Problem with tar.gz file
Hi !
I use RH 8. I am logged as root and I try to open a file linux-2.4.18-ow0.tar.gz I tried the comnnad: tar -zxvf linux-2.4.18-ow0.tar.gz and I recive the following error: gzip:stdin:unexpected end of file tar:child returned status 1 tar:error exit delayed from previos errors. whats going on? thanks |
I'm not sure, but maybe is that archive damaged
|
Try using:
file linux-2.4.18-ow0.tar.gz The file command should then tell you what sort of file it is. If it doesn't say it is gzipped, it could be bzipped instead, or even just a tar file - or just corrupt. Either way, file should be able to tell you :) |
try the command without the "-"
i.e: tar zxvf linux-2.4.18-ow0.tar.gz i dont use the "-" and i got no probs |
i use xvzf all the time.
does it really matter what order you put those commands? (edit: xvzf without a dash) |
