Unable to unarchive Mplayer tarball
Hello, I downloaded Mplayer tarball. I am not able to unarchive it. The error is:
Code:
bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing. |
pls show link to exact file you have downloaded.
if you can not....try this depending on extension tar jxvf file.bz2 tar zxvf file.tar.gz tar xvf file.tar |
Thanks for the reply. The link to the package is MPlayer. I used both the command-line and the GUI utility, but the error was the same :( I was able to extract it on my friend's PC.

... discusses this. How did you get the tarball to your friend's PC? |
USB stick. Why?

Oh OK - if you had done a separate download for your friend's machine... well, that leaves the possibility there is something wrong with your bzip/tar utility, or something wrong with your file system.
You'll want to try reinstalling the fileroller, say, and run a filesystem check. Meanwhile - your workaround would be to sneakernet the extracted files back to your PC. |
Thanks. I shall consider re-installing the tar utility. I will post the problems if I get errors even after re-installing.
