chmod 755 pbsetup.run ./pbsetup.run
Some people have problems running pbsetup (especially Ubuntu users). I don't have this problem but friends of mine. Here is what I have found out:
The pbsetup.run was compressed with upx.
file pbsetup.run pbsetup.run: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, statically linked, corrupted section header size
Let's go and decompress the file:
upx -d pbsetup.run
now file output looks different:
file pbsetup.run pbsetup.run: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
There is also a noticeable in filesize (numbers are based on version 2.0 of pbsetup.run):
- compressed: 2539230 bytes
- uncompressed: 6435112 bytes
Official statement from Even Balance
Micah Quinn from Even Balance replied to my trouble ticket, here is what he said:
Hello, The version of UPX used to compress pbsetup for Linux has a flaw in it. Future updates of PBSetup for Linux will use a version of UPX that does not have the flaw.
