An error occurred while adding files to the archive.No such file or directory
I want the folder and its content to be compressed to a .ZIP file which is natively accessible by Windows.
How can I use 7zip/7zip CLI on an Ubuntu livecd?I would like to have the extra functions of the 7zip CLI since there are barely any options in the default Ubuntu archive manager. Some options I would like to have include setting the compression level.Would one solution be to run 7zip from an external drive?

I have just given Linux a try for the first time and so far its not proving to be a good experience. I have so far just tried to install a couple of basic programs I am familiar with and ones suggested by Lifehacker.I wanted to install Tweetdeck, which meant installing Adobe Air. I duly downloaded Adobe Air but it then says I need to choose an application to open it. Assuming that the bin file was a zip file I looked in the software centre and found 7zip. Told it to load that but then couldn't find where it was. Its not listed in the Applications drop down (top right) so I found 'search for a file' and entered *7zip* to be shown 5 files. All but one appear to be a form of image file the other (7zip.desktop) isn't an exe either. Double clicking on it just gets me the following in something called gedit.
Name=7zip
Comment=7zip compression/uncompression tool
Terminal=false
Type=Application
[code].....
I then gave up and used google to find the program and download it, but just came across the same problem. Why oh why is there not some default program already loaded for unzipping files? How can I find 7Zip (I have already looked in the bin folder on the system drive but nothing there) and run it to tell it to make itself the default for unzipping files?
Krusader (v1.90.0 in Gnome) is awfully slow when entering .7z archive; how to solve it?
View 7 Replies View RelatedIts much better to use the good archiver such as rar, 7zip on uncompressed files (and not after crappy zip for eg. ).People often compress .iso files and similar that contain .cab archives.So, compression ratio would be much better if those .cab files were first uncompressed and then rar-ed/7zip-ed.I know it would be difficult, and dearchiver would need to re-compress to make .cab again (so it would have to include M$ algorithm and unpacking would take a lot of time) but its possible?
View 3 Replies View Relatedi'm curently compressing a big 100GB file with 7zip on a system with an intel 2,66Ghz quadcore processor. Allthough 7zip uses 4 cores to compress the file, it still uses only about 40% of the cpu performance. The cpu isn't doing anything else, nothing heavy anyway.
I started compressing 8 hours ago and the compression is currently 47% done. Reading and writing the files isn't very fast so my harddrive isn't slowing the process down.
So what's the holdup? There is still 53% of work to be done. Is it for some reason impossible to do this faster?

it's my first day of trying to figure out Linux, and I now understand why it's been largely used by the geek community.I've tried to install both xcdroast and 7zip using the console and failed miserably both times.7zip doesn't have a ./configure and xcdroast just gives me errors that I don't understandI think I need a package manager?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just read in my Linux+ resources that it is not a wise idea to compress tar files with gzip if my tape drive supports compression. In addition, the resources mention that using gzip for tar files runs the risk of data lost if an error occurs with the compression.
Does anyone compress tar files for major backups/restore policies?
When I right click on a file and click "compress" I get a .zip file that is exactly the same size as the original file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to package my application for linux, I use zip/tar.gz/7z/rar to do the compress in Windows.Because I do the compress in Windows, so when I extract the package in Linux, the file permission is reset.The problem is Only the tar.gz can let me extract runable files, other format (zip/7z/rar) not (the file permission is reset to 644).So my question is how to compress my files using zip/7z/rar while reset the permission to 755.

I have a few '.flv's now and most are small enough to upload to my Joomla web site and play with AllVideos (extension) but a few are over the 10M limit, I have one that is actually 50M! Is there something I can use to either splice the videos (make 2 or 3 out of one, upload seperately) or to compress down to 10M- w/o wrecking the quality?
