how do i get superuser privileges

What are you trying to do with this .exe file?

I suspect that you don't have permission to execute this file. Enter "chmod u+x /media/Lexar/Luxor3Install.exe" then try your command again.

I think you are installing a Win32 game so you must use Wine to try to install and play with it...

To install wine

Please first enable the universe repository:

Open System->Administration->Software sources-> [ Tab Ubuntu software ]
enable "Community Maintained open source software (universe)"
Close and confirm the repository reload.

Then open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install wine

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then there are a lot of howto on the net:

Hope this helps

Hi,

Or try to run it with wine with this command:
wine /media/Lexar/Luxor3Install.exe

I have no idea how to get superusers privilege. Someone can explain me step by step how to get them? Thank you

Please simply use "sudo" prefix to a command to use/run it as root user. Root is the superuser of the system.

So you can a command as normal user, for example, open a terminal and type (the -l parameter below is the lower of -L ) :

fdisk -l

or with superuser privileges, still in a terminal and type:

sudo fdisk -l

Hope this helps

Does this work?

apturl apt:wine?section=universe

Using "sudo" the system will ask you for a password, give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

How about this: http://tinyurl.com/installwine

Ok I wrote up some better instructions:

----

The first thing you need to understand is that this is Windows software. Windows software does not run in Ubuntu, (just like Apple software does not run in Windows and Windows software does not run on Apples). If you can find a Linux or Ubuntu version of the software (like a .deb file instead of an .exe file), you should always use that instead.

In this case I don't think there is a Linux version.

However, you can sometimes run Windows software using a program called Wine, which acts like a translator to make the Windows software work under Ubuntu. The Windows software is not designed to work in Wine, so you might have success with this or you might not. Some programs work great and some programs don't work at all. To try running the program with Wine:

1. Install Wine. The easiest way to do this is to click this link: http://tinyurl.com/installwine (Clicking it loads an AptURL, which should tell your package manager to download and install the Wine package from Ubuntu's software repository.)
2. Now you should be able to double-click the .exe file and it should open using Wine.

If double-clicking doesn't work, try right-clicking the .exe file, select "Open with...", and then find "Wine Windows Program Loader" in the list. Select it and push "Open".

If this method doesn't work, *then* you can try digging around on the command line. :)
