Need help with Ubuntu
By Kh.Madi, 13 years ago, translation, In English

I'm new on Ubuntu. When I want to run my program, the "Permission denied" message appears. Who knows why? Help please. I wrote a+b program in c++. And compiled like "g++ a.cpp -o a". Then, I wrote in terminal ./a.

ehm... try running it as sudo ./a
it will prompt you for your password. Does this work?

    The main problem is that 'a' file is located on NTFS section, and chmod +x haven't any sence for this FS.
