Hi all,
I'll forewarn you I'm quite new to Linux and have read some MAN pages and scanned the forums before posting. :) I have used TS before but on a windows system, but as I'm setting up my Linux box specifically to do a new task or two I thought I may as well throw on TS too ! :D
I was following the Getting Started guide for Linux but hit a stumbling block early on. I cannot extract the bz2 file, I get numerous errors (pasted below) and it fails. I tried adding a new user specifically for TS and have also tried doing it as root in case that was causing the problem. This is the first .bz2 file I have come across and tried to extract. Below I have copied and pasted the command I used and the results.
JCHome-Nagios:~/downloads# tar -xjvf ts2_server_rc2_202319.tar.bz2
tar: bzip2: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
I read that as it "can't find the file" ? but my Linux knowledge is very limited and hopefully I need shooting and it is something silly that I'm doing or not doing as the case maybe.
Can any help and shed some light on this for me.
Many thanks.
Jim
Sorry forgot to mention I'm using Debian 4.0 RC3
