Ubuntu :: No ISO In Compressed DL Folder?
Mar 12, 2010I am trying to create an Ubuntu install disk from a downloaded ISO. Evrey time I have tried (3 or 4 times now) to DL the iso I get a compressed folder with a zillion files (including WUBI installer). However there is no actual iso in the compressed folder any where. I have tried DL'n it from the direct link as a windows handled DL and I have DL'd it using BitTorrent.
I am trying to DL and burn the iso on a Window$ XP box. Could my problem be that my browser is auto detected and I get the wubi install DL? Is WinRar messing with me? Am I just lame and even though when I launch 'Infra Recorder' and it can't see any ISO's anywhere in the decompressed Ubuntu, install/iso download, there is a magic manner in which you burn the image that I just don't get?
I just want to install Ubuntu on an older box and play with it. Then I am thinking I might like to reformat my laptop and make it dual boot with ubuntu as default load. But I can't even seem to figure out how to burn an install disk ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Linuxdc++ Deleted All Files From The Downloads Folder
Sep 1, 2011There is some issue with the latest version of LinuxDC++ (version: 1.2.0~pre1~bzr Core version: 0.75). I have upgraded to the latest version a few days back from launchpad repos due to the frequent crashes and system hang-ups. My complete and incomplete downloads folder are same. While my download was going on, LinuxDC++ deleted all the files from the downloads folder.
After about half an hour of tweaking, I updated my database using updatedb, and found my files in ~/.dc++/Filelists/anantwqqwe.BMIU2NFCFXB7ERTSG62PRSQPRJIN63A56EEGO6Q . What does that supposed to mean and why its doing this way? This is the second time this has happened to me, the last time I was unable to locate the deleted files on my system and I suppose they were not there. I use 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10(maverick).

Jun 1, 2010So I recently installed Lubuntu on my netbook and I have it all working except for one hitch - when I download something in Chromium (such as a .deb or a .odt file) when I click on the finished download in the bar at the bottom of Chromium it does not open the file in gdebi/abiword as it should. Also when I right click on a file and select "show in folder" it does not work...
Not sure if this is an issue with Chromium or LXDE/PCMan but I figured it couldn't hurt to post here asking about it.

Ubuntu :: Bzip2 Compressed File Too Large
Feb 26, 2010I 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?)
Ubuntu :: How To Extract Split Compressed Files
Jun 24, 2010im trying to reconstruct / extract a file that was too large to fit onto a floppy, used 7zip to create and split the file into multiple parts in tar.bzip format. this was done in windows. Then moved all the parts of the file to tiny linux on a really old laptop. no cd drive, no usb or network. so have to rely on floppy drive. i do know that reconstruction while extracting using commands is possible. but not working.tried tar -xMf file.tar.001 but nothing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Generate Compressed Files In Zip Format ?
Oct 30, 2010I was trying to figure out how to generate compressed files in zip format and searched on here. The search produced a list of forum entries on the topic, but all of the instructions were on how to do it in terminal, how to download obscure programs and install them from terminal, then run them from terminal, with all these arcane sets of switches and parameters. Eesh.
It comes with Ubuntu, after all. In the case of zipping files, all you have to do is to go to the File Manager, find the file(s), select it or them, right-click on it or them, and select Compress and file type zip. It's so simple.
There have been a number of other tasks where I wind up spending hours figuring out how to implement the advice offered in these forums through Terminal. The folks who offer the advice often are so good at it that they leave out steps obvious to them, but that take a lot of work for somebody not as skilled at it to find out. After crawling through broken glass to get the job done, and normally screwing something up so it's not quite right once I get it going, I figure out how to do it through the GUI and find out it takes a fraction of the effort.

May 10, 2010I have problem to mount a compressed (ISZ) image under Linux, which was created by e.g. UltraISO? I am aware about user-space fuseiso, but it fails to mount these images, as I have reported in Debian bugtracker (correct me if I ddi something wrong). I ask the community for a help: I need a proved solution to mount these images without decompressing them.I believe that CONFIG_ZISOFS kernel option cannot help, as it refers a special RockRidge extension (per-file compression with mkisofs -z or mkzftree).

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu / Apple :: Backing Up Compressed File To An External Hardrive?
Apr 21, 2010I am attempting to be careful in case my system crashes, and although highly unlikely my first question is if there is a way to first compress my Linux Partitions. After running the diskutil command in OSX's Terminal, I basically end up with this poartition scheme:
Quote:
Macintosh HD = 130GB
disk0s3 = 1MB
disk0s4 = 30GB
Linux Swap = 1.3 GB
I am sure there is a way in the Terminal to first compress disk0s3, disk0s4, and Linux Swap, and then output the compressed partitions into my external Harddrive. I have already read some of the suggestions that only /HOME, /etc/fstab/, list of installed packages, /opt, and /var/cache/apt/archives/-where all installed packages are stored, is what I should backup. But, please correct me if I'm wrong. Wouldn't it take quite a while to install all those packages again in case of a system failure. Or would it just be easier to untar all of them in their directories once Linux has been reinstalled. The closest command I have found so far in being able to achieve this is:
Quote:
sudo tar cvf - files | (cd target_directory ; tar xpf -) The above code is very suitable for what I am looking for because it enables you to copy files into another location by using the tar command where you would create In my case the new location would be my external harddrive. My external harddrive already has its own Linux partition which I am able to mount in Linux and that Linux sees as free space.

View 3 Replies View RelatedRed Hat / Fedora :: Backup Program - Cannot Be Zipped Or Compressed
Apr 16, 2010What i am trying to acheive with my minimal knowledge is to set up a linux system that will backup windows based computers to a couple of terabyte hard drives installed in this system. The backups cannot be zipped or compressed in anyway as the backups have to be able to be di-sected and only parts of them restored to their respective computers. Backing up over a network would be a great bonus but not necessary. Does anyone know a program that would fulfil my needs whilst still being simple so i can install and configure it?
