LINUX HELP!

[joshuamurphy]

Hey guys.

So I Googled around and was obviously typing in the wrong keywords because i couldn't find much.
Anway here it is

I just downloaded a few of the unigine benchmarks to my Downloads folder. What do I have to do to get it running with primus? I know how to primusrun steam and get that working with my 660 Ti.

 

Using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS but pretty sure that being on a differnt distro wouldn't change my commands anyway.

Thanks in advanced to anyone who can help

My best guess would be in the command prompt

 

cd Downloads
chmod +x <filename>.run

 

Then Execute with 

 

./<filename>.run

it comes up permission denied. then i sudo primusrun'ed it and it still came up permission denied.
does it change anything that the files say .run at the end of them?

Hmm, sounds like the .run files may only be installers, run them normally before trying to load them via this primus thing which seems to help with nvidia stuff on linux (This is what you get for having nvidia on linux, AMD and intel have no problems with this sort of stuff)

If they aren't installers then I just guess forget it. Don't bother

try putting 'sudo' at the beginning of the command(s), then press enter and it will ask for your login password.

 

Note that when you type in the password it wil not show up when you type it in, because of sercuity reasons.

You didn't even read what he said, you just saw permission denied and assumed he didn't sudo it.. read it again.
