Easiest way to change File Permission in eeeXubuntu

You might somtimes run over an error message in Terminal or whatever console while trying to run a script. The error I am talking about here is the following:

bash: … : Permission denied

This is very easy to resolve in eeeXubuntu. Here are the steps.

Open a Terminal / console
type sudo su
Provide your password
Run thunar by typing thunar &
Browse the file you need to change permission
Right click on that file, click Properties > Permission
Check “Allow this file to run as a program”
There it is. SImple.

Another way to use that file without changing permission is to run it as root user. Open thunar as root, then run the file right there.

I hope this article helps you resolve your problem. Happy reading.
