fwupd to update OCZ RevoDrive firmware gets a 'Permission denied' error
- by Late
Try as I might I just don't get it working (http://www.ocztechnology.com/ssd_tools/OCZ_RevoDrive_and_RevoDrive_X2/).
There's another thread here with an similar issue here: Command is giving me "bash: ./fwupd: cannot execute binary file"
I'm running command
./fwupd /dev/sdb
which keeps returning me
bash: ./fwupd: Permission denied
I have tried running both bit versions available of fwupd with both of the latest 32- and 64-bit Ubunty 11.10, running the OS from an USB stick, but to no avail (could this be the problem?). In the other thread it was suggested that chmod +x fwupd (or chmod 0755 fwupd) should resolve this issue, but at least for me it has been for naught. It was also suggested to install certain libraries, but those were already included in the Ubunty build and I didn't have any luck after updating with apt-get. I also tried giving fwupd more privileges, r, x and w but same charade, run it in different ways from different places (where I'd have the fwupd present, ofc) among other things.
What I also tried is giving the Ubunty 10.04 LTS a shot but it didn't even launch on either of my computers, though that's not the issue here.
If anyone has any ideas on what the problem is and how I could get this working, it would be most appreciated!
