I formatted a partition on a USB stick in ext2 format for Linux with GParted. I tried to extract a file onto the partition and received a error that said I did not have the permissions to do it.
View 4 RepliesAround six months ago (last time I reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10), on a whim I decided to check that option to "encrypt [my] home directory". I wanted to see what it was like. Mistake. Since then, I've been unable to figure out how to access the data in my home directory using any method besides booting the computer (usb drive, rip-out-and-stick-it-in-an-enclosure, etc.). Specifically, I find that shell script sitting there that tells you to run it in order to see your files, but it gives some kind of error. I also still have the code Ubuntu tells you to write down in order to decrypt your files.
Fast forward to this past week. I brought in the laptop to Best Buy for repairs to the hinge (the hinge! Ace Hardware could fix this problem! But I wanted to make full use of the service plan.), and I got a phone call a few days later, saying that it hit Best Buy's "No Lemon" policy. They were going to keep my computer and give me in-store credit toward a new one. Of course, I refused to pay ~$70 for them to back up my data for me; what could possibly happen to it when they were fixing a hardware problem?
Anyways, I pleaded with them for my hard drive back, and they said that they could ship the hard drive back to the store so I could get my data off of it. I'm planning on going in there with my external backup hard drive and an external enclosure and doing it myself at the counter (If they charge $70 to back up a Windows partition, how much more will they charge for an encrypted Linux one?). I don't want to embarrass myself by standing around and not being able to get into my own data.
When ever I extract a file from a .tar or whatever, it isn't detected. I notice this mainly when i'm using xampp. I copy zip up all my files on one computer, load ubuntu on another, extract the files to the web folder (htdocs) and then I get nothing. However, when I manually create the files directly on my computer as opposed to extracting them, they appear.
Is there something I need to do in order to have these files appear? Is there some sort of file system refresh? Or am I being a complete idiot?
This is what I tried to do:>cd ~/Desktop >sudo sh ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run --extract.After entering my password, this appeared: >sh: Can't open ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run.What am I doing wrong? It apparently worked in this thread.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu for the second time, first time was like 2 years ago and my pc was an oddball and some stuff was just not supported properly. Anyways.. I've got the latest build of Ubuntu installed, everything is working fine, just one problem.
I have many, many, many files that are archived in multiple .rar's. Like .r01, .r02, etc... I have them all copied over to the harddrive, but cannot extract what is in them. Also, I have some of these .rar's archived in a single .rar because of windows being stupid and not letting me copy them to my external drive as the names of them were too long for windows to handle. Those .rar's will extract a couple of the .r01, etc.. files, but not all of them.
I can't seem to extract it with any archiver, and when I used unrar from the console, I get this:shai@shai-desktop:~/Desktop$ unrar c1700-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T8.rarunrar 0.0.1 Copyright (C) 2004 Ben Asselstine, Jeroen DekkersExtracting from /home/shai/Desktop/c1700-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T8.rarExtracting c1700-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T8.image Failed 1 FailedYou can see that it can open the archive but it can't get the file inside.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed unrar-free, and I am trying to extract a file from a .rar archive (actually the file is split into several archives).
When I choose one of the .rar files and open it with Archive Manager, there are no errors and the file to be extracted shows in the Archive Manager window. I then choose to extract it, and after that I click on "show files". But when the folder supposedly containing the extracted file opens, the file isn't there.
Maybe relevant info:
I am running latest stable version of Ubuntu, as the user that was created during the Ubuntu installation. The files are in my "Downloads" folder, and the Archive Manager window says that the .rar file is read-only.
I've got a large .tar.gz file that I am trying to extract, I have had a look around at the problem and seems other people have had it, but I've tried their solutions and they haven't worked.The command I am using is:

and the error is:

OK, So I'm trying to make a SFX file that will extract it's files your home folder, But I can't seem to figure out how.
First you have to make an archive,
Code:
rar a Zipper.zip txt.txt
Then you have to make the sfx.
Code:
rar s Zipper.zip
But they still get extracted wherever the sfx volume is.

I take that back: I can use the Unetbootin binary. However, the binary needs 7-zip to run - and 7-zip is very crippled in Linux.
Is there any extraction utility that I can use along with SYSLINUX for Linpus Linux Lite that I can use to extract the Ubuntu .ISO file?
Edit: I got Unetbootin to work. but I had to run "sudo yum install p7zip" first.

Im trying to extract the contents of a zip file but I want to extract it to my own directory. I'v tried -d from unzip but that just puts the contents of the zip into that directory.
But I want to extract the contents of the first (root) directory in the zip if there is only one directory in the root of the zip else just extract the files/folders in the root of the zip file (if there are more then one files).
e.g. test.zip contents the following dir structure:
test.zip
/app_v1/ <-The contents of this directory I want extracted to a dir of my choice
- folder-1
- folder-2
- folder-3
- folder-4
