[xubuntu-users] Not able to execute .sh files

[Fred Roller]

Is the .sh file still executable after the update

-rwxrwxr-x 1 user user 29 Nov 25 16:03 HelloWorld.sh*

note the "x" in the permissions.
If not then from command line...

chmod +x [filename]

to add to the given file.  If you suspect a bug then from cli...

vi HelloWorld.sh [or your fav editor]

#! bash
echo "Hello World"
exit

save and exit editor. Then make executable with...

chmod +x HelloWorld.sh

then execute the program...

./HelloWorld.sh

which should produce...

user@~$ ./HelloWorld.sh
Hello World
user@~$

do this as your user, not sudo, and should tell you whether or not there 
is an issue.  If it executes then the issue will most likely be 
permissions in the .sh programs that are failing or the program itself.  
After the test you can erase the HelloWorld.sh program. ;)
