unable to change file permissions for executable file
Asked by
Daria Patrie
I have installed ubuntu as a dual boot on my windows vista machine. I am attempting to access the windows files on the windows partition. I wish to execute a file in wine. I cannot do so because the file permissions are preventing it. When I right click on the file in the directory and select properties and then permissions, I go to put the checkmark into allow executing file as program and the checkmark immediately disappears from the box. How do I use the GUI to set the permissions properly for this file?
Thank you,
~Daria
