[SOLVED] Instaling realplayer

[orangebud]

Hello everyone i hope some 1 can help me out. I download realplayer on to my desktop and then i went to applications/ accessories / terminal and then i typed in this

su
(enter password)

and then this mgs came up Authentication failure

chmod a+x /home/aidan/Desktop/RealPlayer11GOLD.bin

Nothing Happens i only install linux today so any help would be great

ubuntu doesn't have the root user enabled by default, but you can use (and it's better) the sudo command:

sudo ~/Desktop/RealPlayer11GOLD.bin

type your own password and follow the installer's instructions.

FYI: sudo means: "do the next command as the root user".
