Thread: Extracting ddrescue.tar.gz


i have downloaded ddrescue-1.16.tar.gz , trying extract 'downloads directory /media/data/downloads/ddrescue-unzipped.

have ownership of folder , full user rights both locations , using either sudo or gksu

e.g. gksu tar xzvf ddrescue-1.16.tar.gz /ddrescue-unzipped

sure there nothing wrong paths have been able change directory them both.

latest result:
roy@roy-desktop:~$ cd /media/data/downloads
roy@roy-desktop:/media/data/downloads$ gksu tar xzvf ddrescue-1.16.tar.gz /ddrescue-unzippedtar: exiting failure status due previous errors
roy@roy-desktop:/media/data/downloads$ sudo tar xzvf ddrescue-1.16.tar.gz ddrescue-unzipped
tar: ddrescue-unzipped: not found in archive
tar: exiting failure status due previous errors

please can help. have been on over 4 hours. many

first in command line, should using sudo, , not gksu.

try running tar command, without specifying output directory. think that's what's screwing up:

code:
sudo tar xzvf ddrescue-1.16.tar.gz
that should give new folder, 'ddrescue-1.16/', can change 'mv' command if like.
