<p><strong>Resolution</strong></p>
<p>Oh well. It looks like it's perhaps a bug? or I don't know.
I simply installed 32-bit version of Ubuntu in VirtualBox and converted package there. For some reason I couldn't convert 32-bit package in 64 OS. and that is that.</p>
<p>If someone ever finds the reason ffor this behavior - plz. post somewhere in comments.</p>
<p>Thanks </p>

I exactly followed the steps in this page: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP" rel="nofollow">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP</a></p>
<p>yet I did not succeed; I keep getting <strong>error 403</strong>, which says that the server doesn't have permission to access the requested page. I searched forums and many suggested changing the permission of the folder. I went straight away and set the permission to <code>777</code>, but that didn't solve the problem.</p>
<p>I made another search and somebody gave me a clue, which is that it could be because my home folder is encrypted. I believe this could be the problem, but:</p>
<p>What is the relation between encryption and Apache? I suppose Apache server is requesting the file from the system, rather than trying to access the file bytes!</p>
<p>Is there anyway to solve this problem? I don't want to move the folder to <code>/var/www</code> because I am using this Apache for testing, so I want whatever change I make to be immediately reflected, rather than having to copy files which is error prone.</p>

25038 | 1 | 25040 | 2011-02-06T16:07:56.210 | 2 | 1643 | <p>I am using Ubuntu 9.10 on a stationary PC. I have a secondary 1 TB harddrive with a single big logical partition (currently formatted as ext4). It is mounted as /usr3 with options <em>user, exec</em> in /etc/fstab.</p>
<p>I am doing highspeed imaging experiments. Well, only 260fps, but that still creates many individual files since each frames is saved as one png-file. The stationary is not used by anyone other than me which is why the default security model posed by ubuntu is not necessary.</p>
<p>What is the best way to make the entire contents of /usr3 generally available on all systems. In case I need to move the harddrive to another Ubuntu 9.x or 10.x machine? </p>
<p>When grabbing image with the firewire camera I use a selfmade grabbing software-utility (console based) in sudo-mode. This creates all files with root as owner and group.</p>
<p>I am logged in as user <em>otb</em> and usually I do the following when having to make files generally available to otb:</p>
<pre>
sudo chown otb -R *
sudo chgrp otb -R *
sudo chmod a=rwx -R *
</pre>
<p>This takes some time since the disk now contains individual ~200000 files.</p>
<p>After this, how would linux behave if I moved the harddrive to another system where the user <em>otb</em> is also available? Would the files still be accessible without sudo use?</p>

For normal users they start from 1001 onwards.</p>\n\n<p>Easiest way to ensure same permissions: In the file <code>/etc/passwd</code>, for any user entry, UID & GID is the third and fourth field respectively. On second system you can create a user with command from a terminal using <code>useradd -u UID -g GID username</code> where the UID and GID are the same UID and GID of the user <code>otb</code> in first system.

25041 | 1 | 27809 | 2011-02-06T16:48:18.850 | 5 | 2673 | <p>I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on an Acer Aspire 6390G. With its 5.1 embedded sound system, this laptop is good at playing music using in-built speakers. The soundcard is an HDA-Intel ALC888.</p>
<p>When I use Rhythmbox (version 0.13.1) (or Totem) (and the in-built speakers), the sound is deep, warm, great. But with Banshee (version 1.8.0.), it is always crispy and basically of poor quality when the Banshee equalizer is disabled. I know that it is possible to fine tune Banshee sound using the equalizer, but after some time spent trying to properly adjust it without success, I decided to ask this question on askubuntu.com.</p>
<p>Is there a way to get the same sound quality in Banshee as in Rhythmbox (or Totem) or keeping on adjusting Banshee equalizer is the only alternative to try to solve this problem ?
(If the answer is the latter, is there anyone who would be kind enough to provide me his equalizer settings ?)</p>
<p>Thanks all for your answers.</p>

