AES Crypt GUI Issue with Ubuntu ARM64 Version

[hellosharky4567]

Hello!

I'm currently trying to download AES Crypt GUI onto my Ubuntu device I do everything that is asked in the documentation and follow the directions. However when I use the command

Code: Select all

./AESCrypt-GUI-1.0-Linux-x86_64-Install

I get an error "bash: ./AESCrypt-GUI-1.0-Linux-x86_64-Install: No such file or directory". I then typed in the command

Code: Select all

ldd AESCrypt-GUI-1.0-Linux-x86_64-Install

I get back "not a dynamic executable". I'm not entirely sure as what I can do, I was able to download the terminal version of AESCrypt, but my class requires me to get the GUI version. I also wanna make note I have a MacBook Pro running on M1 Chip, so I had to download the Ubuntu Arm64 version onto vmware.

version of Ubuntu I run on VMWare Fusion.
5.15.0-92-generic #102-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 10 09:37:39 UTC 2024 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

If I recall correctly, the installer doesn't have execute permission once extracted. Try changing the permissions using "chmod 755" with the filename following. You should then be able to invoke it.

Since you're on a Mac, there is a command line version you can download for the M1. Just out that in your path somewhere (/usr/local/bin/ is good). You could then run it from the terminal. That would be much easier than a VM.

I run the

Code: Select all

chmod 755 AESCrypt-GUI-3.11-Linux-x86_64-Install 

command and then run

Code: Select all

sudo ./AESCrypt-GUI-3.11-Linux-x86_64-Install

. I get this really weird error:

./AESCrypt-GUI-3.11-Linux-x86_64-Install: 1: : not found
./AESCrypt-GUI-3.11-Linux-x86_64-Install: 2: ���O@@��w: not found

I was able to get the command line version to work on my Ubuntu. However, for my college class it is needed that I download the GUI version onto my Ubuntu VM.

Wow, that's some strange output. I've never seen the before. I can give it a try this weekend if you tell me what version of Ubuntu you're using. Also, what desktop manager?

[hellosharky4567]

Hello,

my version of Ubuntu:
Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy

The desktop manager:
Ubuntu: GNOME

I plan on talking to my professor tomorrow about the issues ive been facing.
Thank you very much paulej!

I just sat down to look at this issue and realized that the title says ARM64. (I didn't notice that when traveling and peering into my phone screen.)

There isn't a build for ARM, so it's no wonder you're getting these kinds of weird results. You could easily build the command-line version on ARM from the source code, but the GUI would be a bit more involved.

I see. After speaking to my professor he was able to get an online tool that allows to access different VM's through a browser. Thank you very much!
