I haven't tried yet but you should be ble to run it.
You have to open the folder that you saved it in and right click --> Click open terminal here.
No right click on et-linux-2.60.x86.run and click properties.
Click permissions and Check the box with run as program.(something like that)
Then use the command sh ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run in terminal.

Are you in the correct folder in terminal?
Use ls -l to see it it is in the correct area.( should see et-linux-2.60.x86.run in the list)
If not use cd to get there.
Then run sudo ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run

When you open terminal use cd Downloads to enter the Downloads folder.
Then use the command sudo ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run to install.

Hi

Where is says Password: did you type your password?

Because as I can see
the only way you can get,

alm@alm-desktop:~$ cd Downloads
alm@alm-desktop:~/Downloads$ sudo ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run
Password:
alm@alm-desktop:~/Downloads$ sudo ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run
alm@alm-desktop:~/Downloads$


is by not typing password