25088 | 1 | null | 2011-02-06T23:31:30.697 | 2 | 239 | <p>After upgrading my Linux system from Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 10.10, I suceeded correcting most problems (all related to Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Adapter support and compiz is still not working but that's another matter) but for one I only have a partial solution.</p>
<p>Whenever I play a video the colors are much too saturated. This is really a problem for tones of skins that appears reddish (everyone seems to be coming back from a ski vacation with deep sun burns). As this effect only occurs with videos, not with pictures, I finally figured out it was related to Video Overlays configuration and I can correct it typing:</p>
<pre><code>xvattr -a XV_SATURATION -v 120
</code></pre>
<p>This change the default saturation value, which is 500 and much too high in my case, at eye sight the correct value seems to be between 100 and 150.</p>
<p>Now my problem is that I have to type the above command each time I run a video. If I type it before running the video it has no effect, if I close the video and open a new one, I have to type it again, etc. I tried to put it in Xsession and (logically) it has no effect either.</p>
<p>How could I do to get the correct setting whenever I run a video without typing the above command every time ?</p>

25110 | 1 | 140478 | 2011-02-07T05:22:04.680 | 4 | 9347 | <p>I have a big USB disk with 3 partitions: one for backup and two other bootable ones for installing and testing new distros. I want the backup partition automounted on boot. But I don't want the two test partitions automounted. Despite my use of "noauto" in /etc/fstab, something (gnome?) seems to be mounting them when I plug the drive it.</p>
<pre><code>LABEL=mybook /srv/backup ext4 defaults 0 2
LABEL=mybook-root /media/mybook-root ext4 user,noauto 0 2
LABEL=mybook-spare /media/mybook-spare ext4 user,noauto 0 2
</code></pre>
<p>In previous Ubuntu distributions it seems that it was possible to configure gnome so it would avoid mounting particular partitions on removable drives like USB:</p>
<pre><code>gnome-mount --write-settings --mount-options noauto --device /dev/sda1
</code></pre>
<p>This is no longer available in Lucid (when did it go away?)</p>
<p>Is there another way to do this now?</p>

It involves simply listing a nonexistent directory as the mount point for partitions you don't wan't to be automatically mounted. E.g. in this case, it would work to simply delete the relevant directories listed in the fstab, e.g. \"/media/mybook-spare\". Unfortunately, when the user does want to mount that partition, it of course requires that the user re-create the directory (or edit the fstab).</p>\n",

<p>The hardware:
Appears to be an embedded pcmcia card.
pccardctl ident gives:</p>
<pre><code>Socket 0:
product info: "TOSHIBA", "Wireless LAN Card", "Version 01.01", ""
manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)
</code></pre>
<p>The default kernel recognises the card and loads the orinoco_cs driver.</p>
<pre><code>orinoco_cs 0.0: Hardware identity 0005:0002:0001:0002
orinoco_cs 0.0: Station identity 001f:0001:0006:000e
orinoco_cs 0.0: Firmware determined as Lucent/Agere 6.14
</code></pre>
<p>Then for some reason, the driver isn't happy with this and gives:</p>
<pre><code>orinoco_cs 0.0: Hardware identity 0005:0002:0001:0002
orinoco_cs 0.0: Station identity 001f:0002:0009:0030
orinoco_cs 0.0: Firmware determined as Lucent/Agere 9.48
</code></pre>
<p>All seems ok until I try to associate with my access point using Network Manager.</p>
<pre><code>eth1: Lucent/Agere firmware doesn't support manual roaming
</code></pre>
<p>repeated about 10 times then NM gives up.</p>
<p>According to the linuxwireless.org <a href="http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/orinoco" rel="nofollow">wiki page</a> on this driver, this is a known issue, and I quote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Known issues</p>
<p>Roaming and WPA_supplicant</p>
<p>Lucent/Agere firmware doesn't support
manual roaming</p>
<p>On the Agere cards, roaming is
controlled by the firmware instead of
userspace. You will get the above
message if userspace attempts to
associate with a specific AP rather
than by SSID.</p>
<p>If you are using wpa_supplicant use
ap_scan=2 mode.</p>
<p>NetworkManager uses wpa_supplicant, so
the above also applies.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>At this point my google-fu has failed me, and I can't find how to configure network manager to use the mystical "ap_scan=2" mode via wpa_supplicant.</p>
<p>I have tried the following suggested solutions (from launchpad or the forums)</p>
<ul>
<li>deleting the agere* files from /lib/firmware</li>
<li>using wicd instead of network manager</li>
<li>combining both</li>
<li>blacklisting the orinoco_cs driver in an attempt to force use of the hostap_cs driver instead (in case it is a prism2 card).</li>
</ul>
<p>Obviously none of them have worked for me.</p>
<p>Any hints on how to perform the suggested workaround above?</p>
<p>Edit:
I have also confirmed working on 8.10 (intrepid) live CD.</p>

