Linux newbie having trouble installing

Post by Shemp » Wed Dec 28, 2011 12:21 am

I've got a new install of Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit & I can't get the Twonkyserver script file download to run. I have downloaded the file several times, so it's not a damaged file.

When I double-click the file gedit opens with nothing in it's window & just sets there. I have moved to the folder where the file is in the terminal, logged in as root and then typed:

sh twonkymedia-i386-glibc-2.2.5-6.0.38.sh

then hit enter and I get sh: can't open twonkymedia-i386-glibc-2.2.5-6.0.38.sh

Other similar attempts through the terminal normally end up with a “file not found” among other returns.

Also, can I rename this script to something short to help reduce the chances of a syntax error?

I've emailed Twonky support, but haven't heard back from them yet. Can someone please help me get this script run?

Thanks

The file needs to have the correct permissions:

Code: Select all

chmod +rx twonkymedia*.sh
The run it explicitly from the current directory:

Code: Select all

./twonkymedia-i386-glibc-2.2.5-6.0.38.sh
No longer running Twonky
