Well that's the first thing that went through my mind and I've done the
second suggestion in konqueror and it didn't work so I've then done the
first suggestion in a konsole and that doesn't work either. The
properties of the file still show me as the user with read/write
permissions and the execute box is ticked. In a konsole it shows up as
- rws rwx r-x 1<br>
<br>
When I try to run it with ./filename.exe it says 'cannot execute binary
file'<br>
<br>
Something funny going on here. Is there any particularly mono
dependency I should have to execute a .exe file? Never seen that in
Linux before, I always thought .exe was strictly something from the
realm of the Boy God. <br>

<div>that will make the file executable and should let you run it</div>

<div>the other way if just to find the file in nautilus of the kde
file manager right click and select permissions - you can tick on the
execute box there<br>

Ah, I never thought of that. Don't use the cli much so not sure how to<br>
identify which shell I'm using.<br>
<br>
I typed 'shell' into the PCLOS konsole and it returned 'bash' which I<br>
recognise although the system also said it didn't recognise the command.<br>
<br>
I did the same with the ubuntu under VirtualBox and it hesitated for a<br>
few seconds and suggested I'd made a mistake and offered a few choices.<br>
But it didn't identify the shell.<br>
<br>
I'm sure it is all very easy - if you just know. But I don't.<br>
<br>
Some pointers about tinkering with perms would also help.<br>