25158 | 1 | 25230 | 2011-02-07T15:24:56.927 | 4 | 10043 | <p>I am planning to install some big softwares such as Matlab (4GB), Mathematica (4GB) on my Ubuntu partitions.</p>
<p>I was wondering</p>
<ol>
<li>if I installed them on my home
partition, when I reinstall Ubuntu
without touching the home partition,
will the softwares still be runnable
after reinstallation?</li>
<li>what are the advantage and
disadvantages of installing
softwares on root partition and of
on home partition?</li>
<li>with your answer to the previous
questions, what are some reasonable
plans for the sizes of root
partition and of home partition?
Note that I would like to learn
programming in C, C++, Java, Python,
Lisp, databases under both Ubuntu
and Windows, and no games. My laptop
has around 230 GB, where I plan to
install both Windows and Ubuntu, and
reserve 40 GB for Ubuntu (three
partitions: swap, root and home),
110 GB for NTFS partition shared
between the two OSes, 70 GB for
Windows OS partition, and 10 GB that
can be added to any of the above
partitions. I will change my plan
according to your suggestions.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks and regards!</p>

A static binary has any of the libraries needed by the program compiled into them. Generally, this is not the default for compiled applications, as it leads to extremely large binaries.</p></li>\n<li><p>There really aren't any disadvantages, per say; it depends on the application. If you're installing an application from <code>apt-get</code>, Synaptic or from the Ubuntu Software Centre, the application is being installed in your root partition. If you have a static binary that you have downloaded and unpackaged yourself, then your best bet would be to keep it in your home directory. For any scripts or programs I write or install, that are not provided by the Ubuntu repositories, I keep them in a <code>bin</code> directory in my home folder. This way, they aren't \"polluting\" my base system.</p></li>\n<li><p>The size of your root partition really depends on how many applications and libraries you plan on installing from the Ubuntu repositories. Different Linux distributions recommend different sizes. If you allow Ubuntu to automatically partition your drive, with a separate partition for <code>/home</code>, the Ubuntu installer will give you a sane layout. C and C++ compilers, Lisp REPLs, Python interpreters and the various databases do not take up much room. The only large compiler is for Java; I believe it weighs in at around 80MB for the JDK (Java Development Kit). As with my answer for your second question, most of the stuff you write, you should keep to your home directory, so you do not pollute the base system. Plus, if you ever upgrade your Ubuntu install, you will not have to worry about accidentally blowing away the directory you keep your projects in. Granted, you run this risk anyways, it will just be easier to keep everything you do in your home directory; that is what it is there for.</p></li>\n</ol>\n",

25168 | 1 | 25247 | 2011-02-07T16:09:36.543 | 8 | 20998 | <p>So I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on my computer.</p>
<p>I installed it on my 60gb SSD hard drive, and in the installation it never acknowledged the existence of my second hard drive.</p>
<p>The hard drive that I keep all my files on, and which I want to make my home folder if I can, is a Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB cache (WD1002FAEX).</p>
<p>I've read the following: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount" rel="nofollow">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount</a> but honestly cannot work out how to access the hard drive from my Ubuntu installation. </p>
<p>I did have Windows 7 64-bit prior to installing Ubuntu. I have backed up all the files on the hard drive, but if I could just access them straight off that would be super cool.</p>
<p>The following directories are currently in my /dev/ folder:</p>
<p>ati/, block/, bsg/, bus/, char/, cpu/, isk/, input/, mapper/, net/, pktcdvd/, pts/, shm/, snd/, and usb/</p>

