I see what I think is a typo in docs.fedoraproject.org [SOLVED]

This code sample shown in that URL above:

$ sudo ./VMware-Workstation-Full-x.y.z-nn.x86_64.bundle
$ sudo chmod +x ./VMware-Workstation-Full-x.y.z-nn.x86_64.bundle

should be in the opposite order because the chmod +x has be done first:

$ sudo chmod +x ./VMware-Workstation-Full-x.y.z-nn.x86_64.bundle
$ sudo ./VMware-Workstation-Full-x.y.z-nn.x86_64.bundle

I moved your request to the Ask section. Site Help & Feedback is for the Discourse instance in first place.

Just to give you an idea, it would need you to make a pull request to propose the change. This way the person which has the right to change, just can add the correction taking your request.

However, before I make it for you, I would like to know if you went thru the whole document and also checked on the VMware infrastructure if it still works as it should?

The document is almost 5 years old. If there is more not working, it is probably better to tag it for re testing.

Btw. If you do the commands inverted, the System will give you hints that you are not allowed to execute this file, so a user not doing a chmod first time will get the hint.

It is pity, now while you want to help changing something you depend on other users who made that step.

I’m already doing tons, I’m an admin on fedoraforum.org constantly fighting spammers, answering lots of posts. I send in bug reports to bugzilla redhat and KDE. I send in lots of abrt reports. I even write checks occasionally to donate to KDE. I didn’t want to make yet another unique login just to flip two lines, I just wanted to suggest a tip that someone that’s already got a fedoraproject docs account could fix.
