From terminal go to the filedirectory with "cd" command example: cd Downloads

then type (change filename.jar with real file name you have)

chmod 755 filename.jar

or you can use nautilus select the file right click with mouse Properties → Permissions look for Allow execute permission

chmod u+x jarfilename
would give the user/owner the execute permission to the script .

Can you help with this problem?