<p><strong>Does anyone know how I can use the second hard drive?</strong></p>
<hr>
<p>@djeykib
So very close to fixing it.. unfortunately on the last command you gave it says this:</p>
<pre><code>$ sudo apt-get install linux-lts-backport-natty
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-lts-backport-natty
</code></pre>
<p>Checking on <a href="http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas" rel="nofollow">http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas</a> reveals that it is only available for 10.04. Looks like I'll have to unplug and re-plug hardware if I want it working still :(</p>

"body": "<p>There are a number of different ways of working with your Ubuntu One data, you'll be pleased to hear.</p>\n\n<p><strong>If your Python application is running on Ubuntu</strong></p>\n\n<p>Your contacts data is stored in Ubuntu One, and is also synced to your desktop. Contacts data is available in the <em>desktopcouch</em> storage system. You can find out more about desktopcouch <a href=\"http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktopcouch/Documentation\">in the documentation</a>. There will be more information available over the next few months as part of the Ubuntu One app developer programme.</p>\n\n<p>A short summary: desktopcouch is your own personal CouchDB, running on your Ubuntu desktop, and your contacts are stored in it. So you can use the desktopcouch.records library to get access to your contacts:</p>\n\n<pre><code>from desktopcouch.records.server import CouchDatabase\nCONTACT_RECORD_TYPE = 'http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktopcouch/contact'\ndb=CouchDatabase('contacts')\ncontact_names = []\nfor row in db.get_records(record_type=CONTACT_RECORD_TYPE):\n first_name = row.value.get('first_name', '')\n last_name = row.value.get('last_name', '')\n contact_names.append('%s %s' % (first_name, last_name))\nprint contact_names\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>There are more examples of how to work with desktopcouch data in the <a href=\"http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktopcouch/Documentation\">desktopcouch documentation page</a>. The data format for contacts is <a href=\"http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktopcouch/contact\">defined here</a>.</p>\n\n<p>You can create any other databases that you like in desktopcouch; simply do</p>\n\n<pre><code>db = CouchDatabase(\"my_new_db\", create=True)\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>and then work with that database; your new database will be synchronised to your personal cloud and to all your machines, and you can store whatever data in it you want.</p>\n\n<p><strong>If your Python application is not running on Ubuntu, or you want to access the data at Ubuntu One directly</strong></p>\n\n<p>Your data is stored in your own personal CouchDB in the cloud at Ubuntu One as well as in desktopcouch on your Ubuntu desktop. You can access it directly in your personal cloud if you choose. You'll need to be familiar with OAuth for this. First, obtain an OAuth token for Ubuntu One; you can do this from an Ubuntu desktop by looking in the keyring. Next, OAuth sign a request to <a href=\"https://one.ubuntu.com/api/account/\">https://one.ubuntu.com/api/account/</a> which will return some JSON, including your \"couchdb_root\", which will look like <a href=\"https://couchdb.one.ubuntu.com/u/abc/efg/12345\">https://couchdb.one.ubuntu.com/u/abc/efg/12345</a>. </p>\n\n<p>Your personal cloud contacts database is then available at <a href=\"https://couchdb.one.ubuntu.com/u%2Fabc%2Fefg%2F12345%2Fcontacts\">https://couchdb.one.ubuntu.com/u%2Fabc%2Fefg%2F12345%2Fcontacts</a> (it's your couchdb_root with \"contacts\" on the end, and the / escaped to %2F). You can then work with this as with any CouchDB by OAuth-signing your curl requests to it. <a href=\"http://guide.couchdb.org/editions/1/en/index.html\">The CouchDB guide</a> explains how to work with CouchDB over HTTP.</p>\n\n<p>Working with notes is a little more complicated: the primary store for notes is the Tomboy application. Tomboy will sync your notes to Ubuntu One, and they are available in your personal cloud CouchDB (a database called \"notes\"), and that \"notes\" DB is also synced into desktopcouch. However, if your application is running on the Ubuntu desktop, I'd recommend that you use Tomboy's comprehensive D-Bus API to work with your notes directly at the source, rather than editing the desktopcouch copies and waiting for those changes to be synced up to Ubuntu One and then down to Tomboy again! <a href=\"http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2007/09/using-the-tomboy-d-bus-interface.ars\">This Ars Technica article</a> explains some of how to do that, and the Tomboy team are lovely people who will be eager to help.</p>\n\n<p>We (Ubuntu One) are building up an application developer programme to make it even easier to answer this sort of question and provide guidance and documentation; I'd love to hear what you're planning to do and how I can make it easier for you, so do please drop me a line (stuart.langridge @ canonical.com, or <a href=\"http://kryogenix.org/contact\">http://kryogenix.org/contact</a>) if I can help, or post more questions to askubuntu!</p>\n",

