Hello, When I try to run a program from an optical drive as the 'root' user in Debian 7.0, I get a permission denied return. Does anyone know why this happened and how I can stop it from happening again?
Is the drive mounted with the noexec option? That will prevent programs from running. I think mount defaults to noexec for optical and removable drives, unless you specify the exec option the mount command or fstab.
Try mount -o remount,exec $mountpoint (Apologies, I hit Reply instead of Reply to List) -- Dom
