Permission Denied Error during Padvish Linux Installation

Indicators of Compromise

  1. Upon attempting to install Padvish Linux, an error message of “Permission denied” is displayed.
  2. The /tmp folder in your Linux is mounted with noexec access.

Recommended Quick Solution:

  1. If the error occurs to the executable (exe.) file, grant execute access using the following command:
    chmod +x ./PadvishLinuxSetup-*.run
  2. In case an error persists after executing the installation file, deploy the following method to install:
    ./PadvishLinuxSetup-2.2.52.63.run --noexec
    cd installer*
    bash install_hl*.sh

 

The root cause of the issue:

In the Linux operating system, the successful execution of a file depends on two crucial conditions: the presence of execution access (exec) on the file and the absence of the noexec flag on the filesystem where the file is located. Failure to meet either of these conditions results in the inability to implement the program.

The recommended quick solution addresses both aspects:

The command `chmod +x` is deployed to provide this access to the installation file. This step becomes essential when downloading the file from the Internet or copying it from a system lacking this access.

In some Linux configurations, the /tmp file system might be mounted with the noexec flag. The Padvish installation program operates by placing and running files in this folder, If the noexec flag is deployed, it triggers a “”Permission denied”” error.

In the set of commands stated in the Recommended Quick Solution, the installation program is executed with the `–noexec` parameter, allowing it to open the installation files without immediate execution.
By navigating to the installer folder (which may have an extension in some distributions) and running the installation file within it, the actual installation process is initiated.”
