1.First of all cedega doesn't seem to work.

It installed fine, but hangs when thrying to create a new game folder (since there was none)

Do I need to install something related to python?

2. it seems I cannot run programs with

 ./appname

command.
I get the following error :

$ ./BinkPlayer
/bin/dash: ./BinkPlayer: Permission denied
$

I tried to change user from "bin/bash" to "bin/dash", but it didn't help. Does anyone has a solution?

A few things to try
1. Check that the file is executable (right-click and choose Properties>Permissions)
2. Check that the file is executable for the user (If it's not owned by the same user)
3. Check that the partition is not mounted with the noexec option in fstab

checked everything.

Even started the session as root. Even root cannot run executables

Hmm...is the partition the file on mounted with 'user' or 'users' option in fstab? those options imply 'noexec', and you have to explicitly set 'exec' to allow execution from the partition.

Did it work under dapper?...same files?

/dev/hdb1	/media/home	ext3	defaults,users	0	1
/dev/hda5	/media/old	ext2	defaults,users	0	1

I will try to add exec. I will reply soon

EDIT: same error. I will try to reboot and se if it still helps.
Cedega seems to work with the command

 kdesu cedega

Dang, I'm running out of quick ideas...you added 'exec' after 'users'? (it won't help if it's before)

Thanks, I'll put exec after users. Hope it helps

That Helped!
Thanks a million, kubicle!
