can't run unrevoked program (permissions problem?)

[alayoyo]

Strange...Lets see it's permissions:

ls -l reflash

By the way, are you logged in with a user that is allowed to use sudo? You're not using a guest account or something?

here is the output for that...

yoyo@musicbox:~$ cd /home/yoyo/android/
yoyo@musicbox:~/android$ ls -l reflash
-rwxr-xr-x 1 yoyo androot 27554756 2011-01-07 23:54 reflash
yoyo@musicbox:~/android$

i'm pretty sure my account can use sudo (once i enter my pword). not really sure how to test this. i log in on boot-up with 'yoyo' and my pword. when i need to sudo, i enter that same pword.
the 'androot' thing was a group i added a few days ago, while trying to fix this. the group i see for properties on folder is yoyo (and user yoyo) which i assume is from when i first installed.

hm...is it a wubi install or a real install of Ubuntu? I'm running out of ideas what it can be, as the previous codes I showed earlier worked for me (and I'm running 64-bit as well). Try put 'group' back to yoyo, try again.

also try first with

chmod x+a reflash
./reflash
#or
sh reflash

Well i figured out it was actually a conflict of an program for 32 bit vs running 64 bit OS, although if you have some libraries installed already it can still work.

I had an old 32 bit laptop in the closet, and it worked on there. I sort of forgot that 32/64 is still an issue sometimes.

thanks for the help, AI
