Executable Bit: Wine error in Ubuntu 10.10

If you are bothered by the Windows .exe files execution under the Wine in Ubuntu 10.10 and getting this error:

Blocked: wine start/unix

The file '/media/My Passport/Softwares/Setup.exe' is not marked as

executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

Then you are at the right place. Just do the following:

1. Copy the .exe file to your system (home/desktop: Just to make it sure the file is not on a removable media.)

2. Right click on the .exe file. Click Properties.

3. Click Permissions tab.

4. Check the option: Execute: Allow executing file as program.

5. Close and run it.

You would able be execute it without any errors this time with Wine.

Dual Monitors in Linux with NVIDIA (kubuntu, ubuntu)

Making dual monitors to worik with Linux was what I dealt with today. I was even bribed with a golden star by my professor; if i found a solution to it! And guess what; I go it !! :D

So the solution to it is! ...

Simply go to the terminal.

Make sure you are root mode.

First make sure that the driver is propely installed. Run the command in terminal

$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx

Now comming to the configuration; type in the terminal

$ kdesu nvidia-settings

or if kdesu is not supported replace it by "gksudo"

$ gksudo nvidia-settings

This will make the Nvidia X Server Configuration Module load. From there goto

X Server Display Configuration

There select option TwinView in the Configuration Tag.

Click Apply. And you are done!

Don’t forget to click "Save to X Configuration File".

CiaOo...