I've already turned off most of the bindings in <strong>Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts</strong> and modified the layout options there to set <strong>Meta is mapped to Win keys</strong>. Everything is working well except some program is stealing <kbd>meta</kbd>-<kbd>n</kbd> and <kbd>meta</kbd>-<kbd>m</kbd>. This seems to cause a sort of inverse video effect in both cases, with <kbd>meta</kbd>-<kbd>n</kbd> affecting only the current window and <kbd>meta</kbd>-<kbd>m</kbd> affecting the entire desktop, so I suspect that this is the window manager but I can't figure out where this might be configured so I can change it. Anybody got any ideas?</p>

Currently I keep my snapshots on the same partition and will copy the newest snapshot to a pen-drive at the end of the week.</p>
<p>Cloud storage is what I’m looking for. Dropbox doesn’t fit my needs, because there is no way to make Dropbox respect hard links — all snapshots are treated as full snapshots.</p>

<p>I want to disable it because i think that is broken, however i'm going to write what happens and if someone knows what could be wrong if it's not physically broken, can tell me how to solve it.</p>
<p>Well, the main problem is that is scrolling all down every time so i can't do almost anything. </p>
<p>I've tried to remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics but it got worse and it was every time pressing enter or something like that so it was very annoying. </p>
<p>Then when i could repair it, i tried with gpointing-device-settings and gsynaptics, but it continued doing the same even with i disabled it from there.</p>
<p>The only thing that seems to have a positive effect is to use x(whatever) option instead of gnome when login in and disabling it with xinput. However, it only lasted some minutes before it started working and i had to disable it again.</p>
<p>Any idea about how can i disable or fix it?</p>

<p>I think this might be caused by an issue I'm facing with installing the correct video driver for my computer, an "HP dv4 2154ca" . </p>
<p>I've tried to install the driver a couple of times, but the xorg.conf file is still empty no matter what.</p>
<p>So my question is, why is this file empty, and how could I generate it correctly for my device? Is this the cause of my video rendering problems in flash?</p>

But due to some unmovable files, I cannot shrink as much as I plan by using Windows own shrinking tool. I guess many of you who have both OSes on the same hard drive must have similar experience. How to solve this problem?</p>
<p>Any reference that can help is also appreciated!</p>
<p>Thanks and regards!</p>
<hr>
<p>UPDATE:</p>
<p>I have identified what unmovable file currently stop further shrinking:</p>
<pre><code>\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Projects\SystemIndex\Indexer\CiFiles\00010015.wid::$DATA
</code></pre>
<p>If I understand correctly, the file belongs to Windows Search. Can I set up somewhere in Windows system settings to temperately eliminate the file and similar ones (because there are many similar files under the same directory which I guess will also stand in the way of shrinking and unmovable by defrag)?</p>

Try installing xcalib. You can run <code>xcalib -co 60 -a</code> (where 60 can be any percent) to dim the screen and <code>xcalib -c</code> to clear the settings and restore brightness.

