Second, the archive: See to it that the archive is in good order (healthy) for tar to decompress or extract it. If the archive is bad, tar will refuse. Third, see to it that in issuing 'tar' there is an archive in that folder/location for tar to extract. Hope this helps. Good luck. |
hi guys,
thnx a lot for your replies. sorry for not giving more info on my command i have a file named "file.tar" each time i run the command: #tar -xvf file.tar or #tar -xzvf file.tar or #tar -xjvf file.tar i get these errors: tar: Child returned status 1 (or status 2) tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors what does that mean? thnx again for helping |

Status 2 refers to a fatal, unrecoverable error. As a matter of interest, can you extract a filelist with Code:
tar -tf file.tar Code:
tar -tzf file.tar Code:
file file.tar |
if gnome is installed what error dose "file-roller" give ?
