Sounds like you are perhaps in the wrong directory when you execute the chmod command. Try moving to the directory you extracted with command "cd" [directory]. To make sure the chmod worked, you can run "ls -la", it should show something like "-r-x------" [filename], where "x" means you can now run the application.

Symbol "|" is called pipe, and it gives the output of first command to the second command. Most usual use case is probably finding some specific string in a long text output, like: "ps aux | grep [name of the program]". Not sure what you need to press to get it out of n810

Oh, and the "ps aux" above lists all the running processes.

I tried both but did not seem to do anything.
When executing the first row I don't get any confirmation or error message.
When executing the second row I got 'no permission'.
I tried checking for active processes using an app i got running in tne status barr but it didnt show there - and i also tried pulling out the cord whilst playing a podcast through gpodder/panucci but the player did not pause.

Sorry for being new to all of this and making helping out a lenghty process.

(Also..how do I get a 'pipe' as in your example for how to check what processes are active using my N810 keyboard?)
