try running this as you regular user:

Code:

su -c "/bin/bash /home/javier/Desktop/et-linux-2.56-2.x86.run"

and enter the root password when asked for a password

if you still get an permission error, please post the output of this command:

Code:

ls -l /home/javier/Desktop/et-linux-2.56-2.x86.run

It'll help me/us to see if the permissions are wrong - if so it should be a simple command to fix it

You do it all at a command prompt, i.e. in a shell window or a text console.

I'm putting my money on that one. Lots of downloaded installers aren't executable until you make them executable, and trying to run it will give a permission error.
