does this error have something to do with permissions? if so how do I fix it ? it actually says Failed to execute child process no such directory even though there is a directory

And when exactly does this error appear? I'm sure it's completely unimportant, but still.

it has happened a few times with different things but today it is Failed to execute child process "/opt/enemy-territory/etded.x86" (No such file or directory).
Failed to execute child process "/opt/enemy-territory/et.x86" (No such file or directory).

Well call me crazy but I think it's trying to execute something which does not exist. I'm also going to take a wild guess here and say that this happens when you try to run enemy territory? Am I correct? How did you install the program?

Failed to execute child process /usr/sniffles/being.right

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

Are you trying to run an i686 binary on x86_64?

That is a completely different error... if irc. Something to do with wrong ELF class.
Offline
Yeah, it says something about wrong ELF class or something like that when you try to run a program that has been compiled for the wrong architecture.
My guess is that something is owned by root and possibly in the wrong mode
Try this:
login as root (or prepend "sudo" to the following command)
chown -r yourusername /opt/enemy-territory
chmod +x /opt/enemy-territory/etded.x86
That will make your user own the entire ET directory and ensure that the etded.x86 file is executable.

Anyway, call me crazy but I'm sticking to the whole "that file doesn't actually exist" idea. It'd be quite funny to know that "no such file or directory" actually means something else.
Offline
if perms are right:
cd /opt/enemy-territory/
./et.x86
maybe
