Nevermind...








I'm in root and I'm trying to install the ATI display driver for linux and i get "permission denied" when i try:
./ati-driver-installer-8.18.8-x86_64.run
to open the installer

😕
linux:~ # ./ati-driver-installer-8.18.8-x86_64.run
bash: ./ati-driver-installer-8.18.8-x86_64.run: Permission denied
linux:~ #

Just in case anyone else has the same problem, the solution was probably to:

chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.18.8-x86_64.run

To make it executable.
 
yea, i did it in the GUI. but I thought root would still be able to overwrite any permissions. i mean, it's root after all
 
use:
sh ati-driver-installer-8.18.8-x86_64.run

or sometimes the .run installers don't like your glibc version. in that case use:

linux32 sh ati-driver-installer-8.18.8-x86_64.run

that starts it in 32-bit mode. that fixed it for me when I needed a rtcw patch.
