do apt search lz4

It is installed, thanks. I just am stupid so I can t connect it to the Engrampa or to install 7zip destkop on Xubuntu. Omg 😀

if tar supports it then any archive manager installed will open it

cryptodanvr 2022-09-19 23:37:14

and by default your file manager should

cryptodanvr 2022-09-19 23:36:29

It is not compressed (archived), I need to do that, ok I will see yhis link throoughly.

cryptodanvr 2022-09-19 23:39:42

send me a link to a compressed lz4 file and ill see if I can open it in gnome file manager

David Emartisyan 2022-09-19 23:40:27

EDIT: Don t read, this is a mistake.
tar cvf – drive-download-20220918T190849Z-001.zip
tar: Refusing to write archive contents to terminal (missing -f option?)
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Oh, I don t have a compressed lz4 file, I need to do that. Thanks! 🙂 But, I dunno how to do that with GUI program like Engrampa File Manager or 7zip (because I am dumb enough so I am now searching how to install 7zip with GUI on Linux – Xubuntu)

cryptodanvr 2022-09-19 23:43:15

your file is allready compressed

cryptodanvr 2022-09-19 23:43:35

so your command wont work

cryptodanvr 2022-09-19 23:44:39

to create a new file with new contents for your compression you would need to decompress it then add more files then recompress using zip if you want a zip file

David Emartisyan 2022-09-19 23:47:19

cryptodanvr 2022-09-19 23:43:15

your file is allready compressed

Yes, my mistake was, I did a proper command sucessfully, but the size of the folder is the same. I am new to this, sorry for the chaos.
Yes, I ll do that right now. But still I need GUI tool to compress lz4. I will post a screenshot of the Engrampa Archive Manager – lz4 is not listed there although it is all installed in the terminal with that search command.

cryptodanvr 2022-09-19 23:48:33

You can use the commandline

cryptodanvr 2022-09-19 23:49:34

https://www.mankier.com/1/lz4

lz4 man page – General Commands | ManKier – Mankier
lz4 is an extremely fast lossless compression algorithm, based on byte-aligned LZ77 family of compression scheme.

cryptodanvr 2022-09-19 23:48:33

You can use the commandline

I know, but I don t want to, that s the issue. I want it enabled in any archiving/compressing/decompressing tool.

David Emartisyan 2022-09-19 23:51:45

Thanks… 🙂

David Emartisyan 2022-09-20 00:11:03

I know.:D

your dash is in the wrong place.

David Emartisyan 2022-09-20 00:40:47

Yes, you were right that lz4 should have been automatically added to a Engrampa Archive Manager – but it wasn t. The only thing automatically added was .7z and some .7z related stuff after I ve installed that.
It must be a bug.
I am now trying to see how to add that .lz4 to engrampa.

I need some help. I want to copy my system image, but can’t find where it’s located. Anybody know a simple terminal command to locate my system image?

David Emartisyan 2022-09-20 01:02:44

FartingTyrant 2022-09-20 00:40:01

Hey, yes, it was an error, I wrote it and edited it down there.
Regarding .lz4 it is the opposite of what I need actually. The speed is the best, but the compression is the worst. I need the best compression so it can all fit to my drive.
Engrampa – if anyone has it, go deinstall it. xD That stuff is weird, it even doesn t want to get updated so I am using some old old version. BTW, thanks @phractured_c

Did you create one with a drive backup tool?

cryptodanvr 2022-09-20 01:15:38

David Emartisyan 2022-09-20 01:02:44

How did you create your drive image?

No, right now I’m just trying to locate the file.

cryptodanvr 2022-09-20 01:17:18

Michael 2022-09-20 01:16:32

No, right now I’m just trying to locate the file.

Then you need to use clonezilla or dd to create it.

Michael 2022-09-20 01:17:34

OK. Thanx

cryptodanvr 2022-09-20 01:18:16

And if you want a full dusk image you’ll need to do a bit for bit copy.

Michael 2022-09-20 01:19:11

My problem is I need a command to find the path to the file.

mmmmmms0 2022-09-20 01:19:42

Just lost my ssd with my Linux dual boot

mmmmmms0 2022-09-20 01:19:44

Michael 2022-09-20 01:19:53

I’ve looked all day on stack overflow, etc. No help.

There is no path until you create the file

Michael 2022-09-20 01:21:02

Okk thanx. Well, where is the image then?

cryptodanvr 2022-09-20 01:21:12

You create it

cryptodanvr 2022-09-20 01:21:40

System Images don’t get created automagically
