Tilde in filenames leading to issues extracting tar.gz
So I'm a relatively new user, and I'm tasked with an extremely arbitrary and weird project of getting a Wind River client working on Hyper V, and I basically need to install some drivers on this little virtual terminal so it'll interface with Hyper V's virtual ethernet.
I got the drivers, and have them mounted via iso in my VM, however no command to extract them I'm doing is working out. This is what I'm trying: Code:
root@localhost:/mnt/cdrom# ls Code:
e1000e.3.1.0.2.tar.gz I'm thinking I might just be going about something incorrectly or misunderstanding the "~" so if anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it! Thanks |
You can rename that file if you want to, or use it as is. Try tar xzf e10*.gz or similar. I hope that helps

would be nice to show what have you tried exactly. And also what was the respons, error message, whatever....
How was that cd mounted (what will the mount command say?) |
You don't have a tar file. You most likely have a gzip file with a tar.gz file inside it. You can check with the file command. You need to run gunzip to unpack the file.
