View 5 Replies View RelatedI have got a backfile with extension .tar.gz.enc. After fooling around I found out that it is encrypted gzipped tarball.

where I can receive a uncompress (which I guess is a .rpm) or utility that will work with my version of RHEL 5.6?

I have an upstream source tarball which, by coincidence, already contains a directory named "debian", but which has nothing to do with the "debian" directory for packaging. Assume also that renaming this directory would be difficult, for example because many other parts of the code would need to be modified. On an rpm based system, this poses no problem to the packager, since the rpm build process is driven by an external spec file and never has to modify the original source. What would be the best way to package this on a debian system? Is it absolutely necessary to rename the original "debian" directory? Or can I make the dpkg build tools operate out of a different directory?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a folder and its contents with the following permissions: 2750 (sguid bit). With this I ensure that a newly created file or folder inside that folder will adopt the SGUID. The problem is that if I copy files into that folder, these copied files don't adopt the SGUID. So I have to execute constantly the command: chgrp -R thegroup nameofthefolder everytime I copy or uncompress something into that folder. Is there any way to achieve this (force the SGUID even in copy and uncompress commands) automatically?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWith tar, it is possible to back up your desktop system like so (probably best done from runlevel 1 or a live medium):
# cd / # or wherever your root directory is mounted
# tar --exclude=dev/* --exclude=proc/* --exclude=sys/* --exclude=tmp/* --exclude=backup.tar.gz -czvpf backup.tar.gz .

Is there a way that I can recover or extract the tarball? I tried to gunzip first but to no avail as well.
I created a tarball with multiple files. The rpm generator requires those files to be inside a folder. I don't want to move the files before generating the tar. Is there a way to create this folder while generating the tar or after it?

I know there is lots of documentation out there for installing tar balls but I can't make it work I am trying to work with this file sauerbraten_2009_05_04_trooper_edition_linux.tar.bz2 in file:///home/Nemesis/Downloads/sauerbraten_2009_05_04_trooper_edition_linux.tar.bz2
I am running Fedora 12, the gnome desktop if the desktop matters. I have been running Fedora almost elusively for 2 years and off n on before that but in my many attempts at trying to Install a TARBALL I have always failed hard.
(1)I got ffmpeg-checkout tarball dated 5 june 2010 . It was bigger than ffmpeg-export of same date but I noticed the binary ffmpeg & ffplay generated after './configure' & 'make' are same size.

Do I have to get tarballs (of libx264 & libtheora) & compile them .
I tried to install gfortran on my computer. When I extract the tarball, I forgot the '-C' option of the command 'tar', which should be added, according to the instruction of installation.
That is to say, I wrote in the mp directory:
Then, the tarball creates a '/usr' directory under '/tmp' directory, and it contains only a /local directory, which contains only a /gfortran directory.
The thing is, when I modify the name of this directory, for example, from /usr to /usr-modi, I found that the name of the directory /usr under the root directory is also changed from /usr to /usr-modi.
How can I delete this annoying /usr directory under /tmp, without tragically affect /usr under the root directory?
I am not sure which thread this fits in, I am facing a strange problem. There is a code tarball that I cross-compile on a Fedora Core 9 machine and it builds fine. But when I do the same thing on a (heavily used) Fedora Core 7 machine, the build keeps failing in the gnuapp folders grep, coreutils etc. I have tried 'make distclean', and clearing the config.cache but no impact.
Note: I export the PATH variable (to the local cross-compiler) before starting the build. The cross compilation is for the MIPS processor and GNU makefiles are used.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a fairly simple setup for my Network attached storage. I have a 1TB external hard drive connected to my Asus RT-N16 router through USB. I have enabled file sharing in the router, and thus the hard drive shows up on the network as a shared folder. No hassles, I can read and write to it.
Because I want to use this hard drive for networked backups, I tried to get it to mount on boot with fstab. Here is the line in my fstab file :
Code:
//192.168.1.1/SharedFolder /media/SharedFolder smbfs guest,_netdev 0 0
It mounts fine, no problems, and once again I'm able to read and write files to it. The problem occurs when I try to access the mounted drive and uncompress an archive file for the duplicity backup program. It gives me a list of messages showing that all the files inside the archive failed to uncompress because of error messages like these :
[Code]...
If I try to extract the same archive by manually going to Network > RT-N16 (Router) > Shared Folder, it extracts fine. But I need this folder to be mounted on boot because I use it very frequently. I tried changing smbfs to cifs and it still didn't work. Please not that my knowledge of samba, network storage and file systems is very basic. I tried searching the internet for more information about this but wasn't able to find much information that pertains to this particular problem. Hoping the linux pros here could give me some pointers ..

I have a large tarball which is bz2 compressed, and I would like to get a md5 sum of the files contained in it, as I have a separate directory on another server containing what I think are the same files. I want to check to see if the tarballs files are the same as the uncompressed files on the remote server. The files are big 10gb+ so I was wondering if there was a quick way without having to uncompress them all and then md5 them.
