Debian :: Cannot Install Kernel - Tar: Bzip2: Cannot Exec: No Such Directory
Sep 8, 2010
I have used this guide to install kernel in my linux cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-26.html stage 1 worked perfectly. Now at stage 2 when I write the command dir/ls in the tmp directory I see the file: linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2 (2.6.26 is the version of my kernel) And now if I try to the tar function on my file and write it like this: Code: tar -xjvf linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2 -C /usr/src it gives me couple of errors like:
tar: bzip2: can not exec: no such directory
tar: error is unrecoverable: exiting now
tar: child returned status 2
tar: error exit delayed from previus errors

I'm trying to install some wireless drivers, but apparently I don't have a /lib/modules/<kernel>/build directory, which is causing the Makefile to throw an error. Is there a specific place I should point the Makefile at?

I'm very very tired, worked all night long, and I did't sleep for hours... So I'm like a zombie now... half awake, and half asleep.
I was trying to clear a directory. Then I run the command cd to enter the directory, and then before thinking I run this dangerous command. on my Linux server: "find / -mtime +1 -exec rm {} ;"
I got a lot of:
Could this command have deleted something inside these directories? I'm afraid that the next reboot the server won't startup...

I have a server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.6.9.55.ELsmp). When it starts up I get the following error: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.10 starting WARNING: can't access (null) exec of init ((null)) failed!!!: 14 unmount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
After that I got no response from the OS. I have the installation CD, so I tried to start the rescue mode, while going through the steps I received an error stating that mounting to /mnt/sysimage failed and that if I want to I can access a shell. I really don't know what to do from here

I followed this doc for the "debian method" for building the kernel: [URL]. I installed the source in /var/tmp/src/linux-2.6-2.6.32 , configured it, and tried make-kpkg modules-image. The error I get is:
checking for current directory... /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver
checking cross compile...
checking for directory with ALSA kernel sources... ../alsa-kmirror
checking for directory with kernel top-level makefile... /var/tmp/src/linux-2.6-2.6.32
checking for directory with kernel headers... failed
make[2]: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver'
make[1]: *** [kdist_image] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver'
Module /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver failed.
I tried some hacks such as setting KBUILD_SRC or ln -s linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64/ /usr/src/linux - but these fail too.

I was told to simply go into the fstab folder to allow myself permissions to execute files without becoming root, but instead of following it blindly I need a 2nd opinion. I cannot install a specific program because of configuration problems even though I downloaded all the gcc, g++ etc packages.

Lately when I've tried to update my packages many of them don't update. I get nothing out of the ordinary when using the terminal but when I try to update via the Update manger I get this error message:
Code:

I've tried several different mirrors but get the same error with every one. Same result with ftp as well. Yesterday I upgraded to Wheezy and every package successfully upgraded, but today the problem started again.

I'm somewhat familiar with Ubuntu (familiar but not sharp!) but have never tried Debian OS until now. I've installed Debian 5 64bit as a guest on a Mac host. I'm impressed how smooth the install went; even installing VB Guest Additions went smoothly. But, I get a "Your system had a kernel failure" error after booting. I have searched the forum & didn't find this error. Everything seems to work okay but is there an update that isn't showing in the Update Manager? Could this have something to do with VirtualBox 3.1.4?

I am looking to use DD to compress an entire disk (sda) to an image file on sdb. A friend told me to mount sdb / partition 1, then as root, type the following command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda | bzip2 -9 >/media/sdb1/disk_image.img.bz2
This did not work. I just get an error message:
Code:
Invalid command line: Not enough files given. Aborting...
I was also told to restore (assuming sda has the image & sdb is the destination), I could do the following:
Code:
bzip2 -cd /media/sda1/disk_image.img.bz2 | dd of=/dev/sdb
Of course, since the first part didnt work, I couldnt test the second. How to use DD to byte for byte image the entire drive & compress it (its mostly empty space).

