"Permission denied" when accessing files outside Desktop folder after installing Ubuntu via WUBI
- by Zhenyi
After I installed Ubuntu by using Windows installer for Ubuntu Desktop, I found that I can only run executable programs in the "Desktop" folder.
In any other folders, when I typed in something like ./a.out, there appears a Permission Denied error.
Also, in the "Properties" dialog box of the file I want to execute, the box of "allow executing file as a program" cannot be chosen if the file is not in the Desktop folder.
What should I type in the terminal to fix the problem?
