Bzip2: (stdin) Is Not A Bzip2 File. Error

I've been trying to uncompress the file XpressConnect-x86.tar.bz2 using the tar command but I keep getting the following error.

Code:
richard@richard-K52Jr:~/Software$ tar -xvjf XpressConnect-x86.tar.bz2 
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I think it may be a problem with the file itself b/c it was provied by our wonderfully incompetent IT dep. I've also tried tar -xvf but that did not work either. I'll attach the file to this post if I can any help would be appreciated.

Stdout, Stderr And Redirection -- What Is The Correct Order Or Format ?

Hi all,

Been reading on stdin, stdout and stderr and encounter 2 questions, hope gurus here can advise.

0 = stdin
1 = stdout
2 = stderr

Code:
Sun Dec 21 03:53:42 SGT 2014 > cat test5.sh
#!/bin/bash

echo "Please enter value for name :"
read name
echo "Your name is $name."

echo "Next echo will be a syntax error"
ehco

Code:
Sun Dec 21 03:53:46 SGT 2014 > test5.sh 1> output.txt 2> error.txt
Noob

Sun Dec 21 03:54:56 SGT 2014 > cat output.txt
Please enter value for name :
Your name is Noob.
Next echo will be a syntax error

Sun Dec 21 03:55:23 SGT 2014 > cat error.txt
/home/alan/scripts/test5.sh: line 8: ehco: command not found
Sun Dec 21 03:55:26 SGT 2014 >

Which so far all is good and the correct way to output everything including error to a single file is

Code:
Sun Dec 21 03:59:14 SGT 2014 > test5.sh > output.txt 2>&1


Q1) How is a command being interpreted in linux , the sequence in which it is interpreted ? from left to right ? right to left ?

Shouldn't it be

Code:
test5.sh 2>&1 1>output.txt 
or 
test5.sh 2>&1>output.txt ?

Noob

Why Should I Always Use Chmod When Not As A Root User

System Info:

I have normal user in CentOS 7 whose name is "mostafa" (the name of the account).

I naturally have another user called root with all privileges. User "mostafa" is put into sudoers file, too.

The OS is installed in VmWare, so the system is all mine.

Problem:

Now I create a file with touch file.sh and put a command in it, but when I want to run it with Code:
sudo ./file.sh

, an error is shown that the command Code:
./file.sh

does not exist. But if I Code:
 sudo chmod 777 ./file.sh

then it gets run. My question is that, why should I use Code:
chmod 777

when I myself have created the file, and I am in sudoers.

Can anyone explain me why shuold I still use Code:
sudo chmod 777

when the creator of the file is me.

How To Use Static Libraries? Please Help Lol

https://code.google.com/p/wavelet1d/...ar.gz&can=2&q=

The above link is where I downloaded *.cpp(s) and the libraries.

If you "untar" the package, in "examples" directory, there are some demonstration files. What I wanted to do was to make an executable file out of "wavedemo1.cpp".

I modified the code in "wavedemo1.cpp"; Code:
#include "wavelet2d.h"

to Code:
#include "wavelet2s.h"

, then placed the header file "wavelet2s.h" (from /wavelib/src/linuxstatic) and the modified "wavedemo1.cpp" into my working directory.

Inside the working directory, I ran the following command

Code:
gcc -L/home/mario/wavelet/wavelib/linuxstatic -lwavelet2s wavedemo1.cpp -o wavedemo1

Then I get the following error messages.

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /home/mario/wavelet/wavelib/linuxstatic/libwavelet2s.a when searching for -lwavelet2s
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwavelet2s
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm not sure what went wrong with my approach. This is my first time trying to use libraries on linux and it's giving me really tough times.

I would appreciate your help, please let me know if you need more details to explain things.

Thanks.

Update Grub Command Not Working

I have made a change to GRUB2 bootloader in etc/default/grub.
Now I need to run 'update grub' for the change to take effect.
However, the 'update grub' command on the terminal is giving this error message:
Code:
root@debian:/# update grub
bash: update: command not found

Can someone please explain why this command is no longer working?

I've had to make a change to grub because I tried to install a new distro which meant I had to alter grub.
The install wasn't successful so I deleted the grub file and then re-installed it.
The re-installed grub needs a change so I can get sound on my pc.
However, I can't add these changes because the 'update grub' command doesn't work.

I've checked the grub file with another debian distro and they are both the same.
So now I don't know if I need to check if a different grub file is the problem or anything else.
Can someone help?

Mplayer Song Length Limit

(Raspberry Pi Model B)
I have a really long audio file I'd like to play.
It's 10 hours long (white noise)

However, when playing it with mplayer it only gets to 4 hours before determining it's now end of file.

Code:
A:14360.8 ( 3:59:20.8) of 36080.8 (10:01:20.7)  7.2


Exiting... (End of file)

I know the audio file isn't corrupted past this point since I can fast-forward to 3:59:00:0 and let it play and it works fine (at least for the 2m I let it play)

I could in theory break up the file into 3.5 chunks to stay below the limit but I'm wondering if this is a inherent limitation of mplayer (didn't expect 4hr+) or if it's a bug.
