Ultimate Edition Forum

i tried to run a software on Ultimate Edition 1.9 but it gave me an error while it runs properly on fedora 10. What can be the problem??? are there diff binary files for Ultimate Edition??

Please help

Which one is it? Fedora is a totally different ball game. You may have to go to Debian's website and try their version.

I hope you didn't try to run a rpm package on Ultimate Edition who likes only deb files?

We know that:sudo alien package.rpm...etc.

I think you're right,I saw many drivers on google who are available only in rpm packages.I had to convert one for my printer once.

it was a binary file... i run it using ./filename

'I think that alien should be used more often and talked about more.'
This is unnecessary if you run multiple operating systems in a virtual environment. You can have access to all software on the planet that way without wasting time tracking down dependencies and installing suspect packages that don't work. Try it, you'll like it!!!

how do i run a binary file in Ultimate Edition?

'how do i run a binary file in Ultimate Edition?'
Binary files are the same a .exe files in Windows. They launch programs. Most of your binaries(executables) are located in /usr/bin /usr/sbin or usr/games directories. When you click on an icon in your start menu your are launching a binary. The icon is pointing to a binary in a directory. To run one you just click on it, that's it!!

How stupid can I be sometimes,just now I fully understood the question.
To install/execute a bin file in Ubuntu/Debian based off systems:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod +x filename.bin
./filename.bin
