Linux Mint with Win 10 dual boot

-rw------- 1 hayder hayder 468 oct 13 2013 /home/hayder/Downloads/Xilinx/bin/lin64/xsetup

but the first one (.bin) is working, but please what these numbers and extra like 775 , because it s so difficult for me as first day in linux to remember, is there a simple guide or small explaination about how to run these things

that hasn’t got the execute bit enabled either … run:

chmod 775 ~/Downloads/Xilinx/bin/lin64/xsetup

then try

cd ~/Downloads/Xilinx

then

./xsetup

again.


You’re not going to understand this stuff as a first time user … but then again you won’t need to as it’s rare you’ll
a) need to install software in this manner
and
b) end up with software that the author has screwed up the permissions of

I could attempt to explain it all to you, but believe me you’re unlikely to grasp it yet … that’s for the future :wink:

Linux “permissions” are what keeps your system safe, they’re an integral part of what makes Linux one of (if not the) safest OS out there … but to explain the whole permission system at this point is a big ask.

If you want to know what the
drwxr-x-r-x
mean, along with the 775
this might help

also permission denied

try it with sudo then

cd ~/Downloads/Xilinx

then

sudo ./xsetup

and if it errors, I’ll need the EXACT error in its entirety.

hayder@hayder-Lenovo-G50-80 ~ $ chmod 775 ~/Downloads/Xilinx/bin/lin64/xsetup
hayder@hayder-Lenovo-G50-80 ~ $ cd ~/Downloads/Xilinx
hayder@hayder-Lenovo-G50-80 ~/Downloads/Xilinx $ ./xsetup
./bin/lin64/xsetup: line 21: /home/hayder/Downloads/Xilinx/bin/lin64/_xsetup: Permission denied
hayder@hayder-Lenovo-G50-80 ~/Downloads/Xilinx $ sudo ./xsetup

chmod 775 /home/hayder/Downloads/Xilinx/bin/lin64/_xsetup

then

cd /home/hayder/Downloads/Xilinx

then

./xsetup

Whoever packaged this software is an ijit :slight_smile:

What might make things easier is if we give everything in the Xilinx directory 755 permissions recursively … so

chmod -R 755 ~/home/hayder/Downloads/Xilinx

then

cd /home/hayder/Downloads/Xilinx

then

./xsetup

Remember, Linux commands ARE case sensitive, so that’s a capital R in the first command :wink:

yessssss, it works

:slight_smile:

Hello