<p>My question: Will backing up my files using rsync preserve the defined ACLs?</p>
<p>BTW, I read an <a href="http://beginlinux.com/server_training/server-managment-topics/1038-ubuntu-804-access-control-lists">article about ACLs</a>. They are saying that ubuntu does not support ACLs with tar. Is this real/old or not? I may not have this problem if I am using rsync. Is this right?</p>

I created the dwm.desktop file with the proper text and the path to the dwm exec is correct. On login screen, I can see dwm as a alternate session : but if I select it, still gnome starts. </p>
<p>I even tried another window manager (fluxbox) - same problem. I can see and select it in the login screen, but gnome starts up.</p>
<p>Trying <code>gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager dwm --type string</code> also does nothing. Killing the windows manager just restarts it - even if I chvt first. Also, don't see the xinit daemon running.</p>
<p>Any ideas ? This setup was trivial in Debian, and older versions of Ubuntu. What changed ? I am guessing gnome integration is to blame - but am clueless as of now.</p>

<p>Trying to fix my apt-get upgrade, it always stopped at setting up grub-pc... I read somewhere that I should purge remove my grub2 and then reinstall it.</p>
<p>I did that and after lots of paying around i was able to remove it(wasn't such a smart move). Now i can't get it to install again.</p>
<p>I am trying <code>sudo apt-get install grub-pc</code>
and it just stops at <code>"Setting up grub-pc.."</code> and does nothing and because of this it isn't allowing me to do any kind of upgrade or install.. It asks me to <code>sudo dpkg --configure -a</code>
which again stops at setting up grub-pc</p>
<p>I think I need help and real soon. Thanks, I really appreciate any inputs here to get my system in place before the next reboot.</p>

</blockquote>
<p>Using Ubuntu 10.10, I have a startup script that automatically removes my 'working directory'. This is a simple folder on my Desktop where I place a bunch of files that I use throughout the day. These are temporary files I need to store just for that one session. In order to keep things clean, my startup script does:</p>
<pre><code>rm -rf /home/user/Desktop/workdir
mkdir /home/user/Desktop/workdir
</code></pre>
<p>Works great. Till the moment I had some important files there and forgot to move them before shutting down. A few (2-3) sessions ago this happened and I now realize I need to recover the "workdir" directory. But several new ones have been created and removed in the meantime. What is the best way to recover this - if possible? I read about tools like scalpel but it seems they will scan my whole HD. I know the name of the folder and would like to just look for this workdir folder. What is best?</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE - attempt with Foremost</strong></p>
<p>I have used foremost to try to recover my files. I used:</p>
<pre><code>sudo foremost -a -t doc -i /dev/sda1 -o/home/user/Desktop/foremost
</code></pre>
<p>Apparently, I have been removing many documents. So many files were recovered that I had to remove other files on the fly in order to not fill up my hard drive. Over 30GB of XLS/PPT/OLE(?)/Word files were restored. I had to break off the restore process. For Word documents, I have now over 7GB in 3,050 files. How to I get to the right file? They are all numbered, and the date of modification is today for all files. </p>
<p>Also, I need to restore 3 other JPG files as well. This might become an ever larger set of files. How can I only recover what was removed in the last week? Or by using the original filename, is that possible? </p>

<p>I couldn't accidentally download pre-released updates or unsupported updates cause both of those options stays 'unticked' in software sources/updates, so that can't be that.</p>

<p>Unofficial software packages then? If yes, how to find which of them I have to get rid off?</p>

25347 | 1 | 25348 | 2011-02-08T22:50:41.563 | 1148 | 3502629 | <p>I received a huge .tar.gz file from a client that contains about 800 mb of image files (when uncompressed.) Our hosting company's ftp is seriously slow, so extracting all the files locally and sending them up via ftp isn't practical. I was able to ftp the .tar.gz file to our hosting site, but when I ssh into my directory and try using unzip, it gives me this error:</p>
<pre><code>[esthers@clients locations]$ unzip community_images.tar.gz
Archive: community_images.tar.gz
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive.
note: community_images.tar.gz may be a plain executable, not an archive
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of community_images.tar.gz or community_images.tar.gz.zip, and cannot find community_images.tar.gz.ZIP, period.
</code></pre>
<p>What command do I need to use to extract all the files in a .tar.gz file?</p>
