ZD on Ubuntu 10.4 LTS

[badaveil]

Hi newbie here

I just installed Ubuntu 10.4 LTS and downloaded Zimbra 1.2.4 build 1833 i686.sh but got the following message:

Could not open the file /home/user/Downloads/zde…_build_1833_linux_i686.sh.

Reason it said:

gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding. Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. Select a character encoding from the menu and try again.

Does this mean the two are not compatible?

Worked for me. From the error message, it sounds like you're trying to open in gedit for some reason. The easiest thing would be to open a terminal, cd to the directory where you downloaded to and run:

chmod +x zdesktop_1_0_4_build_1833_linux_i686.sh
./zdesktop_1_0_4_build_1833_linux_i686.sh

I tried and got :

user@pc:~$ chmod +x zdesktop_1_0_4_build_1833_linux_i686.sh
chmod: cannot access `zdesktop_1_0_4_build_1833_linux_i686.sh': No such file or directory
user@pc:~$ ./zdesktop_1_0_4_build_1833_linux_i686.sh

Where did I go wrong?

Looks like you are likely in the wrong directory. Assuming you used Firefox with the default settings on Ubuntu, you'll need to run "cd Downloads" before running those commands.

This thread is getting way off-topic though. If that doesn't work, open up a new thread and someone will gladly help you get it installed

At first introduce yourself with some basic Linux commands and than try to install something.
