Rockbox Utility in Ubuntu 12.04

[chopstickkk]

Can seem to open the application.

Double clicking gives "Could not display "/RockboxUtility".There is no application installed for executable files.
Do you want to search for an application to open this file?"

cd-ing to directory and running sudo ./RockboxUtility does nothing. Straight back to prompt.

Executable bit is checked.


Am I missing something stupid? This is very frustrating.

What is the output of "ldd RockboxUtility"?

"Not a dynamic executable"

This is strange -- it is a dynamic executable. Perhaps Ubuntu did something weird with the binary when extracting it?

Edit: Thinking about it, are you actually trying to run the binary or the archive? How did you get the file you're trying to run? What is the output of "file RockboxUtility"?

Okay had a little think about it and thought it may be something to do with the fact that my 'Downloads' folder is on an NTFS partition. So I...

Moved RockboxUtility to the Ubuntu Desktop (Ext4 partition if I remember correctly) and voila!

ldd RockboxUtility outputs a bunch of stuff

Plus the application runs with a double click!

Thanks for the help Creature and the prompt replies.

It may be a good idea to add that to the installation wiki?

Definitely the binary. Just a regular Nautilus right click and extract here to get at it.

file RockboxUtility gives "RockboxUtility: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=0x6d1e12d2082f5133c9d9c864f6b7be03433c7e55, stripped"

On both NTFS and EXT4

But yes. Problem solved thanks again guys.
