OK, I know there are over 100 questions on this forum just like this one, I know because I've read every one of them, with no luck. I have downloaded a .bin file, extracted the contents into a folder. Which gives me a .sh file to install. I have:
- made sure it was executable both in dolphin, and the file properties itself
Tried
sudo chmod 777 filename.sh
sudo chmod +x filename.sh
tried to run it in terminal by typing in:
sh ./filename.sh
source ~./filename.sh
/bin/bash/filename.sh
source ./filename.sh
sudo ./filename.sh
!/bin/bash/filename.sh
sudo bash/ filename.sh
and some more, on another terminal window I've closed, so I don't remember what all it was.
This is a driver for my Belkin router, so I can utilize the USB ports on the router, which I need for my home network.
No matter what I do, I either get an error of some type, or it just returns, but never installs. As you can see I've spent a lot of time on this, trying every possible way I could find, I even downloaded the dh-make software from the repository, which is supposed to make files executable, didn't work. So what am I doing wrong? Is there another way I can try, I really need to get this installed. Normally I won't download anything from the internet, if I can't get it in a repository, I do without. However I got this from Belkin, a major company so I feel I can trust it. Please Help.
EDIT: Ok, there was no output of any of the things I tried, I typed in the command, hit enter, and instantly had another prompt. That was it. The result of the "head -n1" command, was #!bin bash.
Here is the address where I downloaded the file
Download Belkin F9K1103 Router Firmware 1.00.42 for Linux
btw. just wanted to say, I don't know what happened on my formatting, but the edits that were made was the way I originally put it in. I don't know why it jumbled into one paragraph like that. Thank you to whoever corrected it, it just bugs me it didn't keep the formatting I put in.