I have been having a recurring problem backing up my filesystem with tar, using bzip2 compression. Once the file reached a size of 4Gb, an error message appeared saying that the file was too large (I closed the terminal so do not have the exact message. Is there a way to retrieve it?). I was under the impression that bzip2 can support pretty much any size of file. It's rather strange: I have backed up files of about 4.5Gb before without trouble.
At the same time, I have had this problem before, and it's definitely not a memory problem: I am backing up onto a 100G external hard drive.
That reminds me, in fact, (I hadn't thought of this) that one time I tried to move an archived backup of about 4.5Gb to an external (it may have been the same one) and it said that the file was too large. Could it be that there is a maximum size of file I can transfer to the external in one go? Before I forget, I have ubuntu Karmic and my bzip2 version is 1.0.5 (and tar 1.22, though maybe this is superfluous information?)

I am using suse for a long time but I did not yet experience this strange error:
I installed 11.2 and now 11.3RC1 on a new HW: ASUS M4N72-E with AMD Phenom2 X4 965, 8GB Memory, standard settings.
I experienced unusual errors when copying large files to the new system with scp/ssh (connection broken).
Even stranger I could not read .tgz files created on the older machine, same OS 11.2, but MB ASUS M2N32-SLI with AMD Phenom X4 9850
Testing further reveals that if I create a .gz file from the same source it produces every time a different output:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3875041280 Jun 21 01:51 wwtest.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1326141906 Jun 21 01:55 wwtest1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1326137319 Jun 21 03:26 wwtest2.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1326146273 Jun 22 07:32 wwtest3.tar.gz
[Code].....
I never saw something like it, I guess it must be something with the underlying library not working on the new processor. I tried with slower memory speed, newest BIOS etc ...always the same errors. Other wise the system works absolutely stable.
When I compare the generated files with one created on the older system it looks like there are single bits missing in a random number of bites.

I have a backup script basically is this
Code:
BACKUP_DIRS="/etc /boot /root /home"
BACKUP_FOLDER="/tmp/system_backup/
for DIR in ${BACKUP_DIRS}
do
[code]....
All the folders get dumped into seperate gzip files. Now I want all the gzip files in the backup folder into one final gzip or bzip2 file. My goal for this is to get one file instead of multiple so I can scp or ftp the one file to another file share. Which would be easier to send one file than a bunch of files.

i was compiling and installing the new linux kernel for my debian box, i ran the commands
# make oldconfig
# make clean
# make DEB_PKGVERSION=custom.3.0 deb-pkg
# cd ..
# dpkg -i *.deb
i tried to install the new kernel which was made into debian packages ready to be installed and after i ran that last command this is what came up
dpkg: error processing linux-firmware-image_custom.3.0_amd64.deb (--install):
package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)
dpkg: error processing linux-headers-3.0.3_custom.3.0_amd64.deb (--install):
package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)
[Code]....
where do i make this work, my architecture is an amd64 but for some reason it's only going to install this kernel on a i386 system.

I want to install (or compile myself) a previous kernel release (2.6.31.13). Where can I get it?
I mean a Debian Kernel with all your patches etc.
I'm using Debian Unstable. I just noticed that it was the quickest kernel (well, maybe for me only and my hardware).

After a large update of software I can nolonger open Squeeze. I get past the grub screen however before the gdm starts up the screen goes blank and stays that way. I have only one kernel showing on the grub screen.
I tried in Recovery Mode: Ctrl+Alt +F keys with effect and startx returns a blank screen, this is why I though to try loading another kernel to see if that helps. I'm using a Acer Laptop.
My question is: Is it possible while in Recovery Mode to load/install another kernel os that when I get back to the grub screen I have another kernel to try to boot into?

I know from a myriad of posts on these forums that Ubuntu is more bleeding edge than Debian Testing. Since, Debian'w own kernel is misbehaving rejecting my video chip (i915), I am tempted to install Ubuntu's kernel in Wheeze.
So, the golden question is: Is it logical and feasible to install Ubuntu's kernel in Wheezy? Wheezy's kernel is 2.6.38.
