I am hoping somebody can help me. I am trying to setup a test server in Ubuntu 19.04 running Ignition 8.0.7. I will admit I am a novice when it comes to Linux.
After downloading the designerlaucher and extracting it, what is the next step the gateway says to “Open the Designer Launcher” but the OS seems to not recognize the designer launcher file and just opens it in the text editor.
Thank you for the response, but I am not following you. After extracting it and opening the extracted folder when double click on the designerlauncher file it just opens in a text editor. What do you mean by making sure its executable?
you can cd into the file’s location then run chmod +x on the file. This makes sure it has executable privilege. You check any file for RWX permissions by using ls -l
I ran the chmod +x command on the file and when looking at the properties it says it is executable yet i cant get it to run. Still just opens in the text editor.
I have the same problem with ubuntu 20.04.
I tried to set up the preference of the file explore to run the executable file instead to show them as text file, but in anycase i cannot to run the designer launcher. ( see the picture to see how I have setup the preferences).
suggestions?
