I go to konsole in Ubuntu, type in /home/tim/c5a/kyle.odt to open a file and it says "permission denied".
Why might that be? Wouldn't it open in Libre office so I can read it? I could just go through the gui to open it but I am trying to learn the commands in the command prompt.
Thanks.
Tim
The message is telling you that your .odt file is not an executable file. You need to open it with the appropriate executable program (Libre Office). I believe the executable name if "libreoffice", so try: libreoffice /home/tim/c5a/kyle.odt
or
libreoffice ~/c5a/kyle.odt
