Troubleshoot LINUX Files


Common Problems Opening LINUX Files

FreeBSD Removed

When trying to open your LINUX file, you get the error "Can't Open LINUX File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to FreeBSD missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your LINUX file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your LINUX file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


FreeBSD is Out-of-Date

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Linux Data File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Visit the The FreeBSD Community website to download (or purchase) the latest version of FreeBSD. The primary cause of this problem is that your Linux Data File file was created by a different (newer) version of FreeBSD than what's installed.


Tip: Right-clicking on your LINUX, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Regardless, most of the LINUX file opening problems relate to not having the right version of FreeBSD installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading LINUX Files

Even with the correct version of FreeBSD installed, you can still experience difficulties opening LINUXs. If you're still experiencing problems opening LINUX files, there could be other computer problems. Other contributing causes:

  • LINUX file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the LINUX file inside the Windows Registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the LINUX format
  • The LINUX itself is corrupted
  • Your LINUX has adversely impacted by malware
  • Hardware associated with LINUX has outdated drivers
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Linux Data File file successfully
