Can't Execute BASH Script on CR-ROM Under Fedora 6 KDE
Al Koch
I am running Fedora Core 6 and I have a BASH script that is on a CDROM (that installs software on the CDROM ). When I run GNOME I
can open the CDROM and double click on the script file and execute the script. However, if I change the session to KDE and open the
CDROM and try to execute the script (with CTRL-E) I get the message "Executing shell commands works only on local directories".
mount shows that the cdrom is "noexec" and I've seen some items from web searches that suggest the KDE opens a CDROM this way as a
"security measure" (not sure how this is a security measure). Can anyone confirm that this is the expected behavior? If so, is
there anything *simple* that would all a User to "easily" get the CDROM set to "exec" so they can just execute the script?
I need a really simple solution (like changing a setting using the KDE GUI) because the targeted users are clerks in stores that are
setting up/updating a kiosk. Having to edit fstab files or install autorun programs (assuming that would even work) just won't fly
in this situation. GNOME apparently opens the CDROM as "exec" so I'm hoping someone has an "easy" solution to allow KDE to do the
same.
Thank you.
