  • New install not working on lubuntu

    Hello,

    Something really basic I expect.

    I downloaded passmark benchmark onto two separate machines both running Lubuntu 18.04

    I extracted the zip file and in terminal went into the extracted "PerformanceTest" folder.

    There were two files, pt_linux_x64 and readme.txt

    I followed the instructions from the readme.txt file
    [
    Installation
    ============
    Unzip the executable from the downloaded zip file using "unzip pt_linux_x64.zip" (substituting x64 for the matching architecture)

    How to launch application
    ==========================
    To run application via the command line, from your terminal:
    1. Change the current working directory to where you have unzipped PerformanceTest
    2. Launch PerformanceTest using the command ./pt_cmd_line
    ]

    and get the error

    [
    $ ./pt_cmd_line
    bash: ./pt_cmd_line: No such file or directory
    ]

    with show hidden files, there are none!

    ​I have tried it with sudo and get the same error.

    I have also tried the run the executable pt_linux_x64 both with and without sudo getting the command not found error.

    I know this is no doubt something really stupid.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    Thanks in advance

    There is a typo in the readme.txt file (or we forgot to update it), in this case "pt_cmd_line" should be "pt_linux_x64". Assuming you have correct permissions, then "./pt_linux_x64" should launch PerformanceTest. If is not launching, check the permissions on the filee.g., "ls -l" to and check that it is execute rights, if not, you may need to "chmod +x pt_linux_x64" to allow executable permissions.
