[SOLVED] Livestation TV

[ibbill]

Pardon my stupidity but have downloaded this program to my desktop. It says to navigate to the download.

Can someone tell me what to type in the terminal to navigate to the download please. :confused:

Your desktop is located: ~/Desktop.

So:

cd ~/Desktop/NAMEOFFOLDER


This will go in the directory located on your desktop.

typed the following and got this in the terminal. thanks for the quick reply.

-desktop:~$ sudo cd ~/Desktop/Livestation-2.1.1.run
sudo: cd: command not found

Why are you trying to 'sudo cd'?

See this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=507718


The reason it is complaining is because the "cd" command is a shell built-in function, not an external command. Your system must lack an external cd executable. I've run into the same problem before. It's a nuisance. Apparently POSIX compliant systems should have a external cd command.

Edit:



greg-powermac:pwd root# which cd
/usr/bin/cd


Looks like i'm OK ;)

thanks for your help just going to let it go. Just not up on this linux. Heres what I tried again thanks for your help. Will wait for the new ibex and try again.

That is a .run file, so you will want to,
cd ~/Desktop then
./filename.run hopefully it is set to run. If not come back with the error message.

Seems you need to execute that file. Try this


cd Desktop
./Livestation-2.1.1.run

if it doesn't work, maybe you need to set the permissions to execute it


sudo chmod +x Livestation-2.1.1.run
./Livestation-2.1.1.run
