General :: Making Tar File From Folder - Unknown Option
Aug 6, 2010
I am trying to make my first tar file in linux. I am trying to make a tar file from a folder (with all subfolders and files) and using several commands I got several errors!
This is the tar usage:
tar [-]{txruc}[eONvVwAfblhm{op}][0-7[lmh]] [tapefile] [blocksize] [[-C directory] file] ...
Some of my attempts and responses:
tar -czf itic_glb_cognity-06082010.tar.gz itic-glb-cognity/
response: tar: z: unknown option (not using 'z' again!)
tar -cf itic-glb-cognity-06082010.tar.gz itic-glb-cognity/
response: tar: cannot stat itic-glb-cognity. Not dumped.
The last ones repeats for all the next attempts:
tar -cf itic-glb-cognity-06082010.tar.gz itic-glb-cognity
tar -cf iticglbcognity06082010.tar.gz itic-glb-cognity/
(full path + name without spaces) tar -cf iticglbcognity06082010.tar.gz /epos/webbus/bea/user_projects/domains/itic-glb-cognity
For some of the above a 10kb file was created, where the expected file would be about 250MB. I dont think it has anything to do with the user's rights, because I think I have them all.

I've recently upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 (a bit late, I know), but have been getting repeated messages telling me that the filesystem is running low on space.
I've run apt-get autoremove and autoclean, but there is still insufficient space for me to upgrade to 11.04.
Whilst looking through the /home folders, I came across a number of 2 character titles folders in the /home/user directory. These have the extension.file. Does anyone know what they are, and can I delete them?

Recently I did a System Mechanics clean-up of invalid and other misc files. The files were moved to the recycle bin, but I couldn't open a file individually while it was in the recyle bin in order to double check whether or not I wanted to perminently delete it. I then selected all items and moved them to a single folder hoping to open it later to review the individual files.I don't know the folder name or what part of the computer this folder was moved to. Is there a way I can find this new folder, name unknown, that was created on 10-12-10? I'm sure it's taking up valuable space in my computer and I want to permently delete the unwanted items individually and not as a whole batch.

Quick question. I need to ensure that all my files within specific folders are marked as being read only if the folders name is 'Forms' for example. There may be many 'forms' folders on the server within many different directories.It is a requirement that everything within these folders are marked as being read only but people are not doing so for whatever reason, and would therefore like for it to be done automatically i.e. a script executed by a cron job every eve to esnure that all files within the forms directories are marked read only.

make a simple script to copy files from my "hfiles " directory to a "www" folder at leats I think its a directory, it has the permissions as "lrwxrwxrwx " but its like a public branch So I proceeded to make a file entittled MkPublic to copy the "hfiles" directory to the "www" branch
here is the code i used:
#!/bin/sh
# COPIES FILES
echo "copying files"
[code]....
when i try to run the script it tells me that there is a syntax error and an unexpected end of file and nothing seems to get copied anywhere so clearly there is something wrong with one im doing, i tried multiple ways : using the quotes, spacing the equal signs, but I seem to still get the same results.

I'm running sed in WinXP on a text file using a script file. Every time I run it I get an unknown option to 's' error:C:Program FilesGnuWin32in>sed -f jagerize.sh input.txt>output.txtsed: file jagerize.sh line 22: unknown option to 's' I've tried two different implementations of sed, with the same result. Deleting the offending line in the script file still produces the same result (as the next line has the same syntax). I'm guessing the problem has something to do with WindowsXP, but I'm a complete newbie with sed and Linux.Here is the script file I am using:
#!/bin/sh

# Jagerizer 1.2

I am trying to get bind 9 up and running on a new installation of server 10.04 and keep getting errors when starting the daemon -
* /etc/bind/named.conf.local:19: unknown option 'zone'
* /etc/bind/named.conf.local:20: unknown option 'zone'
* /etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones:3: unknown option 'zone'
* /etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones:11: unknown option 'zone'
* /etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones:16: unknown option 'zone'
* /etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones:21: unknown option 'zone'
* /etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones:26: unknown option 'zone'
The onlything I could find after scrubbing the internet is once ina while there's a missing bracket. But I have checked and triple checked my config files and the syntax and can't find anything wrong. I have another installation of bind9 running on Fedora and the same exact syntax works just fine.

I am getting this error "Unknown filter "police", hence option "rate" is unparsable. This is in Linux Kernel 2.6 which is compiled with the "policing" option enabled in Qos (Kernel config). The error seems to be coming from the file tc.c in iproute2/
static int parse_nofopt(struct filter_util *qu, char *fhandle, int argc, char **argv, struct nlmsghdr *n) {
__u32 handle;
if (argc) {
fprintf(stderr, "Unknown filter "%s", hence option "%s" is unparsable
", qu->id, *argv);
return -1;
} if (fhandle) {
struct tcmsg *t = NLMSG_DATA(n);
if (get_u32(&handle, fhandle, 16)) {
fprintf(stderr, "Unparsable filter ID "%s"
", fhandle);
return -1; }
t->tcm_handle = handle; }
return 0; }
This is called from get_filter_kind() which is called from tc_filter_modify(), called from do_filter(), from do_cmd() from main()...all in tc.c. Is this a known "bug" in iproute2+2.6 as the 2.4 Kernel works with the same settings?

