There is a file located in another internal partition that I wish to execute. I chown to my current user and I marked it as executable chmod a+x to the script and I could do this without any errors but still when I run ./ it gives me this error message
fish: The file “./Abstract_Kandinsky_Art” is not executable by this user
Here is my permissions
-rwxrwxrwx
and users
user1 root
What does the command file ./Abstract_Kandinsky_Art output?
It outputs this:
#!/bin/sh
APPDIR=$(readlink -f "$0")
APPDIR=$(dirname "$APPDIR")
java -Xms64m -Xmx512m -Djna.nosys=true -Djava.library.path="$APPDIR:$APPDIR/lib" -cp "$APPDIR:$APPDIR/lib/Abstract_Kandinsky_Art.jar:$APPDIR/lib/core.jar:$APPDIR/lib/jogl-all.jar:$APPDIR/lib/gluegen-rt.jar:$APPDIR/lib/jogl-all-natives-linux-amd64.jar:$APPDIR/lib/gluegen-rt-natives-linux-amd64.jar:$APPDIR/lib/jl1.0.1.jar:$APPDIR/lib/jsminim.jar:$APPDIR/lib/minim.jar:$APPDIR/lib/mp3spi1.9.5.jar:$APPDIR/lib/tritonus_aos.jar:$APPDIR/lib/tritonus_share.jar" Abstract_Kandinsky_Art "$@"
If that is what the command file outputs there is something fairly unique about your system. Do you have file aliased?
Can we see the output of ls -l ./Abstract_Kandinsky_Art
Well it is under the Megasync folder
Sure mate
-rwxrwxrwx 2 user1 root 551 Oct 25 23:17 Abstract_Kandinsky_Art*
Uhh…what? I am not sure we are communicating well. There is a Linux command that is named “file”. I was asking you to run the command:
file ./Abstract_Kandinsky_Art
Normally, it would output information about the file in question, not the contents of it.
Oh sorry, it is this
./Abstract_Kandinsky_Art: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable, with very long lines
Two questions:
mount that relates to that volume?Yes, still can’t run it.
Sure mate. I just simply typed mount in the same directory as where that file is located, is that correct? Here is the output of it:

What is the full path of Abstract_Kandinsky_Art?
/run/media/Windows10 and /run/media/Large are both mounted with noexec so if it is inside one of those it probably won’t run.
Sorry how would I change these, I believe I would have to edit the /etc/fstab file but what do I change?
Can we see the contents of your existing /etc/fstab?
Also, it looks like they are currently being automounted using fuseblk. What filesystem is on those volumes? Are they both ntfs?
Sure it is
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may
# be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
# disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

UUID=b5a38b96-c66f-4d70-8cda-3a9fcef804fb /run/media/Large_linux ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2
I manually setted these partitions to mount through the /etc/fstab file.
they are ntfs but it is mounted as ntfs-3g
It looks like you need to add exec to the options section so change it like this:
UUID=D660723E60722601 /run/media/Windows10 ntfs-3g auto,users,permissions,exec 0 2
UUID=E4DA3432DA33FEFC /run/media/Large ntfs-3g auto,users,permissions,exec 0 2
That being said, since everything on an ntfs partition is probably going to be executable there is some danger in doing this.
A much better solution would be moving that script to a non-ntfs volume.
Lastly, permanently mounting volumes to /run is really not the best practice since /run is typically a tmpfs.
I see, I will take caution with this 
Yes makes sense.
Oh, so it should have been mounted in /mnt instead?
/mnt will work fine but so would any permanent part of the filesystem.
Is this where I should typically mount partitions though for internal partitions?
There are no hard and fast rules for that. You can put them where it makes sense for you.
Personally, I have filesystems mounted all over the place including /mnt
Just make sure you test your new fstab entries before you reboot.
