In a terminal:
Code:
sudo chmod +x fnbconnect-digitalphone-unix-2.3.831.sh
./fnbconnect-digitalphone-unix-2.3.831.sh
-or-
sh fnbconnect-digitalphone-unix-2.3.831.sh^ The preferred method.
When I look at "open with" it only shows gedit but then gedit opens a red window stating it cannot read the code of a sh file?
Using the terminal window in accessories should be fine.
Is that the whole error message ? "Can't open fnbconnect-digitalphone-unix-2.3.831.sh"
What is the output of
Code:
ls -l fnbconnect-digitalphone-unix-2.3.831.sh

Use the terminal, make sure you have copied this file to your desktop then type in the following commands:
After you type in the second line it will ask you for your password, just type it in and it will take you back to the prompt if everything is typed correctly.
Also, a useful function so you don't have to type in the entire filename is just to type the first part "sudo chmod +x fnb" and then press tab on the keyboard, it will then find all files in that location starting with letters "fnb", and it will auto complete the name for you. This is very useful, especially working with long file names and a case-sensitive linux system
If this doesn't work, then either the file is corrupt (try download again) or you need to read the documentation to find out how to use the application. Sometimes you will have to run the application from the command line (like striata reader).

This is the message I get if I try and open it with the default program which is gedit:
Could not open the file /home/freek/Downloads/fn…italphone-unix-2.3.831.sh.
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.

Tim thanks, this is what I get in the terminal now:
No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system.
The version of the JVM must be at least 1.6 and at most 1.6.
Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM.
You can also try to delete the JVM cache file /home/freek/.install4j

You may have to just download and install the newest version of Java (http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp). If this still doesn't work, post back here. You may have to define the path where JAVA is installed, hopefully by installing the latest version it will do this for you.

Also, what linux distro and version are you using?

It also may be easier to try this version: https://www.fnbconnect.co.za/softphone/fnbconnect-digitalphone-unix-with-jre-2.3.831.sh