I had a external HD from Lacie that just made me mad because you could only log into it from a windows or mac machine. So I took the 250 HD out and through it in my P3 733Mhz Processor, 128 Ram Dell optiplex. Now My Lacie HD had a Network function on it where It had a webserver and a GUI to manage users to it. But it couldn't never get the HD to turn on for Network. It would only turn on when plugged into a USB. So I want to turn my Dell optiplex into a file server with web gui functionality. How should I start.

The *.dbf files (DBase III Plus files) have a header (metadata) and follow with n fixed records. I'd like to make a directory entry (like a symbolic link) that point to the fixed record area into a .dbf file. Is it possible in linux? The request is motivated by access a .dbf file from a Firebird SQL Database using CREATE TABLE EXTERNAL FILE '/tmp/mydbf.dbf' ( ... ); but this command only works on fixed records.

I'm trying to make my first c project (a simple tic tac toe console game), and I am wondering how to make a final product (copy all source code files to a distribution folder upon compilation). Should I use a bash script or should I use a makefile to make the distribution folder? I'm not terrible familiar with either; I have a basic makefile to make an executable, and that's about all I know of make.
And if I do use a bash script, how do I copy over source code files? I tried cp ./*.c and cp ./*.h, but I think the script read it literally as moving a file named ./*.c (and ./*.h), and couldn't find it.
My makefile is pretty much this:
Code:
objectFiles = main.o io.o board.o game.o
ttt : $(objectFiles)
cc -o ttt $(objectFiles)

Yesterday I installed the latest version of ubuntu to my computer that was already running windows 7. I had everything working fine until in windows I deleted a partition that had nothing in it.
After this I restarted but I can't get into either OS. I get an error that says Error: unknown filesystem grub rescue>
I think I need to fix something in grub. I have been booting off of a usb stick with linux on it in the mean time.

I want to take a graphics file and make 10 copies of it to the same directory, each with 001, 002, or some such designation at the end of each file name so they have discrete files names. Is this possible using cp?

I have a fresh install of Kubuntu 11.04 and I already have the lastest ecryptfs-utils installed. I have the ".Private" folder but not the "Private" folder.
When I try to set it up I get this error:
Quote:
$ ecryptfs-setup-private
ERROR: wrapped-passphrase file already exists, use --force to overwrite.
How do I get my "Private" folder to appear? I don't think I should just be throwing my stuff into ".Private" and I don't want to have to see all the hidden folders all the time either. Should I use the --force argument, and what would that do?

I want to copy all files with the name XYZ* into one folder. The problem is that the files are in different subfolders and that not even the depth of the folder structure is the same for all files. Luckily, at least each file has a unique name.
Of course, I thought about the cp command but I guess the depth of the folder structure needs to be the same for this to work.

I tried compiling linux kernel 2.6.37-rc2 (mainline), Compilation and installation of kernel and modules went fine. After that while trying to make initrd image, I used the following command :-
mohitdhingras@mohitdhingras-laptop:~$ sudo mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.37-rc2 2.6.37-rc2
It is showing warnings like :-
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/2.6.37-rc2/radeon/RV610_me.bin for module radeon

Actually, "2.6.37-rc2" folder is missing in "firmware".

I'm working on a alias/script that will make it easier to look at my environment via the set command.
On my ubunto when running set it also displays some 10 pages of code pertaining to something called "imagemagik". at the end of the output. This code begins with the { character.
This is annoying if I want to look at my environment when working on scripts. How could I use something like grep, awk, sed, or whatever to ignore everything after the "{" character.
That seems to be the simplest way as long as there are no leading brackets in my environment. (And if you're thinking I should just remove {imagemagik}, I might just do that. But I still would like to know how to do this).

I have a table-top DVD player that can play DVDs and DIVX video files.
BTW, I know how to make Divx files using ffmpeg, mencoder and HandBrakeCLI.
What I don't know how to do is add the subtitles from the DVD to the Divx files. I want the option to turn on and off the subtitles from the divx file. Is this possible?

been looking for a easy way for simple users (newbies) to share folders over the internet with friends. I found almost nothing about it, in both Windows and Ubuntu, as people usually recommend online sharing (as dropbox and Ubuntu One, which is not what I ask for) or ssh, ftp and related, which are usually not trivial to set up for simple user and you need to install a nice GUI for the client.Why isn't there a simple way as a right-click menu option, then choosing some user/password and having it available over some iport? Something like local network file sharing.This seems like an incredible tool to have.
