I just got 13.04 and need to know how to mark a file as executable. So if someone could tell me how that would be great. When I go to permissions the execute thing is not there.

Have you tried right clicking the file, clicking 'Properties', then clicking the 'Permissions' tab, and then checking the box 'Allow executing file as program'? You must be logged in as the same user who owns this file: it will show the owner in the 'Permissions' tab. – HarlemSquirrel Sep 18 '13 at 14:09

Its says the owner is me and I'm logged on. – Ben Sep 18 '13 at 14:11

The only things it shows are the read, write, or read and write things. – Ben Sep 18 '13 at 14:13

Post the screenshot at an image hosting service and put a link in the question. I'll post it into the question for you. – Tom Brossman Sep 18 '13 at 15:38

You should see a check box like shown here to make it executable. Are you seeing something different? – Tom Brossman Sep 18 '13 at 15:49
