hi all,
first time this has happened to me in the 4 yrs ive been using linux....new install of 10.2 on an acer 5100, unfortunately has an ati radeon 1100 chipset, any clue here?
steve@reilly:~> cd ~/Desktop steve@reilly:~/Desktop> su Password: reilly:/home/steve/Desktop # ./ati-driver-installer-8.32.5-x86.x86_64.run bash: ./ati-driver-installer-8.32.5-x86.x86_64.run: Permission denied reilly:/home/steve/Desktop #
Hmm, why not get root's environment? I'd do it like this:
su - <enter root password> sh ~steve/Desktop/ati-driver-installer-8.32.5-x86.x86_64.run

If they are, that is a security flaw. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

They are not executable: we call them via sh. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFF4XagtTMYHG2NR9URAp57AJ40I/14LmP4hr2XgP1LNVrpglmP3QCcDIlv O2XjM/3JqfqIarJpX+Y3+K0= =FM/e -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
