problem installing real player

amy

HI! I am new to  and have just recently installed it on my computer.
I tried to install Realplayer and downloaded the .bin file and after downloading to my desktop ran the commands quot; chmod a+x RealPlayer10Gold.binquot; but I keep getting this messagequot; chmod: cannot access `realplayer10gold.bin': No such file or directoryquot;
How do I go about with the installation.

Try
Code:
cd Desktopfirst, that might work.

Realplayer screws up my sound on my ubuntu and i needed to reinstall it,
and plus the sound realplayer has is very jolty
this might be a problem on my behalf, but i'm just trying to raise concern

Hey, I get the exact same problem with RealPlayer. Even after quot;cd Desktopquot;.
Please help.

Capitalisation matters, so if the file is called quot;RealPlayer...quot;, it won't be recognised by quot;realplayer...quot;

If you simply type
Code:
chmod a+x Re
then the terminal will autocomplete the rest of it, so long as it's the only file in the folder that begins quot;Requot;. That's not only faster, but it also prevents any typo, and means that if Real have changed the filename since the tutorial (for example if they came out with RealPlayer 11) you won't run into problems.

Or you could find it in Nautilus, and use the GUI to change the permissions.
Find the file, right click, go to permissions.
There is a tick-box for 'Execute'.
Tick the one thats next to your username.
Then you will be able to run it by typing ./filename in the terminal.
