griptypethyne Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I have downloaded the nvidia NVchooser.sh script and placed it in my home directory. When I open a terminal and enter the command NVchooser.sh I receive a Permission Denied message. I logged on as root and re-entered the command. This time the error message was Command Not Found. I then tried ./NVchooser.sh andthe message was Permission Denied. I suspect that I am doing something silly. Any ideas? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Did you make the script executable? If you use KDE, rightclick the file, choose properties, go to the second tab and tick 'executable'. Then try again with ./. (if you don't use KDE, change permissions with chmod) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It solved the problem and I am now downloading the two files. Installing Linux may be a little bit frustrating at times but I much prefer the modular, user is in control philosophy to the big blob (and growing), we know best approach of my old OS. I installed Linux without difficulty or upsetting Windows. Then a week later I did something silly and in trying to fix it I did something even sillier. Windows is now un-bootable but I am not in a hurry to reinstall it. I may never do so........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
