LVLAaron Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'm following the instructions @ http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=10978.0 and executing the command "tar -C /usr/src -zxv linux-2.6.32.9.tar.gz" But nothing ever happens... it just sits there. What's going on here? Quote Link to comment
sakh1979 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Wait for couple of minutes, its uncompressing the tarball. Quote Link to comment
LVLAaron Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 I waited overnight. Did nothing. also please note the v command for verbose, it should have been showing something. I extracted it somewhere else and copied it to that machine. solved for now I guess. Quote Link to comment
sakh1979 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Or, alternatively you could have: created a directory first (via mkdir) changed to that directory (via cd) then tar -xzfv <file_name>.tar.gz That should have worked too, but I am glad it worked for you. Sagun Quote Link to comment
funbubba Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'm following the instructions @ http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=10978.0 and executing the command "tar -C /usr/src -zxv linux-2.6.32.9.tar.gz" Try this instead. tar -C /usr/src -zxvf linux-2.6.32.9.tar.gz (That's -zxvf instead of just -zxv) Alternatively, you could try using the script on post#5 of that thread instead. It made my installation much easier. Quote Link to comment
