View 3 Replieshow to install a bzip2 file
View 3 RepliesI 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?)
I have a problem to install bzip2, when I put make install something like this appear:
This is the first time that I install something after I install Ubuntu 9.04.
I have used this guide to install kernel in my linux cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-26.html stage 1 worked perfectly. Now at stage 2 when I write the command dir/ls in the tmp directory I see the file: linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2 (2.6.26 is the version of my kernel) And now if I try to the tar function on my file and write it like this: Code: tar -xjvf linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2 -C /usr/src it gives me couple of errors like:
tar: bzip2: can not exec: no such directory
tar: error is unrecoverable: exiting now
tar: child returned status 2
tar: error exit delayed from previus errors
I made a bzip2 file by
bzip2 -c /home/os/picture1 > /home/os/Desktop/pic.image
bzip2 -c /home/os/picture2 >> /home/os/Desktop/pic.image
But now extracting pic.image by bzip2 -d /home/os/Desktop/pic.image returns
bzip2: Can't guess original name for pic.image -- using pic.image.out
And then it just creates one file pic.image.out.
How do I access picture1 and picture2 from pic.image?
I am looking to use DD to compress an entire disk (sda) to an image file on sdb. A friend told me to mount sdb / partition 1, then as root, type the following command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda | bzip2 -9 >/media/sdb1/disk_image.img.bz2
This did not work. I just get an error message:
Code:
Invalid command line: Not enough files given. Aborting...
I was also told to restore (assuming sda has the image & sdb is the destination), I could do the following:
Code:
bzip2 -cd /media/sda1/disk_image.img.bz2 | dd of=/dev/sdb
Of course, since the first part didnt work, I couldnt test the second. How to use DD to byte for byte image the entire drive & compress it (its mostly empty space).
I am using suse for a long time but I did not yet experience this strange error:
I installed 11.2 and now 11.3RC1 on a new HW: ASUS M4N72-E with AMD Phenom2 X4 965, 8GB Memory, standard settings.
I experienced unusual errors when copying large files to the new system with scp/ssh (connection broken).
Even stranger I could not read .tgz files created on the older machine, same OS 11.2, but MB ASUS M2N32-SLI with AMD Phenom X4 9850
Testing further reveals that if I create a .gz file from the same source it produces every time a different output:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1326141906 Jun 21 01:55 wwtest1.tar.gz

[Code].....
I never saw something like it, I guess it must be something with the underlying library not working on the new processor. I tried with slower memory speed, newest BIOS etc ...always the same errors. Other wise the system works absolutely stable.
When I compare the generated files with one created on the older system it looks like there are single bits missing in a random number of bites.
I have a backup script basically is this
Code:
BACKUP_DIRS="/etc /boot /root /home"
BACKUP_FOLDER="/tmp/system_backup/
for DIR in ${BACKUP_DIRS}
do
[code]....
All the folders get dumped into seperate gzip files. Now I want all the gzip files in the backup folder into one final gzip or bzip2 file. My goal for this is to get one file instead of multiple so I can scp or ftp the one file to another file share. Which would be easier to send one file than a bunch of files.
I am trying to use a shared bzip2 library in a program I'm writing. For the life of me I can't figure out the correct gcc switch to link it in. I've tried pkg-config, but i don't know the name of the .pc file. Is there any rule for these things?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI sometimes get confused by the varying command line options I need to run common Unix archiving and compression software (e.g. gzip, bzip2, zip, tar).
Is there a program out there that can just Do What I Mean for common cases? For example:
Lately when I've tried to update my packages many of them don't update. I get nothing out of the ordinary when using the terminal but when I try to update via the Update manger I get this error message:

I've tried several different mirrors but get the same error with every one. Same result with ftp as well. Yesterday I upgraded to Wheezy and every package successfully upgraded, but today the problem started again.
I downloaded three iso-images, 1 dvd-image and 2 cd-images:
openSUSE-11.3-DVD-i586.iso
openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso
openSUSE-11.3-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso
Being paranoid, I created iso-files from the burnt DVD-R and the two burnt CD-R to verify integrity.
The iso-file of the DVD-R was identical to the downloaded image. Both iso-files created from the CD-R were different in size.
The original size of openSUSE-11.3-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso is 719.323.136 Bytes.
I only got 718.938.112 Bytes when recreating an ISO-file from my CD-R.
The CD-R is from Sony. When the length of my ISO-file doesn't correspond to the downloaded one, the checksum file verification doesn't work.
I'm only just starting out with the Linux ubunto 10.04 OS after yeas of wasted time on Microsoft os's,I hope I'm posting this request for help in the right forum thread, if not please accept my apologies, I have tried searching everywhere for help in installing a firmware file into the File System / lib / firmware directory and each time I get an access denied result. The file is for a DVB board and I have managed to track down the right Linux fw file for this particular piece of equipment, Could some kind helpful person either explain how to get this firmware file into the Root System directory or even send a link to another site that deals with this sort of problemI've downloaded all the programs via the Ubuntu Software Center that should be able to perform this task however all to no avail.The reason why I posted this thread in this forum board is that it (in my own personal opinion which may be wrong) seems to me to be a security problem

Asked this on Jul 21, and didn't get any satisfactory answers. Thought i'd ask again before i switch to Ubuntu or go back to Fedora: Has anyone gone to software.opensuse.org: Download openSUSE 11.3 and actually chosen "Installation Medium" as "4.7G DVD", "Direct Link", "32 bit PC", hit the "Download DVD" button and gotten the file "openSUSE-11.3-DVD-i586.iso" which is not 49.0MB?
I mean, the steps above are not rocket science, and not much chance of making mistakes, so i'm not sure how i can get a download popup which specifies that the file is 49.0MB file, if it's not actually that size?

(including the login screen user/password asking) And i am sorry for my grammar errors, i hope you can still understand what i have tried to say.
I have an apparently stable installation of Xubuntu that I've hand-tweaked in a few ways. I'd like to be able to reinstall this system verbatim on this machine should a disk crash happen, etc.Is there a "standard" method to create an install and/or total-backup CD that would be an instantiation of the currently-installed-and-modified system?

Have just assembled a new computer and thought I would install the 64 bit version of openSUSE 11.2 in a "Windows free zone". After a hiccup or two I have managed to get a system of sorts running but on trying to copy files from my old computer(via a memory stick) it tells me that Vfat is an unknown file system.On my old computer I am running 32 bit openSUSE 11.2 as a dual boot system with Windows XP and have no problems moving files between the two different file systems.Is it possible to get a 64 bit file system to read 32 bit file system drives and if so how do I do it?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHow do i Install a tar.gz file?
Now i know a tar.gz file is like a zip file in windows but when i extracted it theres a folder with a few files in it including some instructions on how to install the program but to be honest i'm useless when it comes to using terminal and i dont know how to get the "install file running".
The instructions read :
Provided your GNU/Linux distribution doesn't include logkeys package in its repositories, manual installation of logkeys from source is as easy as:
$ tar xvzf logkeys-0.1.0.tar.gz # to extract the logkeys archive
$ cd logkeys-0.1.0/build # move to build directory to build there
$ ../configure # invoke configure from parent directory
$ make # make compiles what it needs to compile
[Code]...
The input event device we are referring to, here, is the kernel event interface
echoing keyboard events. If using either of these two --enable-evdev* switches, make sure you provided correct PATH/DEV.
A copy of these instructions is in the accompanying INSTALL file.
