How come I cannot make this file executable (chmod permissions)?
- by bappi48
I downloaded Android Development Tool for linux (ADT) and placed it in home directory. After unzipping the files, when I double click the "eclipse" executable file; the eclipse works perfectly fine.
But If I unzip the ADT in a different directory, in my case directory E: (is shown when I boot in windows 7) There double clicking the same "eclipse" executable file does not run eclipse. It shows error message:
Could not display
/media/Software/00.AndroidLinux/ADT/eclipse/eclipse. There is no
application installed for executable files. Do you want to search for
an application to open this file?
If I press yes in the Dialog, it finds "Pypar2" which is not my solution.
I found that the "eclipse" file permission is following
-rw------- 1 tanvir tanvir 63050 Feb 4 19:05 eclipse
I tried to change the permission by "chmod +x eclipse" , but no use. This command does not change the file permission at all in this case.
what should I do?
Relevant output of cat /proc/mounts:
/dev/sda6 /media/Software fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0
Please not that I'm new to Ubuntu and still learning day by day.
