wickedathletes Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I posted this in the Crashplan thread, but I don't think this is related to CrashPlan plugin specifically so I figured I would ask in general: Probably me being dumb, but I am having trouble running the CrashPlan tar extraction: root@Hades:/boot/packages# tar -zxfv CrashPlan_3.2.1_Linux.tgz tar (child): v: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now The file is there and the file name is correct? Do I have to do this from Console or can I be doing it from Putty like I am trying? Link to comment
wickedathletes Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 I am going to give this a try and see if it fixes it: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red-hat-fedora-linux/159101-tar-v-cannot-open-no-such-file-directory.html#post756119 Apparently the argument is in the wrong order... f needs to be the last argument passed tar -zxvf CrashPlan_3.2.1_Linux.tgz If its fixed when I can test it I will mark as solved.

WeeboTech Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It's a common error. In fact I had to help someone with this last week. Same problem. Link to comment
eknee1417 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I can get past that step but not anything after that. When I try to un-tar the file I get this...

eknee1417 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Solved it! In case you run into this issue add the following commands to the end: --owner root --group root --no-same-owner Not sure what the do exactly but it works. Link to comment
