Hello!
I have a program in my /usr/bin directory named qspectrumanalyzer.
I can only execute this program if I switch to being root using the "su" command. I would like to be able to skip the change from being my normal user (curt).
Using ls -la to see how the program permissions are configured, I get the following result:
curt@curt-ThinkCentre-M58p:/usr/bin$ ls -la qspectrumanalyzer
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 228 May 11 22:17 qspectrumanalyzer
Any ideas of how I can make this program executable without switching to root? If I try executing as a normal user, I get the following message:
curt@curt-ThinkCentre-M58p:/usr/bin$ ./qspectrumanalyzer
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./qspectrumanalyzer", line 7, in <module>
from qspectrumanalyzer.__main__ import main
ImportError: No module named 'qspectrumanalyzer'
Any suggestions welcomed -- I've run out of ideas !
