What to do now?

Gins · 08-29-2005, 03:11 PM

I downloaded a file from the following website.
http://nvu.com/index.html
It is for creating web pages. The following is the name of the file.

nvu-1.0-pc-mandriva10.1-gnu.tar.bz2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the end of the process of downloading, I noticed a lot of files in Ark.

It seems the downloaded ' nvu-1.0-pc-mandriva10.1-gnu.tar.bz2 ' file has automatically
expanded. Is this possible? How can I proceed now?

Try doing Start->Run->nvu or typing nvu in a console. First use 'cd' to get into the Nvu directory.

Thanks Xavier
It didn't work. Please read the following:

[root@c83-250-91-34 nvu-1.0]# start
bash: start: command not found
[root@c83-250-91-34 nvu-1.0]# run
bash: run: command not found
[root@c83-250-91-34 nvu-1.0]# nvu
bash: nvu: command not found
[root@c83-250-91-34 nvu-1.0]#

[root@c83-250-91-34 nvu-1.0]# nvu
bash: nvu: command not found
[root@c83-250-91-34 nvu-1.0]

What is the problem?

hi there,
weird..
let's return.. in which directory did you download the file? do you still have the zip file or only ark ones?

slackie1000 · 08-29-2005, 04:14 PM

hi there,
i checked the file...
download the file and don't extract anything..
open a terminal..
then..

Code:

cd $wherever_the_file_is
tar xjf nvu-1.0-pc-mandriva10.1-gnu.tar.bz2
cd nvu*
./nvu

and works fine..

slackie
Thanks for the reply. It didn't work for me.

What is the problem?

One of the reason is that it is not there. I have already extracted it. I am clueless. What shall I do now?

slackie1000 · 08-29-2005, 04:27 PM

hi there,
it is late here...
my mistake..
didn't see the format of your find...
you need to go here

Code:

cd $HOME/tmp

the file is in the "tmp" from the user not in the generic one..
sorry..

Thanks slackie. It is still fishy.

[root@c83-250-91-34 tmp]# cd $HOME/tmp
[root@c83-250-91-34 tmp]# 'tar xjf nvu-1.0-pc-mandriva10.1-gnu.tar.bz2'
bash: tar xjf nvu-1.0-pc-mandriva10.1-gnu.tar.bz2: command not found

tar (child): nvu-1.0-pc-mandriva10.1-gnu.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory

tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[root@c83-250-91-34 tmp]#

What is the problem?

slackie1000 · 08-29-2005, 04:33 PM

hi there,
nope.. the user that made the download... could be "ka" ??
look here

Code:

[ka@c83-250-91-34 ka]$ find ./ -name "nvu*"
./tmp/nvu-1.0-pc-mandriva10.1-gnu.tar.bz2
./tmp/nvu-1.0-pc-mandriva10.1-gnu.tar-1.bz2
./nvutut-0.3b.xpi
./nvutut-1.3b.xpi
[ka@c83-250-91-34 ka]$

from where you called that? go there, follow my procedure...
regards,
slackie1000

Gins · 08-29-2005, 04:35 PM

I tried again.

[root@c83-250-91-34 ka]# cd $HOME/tmp

[root@c83-250-91-34 tmp]#

slackie1000 · 08-29-2005, 04:38 PM

hi there,
slowly now...
you don't need root access for that..
and forget the $HOME ...
go there - where you called the "find" command and do that..

Code:

cd tmp
tar xjf nvu-1.0-pc-mandriva10.1-gnu.tar.bz2
cd nvu-1.0
./nvu
