I'm trying to extract r8101-1.023.00.tar.bz2 file, it's a driver(Linux driver for kernel 3.x and 2.6.x and 2.4.x) from [Realtek.com][realtek]. The fact is I get an error message:

error to open the file

.../r8101-1.023.00/src/rtltool.h": permission denied".

Any ideas?

Try elevating your privileges by either entering root through the command line. You can press Ctrl + Alt + T to launch the terminal.

su -
<root password>

tar -zxvf {file.tar.gz}

Or use sudo

sudo tar -zxvf {file.tar.gz}

Where {file.tar.gz} is the path to your file

Save the r8101-1.023.00.tar.bz2 to your home folder, open the terminal Ctrl+Alt+T and copy and paste this command:

tar -xjvf r8101-1.023.00.tar.bz2

The graphical Archive Manager gave me the same permission error, but this worked for me even without sudo.

  • I get this tar (child): r8101-1.023.00.tar.bz2: No se puede [it can't] open: [file or directory does not exist] No existe el archivo o el directorio tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now – ntrpris Feb 24 '13 at 20:10
  • @user134910 Did you save the file to your home (/home/YOURUSERNAME) folder? Either way, your terminal is not opened in same folder where the file is and thus the command will not find the file. Ctrl+Alt+T by default opens the terminal in the home folder. :) – pileofrocks Feb 24 '13 at 20:20
  • inicially I downloaded to Downloads folder but I changed to home folder since I saw your answer. I did what you say in the previous comment and I get the same message @pileofrocks – ntrpris Feb 24 '13 at 20:30
  • OK do it (I downloaded again in home folder)! But I don't how follow... @pileofrocks – ntrpris Feb 24 '13 at 20:43
  • @ntrpris Just open the terminal and try to command again then. If you write ls in the terminal, do you see the file listed? – pileofrocks Feb 24 '13 at 20:57

  • before I didn't get these errors but I typed something wrong because I don't how use the terminal trying to advance and since then I get these errors. I downloaded the file again due to the errors but still I get them. forgive the mess, i edit my question so you can see clearer @pileofrocks – ntrpris Feb 24 '13 at 21:33
  • @ntrpris Any difference if you add sudo before the command? (Complete command being sudo tar -xjvf r8101-1.023.00.tar.bz2) – pileofrocks Feb 24 '13 at 21:35
  • oh yes i'm sorry @pileofrocks , and when i write ls in the terminal i get r8101-1.023.00.tar.bz2 written in red – ntrpris Feb 24 '13 at 21:38
  • at this point point i think i'm going crazy, before i think i didn't get anything with sudo... XD but now i get the message written before, without the errors! @pileofrocks – ntrpris Feb 24 '13 at 21:47

I imagine this is quite late for the OP, but maybe this will help someone else.

I downloaded the exact same file and got the exact same errors, and, being time-pressed, for the life of me I too couldn't manage to uncompress it either via command line or graphical interface.

So I took a very inelegant approach. I started Nautilus (which is the name of Graphical File Manager) as root, and this way I was finally able to uncompress this file, without any warnings.

gksudo nautilus

A new window with root privileges will open, use it to navigate to where the file is and uncompress it.
