Linux - Can Not Start Renoise

Help, Support & Bugs
1

For some reason I can not get Renoise to run on my Linux install.

Just installed Fedora 14 x86_64, added the CCRMA Core (rt kernel etc)and CCRMA and RPMFusion repositories, although not installed any other software. Yum Update performed prior to installing Core.

I am correct in thinking I should be able to run without installing am I not? I remember it from my previous play with Linux (Ubuntu Studio 9.10) If I try and run Renoise from the download folder I get an error message saying ‘Could not display “/media/Data/Linux/Renoise64/rns_2_7_0b4_reg_x86_64/renoise”. There is no application installed for executable files. Do you want to search for an application to open this file?’

This is the same message I got when I tried the i386 version from a Ubuntu Live CD and at the time assumed was due to the fact it was a Live CD. I also get the same message with 2.6.1 final. No difference if I copy the whole folder to Desktop and try from there, rather than mounted media (shared ntfs partition of main hard drive.)

Logging in as Root and running the install appeared to work. The typing renoise into terminal I get 'bash: /usr/local/bin/renoise: Permission denied and this is the same whether I’m trying to access as my normal user or as Root (su.)

If I browse to the installed folder listed above and try and run renoise from there is states ‘The file is of an unknown type’

Running Gnome so obviously have x.org (X11) and ALSA is installed according to the check on the Linux FAQ. If I click Yes to the first message, about Executables, it comes up with suggesting a program called PyPar2 which from a quick search doesn’t look at all related.

What do I need to do???

have you tried to open a terminal, navigate to you renoise folder ```
cd /media/Data/Linux/Renoise64/rns_2_7_0b4_reg_x86_64/renoise

and start it with

./renoise

OK changed the executable bit for User on the Desktop one and I can run it. Surely this should be set as standard, no?

Will not let me change it on my NTFS Data drive, where it is installed from, for some reason.

Going to have to uninstall and reinstall. Where do the shorcuts in /usr/local/bin point to? Surely not the originally uncompressed file. Don’t seem to be able to view them with gedit to check. (Man the few bits I had learn about Linux I’ve almost completely lost!)
