Hi, I'm back playing with ubuntu again today. I want to install the main application we use - it has a linux client that is supplied as a .run file. I read that this can be installed by saving it to my desktop, right clicking it and saying 'open in terminal'. This appears to work with trying to install it. However, it is running into problems I think, in that it wants to install to the /opt directory and the terminal window that opened from the right click does not have permission to write to this directory.
I've tried running it from a terminal window with sudo but I must be missing something as that doesn't fire it up. What application do I tell it to use to install the .run file? I tried dpkg but I can't make that launch the application installer like the right click -> open in terminal did. Can anyone give me a clue please? Regards, Bryce Stenberg.
