use

ln -s /usr/bin/gunzip /usr/bin/uncompress

ok for starters gunzip is not the same as the uncompress command.. not sure how creating a link to it would magically allow uncompress to work?? ;) I don't use SUSE much.. but the ncompress package would install the uncompress command for you..

I got the same error as you..

simple yum install ncompress

Installing:

ncompress i386 4.2.4-43.2.1 core 23 k

and now I can run that hld.bin file

Enter 'yes' to accept this agreement, 'no' to decline: yes

extracting steam.tar.Z...done

If you want I can gzip up the extracted steam file.. and post it for you.. PM if you want me to do that.. if not just install the ncompress package.

edit: here is the uncompress listed in the ncompress package

rpm -q --filesbypkg ncompress | grep uncompress

ncompress /usr/bin/uncompress

ncompress /usr/share/man/man1/uncompress.1.gz

Because G(un)Zip handles .Z files as well - that's how it would work.

This is a common issue when installing the HL server and the easiest way, without installing additional software, is to create a symbolic link from /bin/gunzip to /usr/bin/compress (Where HL server falsely expects the file to exist)

ln -s /bin/gunzip /usr/bin/compress

um no, creating

ln -s /bin/gunzip /usr/bin/compress

would not work for his UNcompress command ;)

but yes

ln -s /bin/gunzip /usr/bin/uncompress

Looks like he typo'd the command and used /user vs /usr

but they are not the same command - in this case it might well be that a link to gunzip would work.. but why not just install the command that whatever he is trying to do calls for? Yes I agree it in this case - it is a quick way to get your file uncompressed..

  BudMan said:

but they are not the same command

Yes, I had a typo.

In any case, it doesn't matter whether they are the same command or not, gzip can handle the .Z format as well as the suffix and it also decompresses the file as uncompress would.

Un/Compress is an outdated command that should not be installed to any modern system. It's a bit like installing and using zoo, it just makes no sense.

Outdated -- and not installed? Then why do they call for it ;) in their somewhat recent installer? Why did they not just use gunzip?

The command is being called from inside their .bin, which is using PDV to run whatever it runs through.. If uncompress is so out dated.. WATF did they use it for?

And if so many users are having issues - since uncompress is not installed by default? then why don't they just update the installer? As for the ncompress package.. the version I installed to test his out his problem has a Build Date: Sun 12 Feb 2006 01:39:56

So for whatever reason it is still being maintained.. and what is wrong with zoo ;) heheheh

Well he gave me ssh access. And I fixed up his link.. for uncompress to gunzip.. Not sure exactly what he did wrong - if anything.. does Suse have some issue with links to links?

since /usr/bin/gunzip is really a link to /bin/gunzip

the link was showing bad.. I deleted it and

ln -s /bin/gunzip /usr/bin/uncompress

uncompressed his file for him -- and now he is moving forward with his instructions.. Good Luck, let us know if you have more problems. And don't forget to remove that forward, and change the password!

okay it was downloading the maps and it seemed to have stopped at compound.bsp ..i left it there for an hour or something and i came to the conclusion something frozed. so i closed the console and reopened it and did what i did before [ ./steam ] but now it says..

checking for bootstrapper version...

cannot connect to any GeneralDirectoryServer

..what happend? and all the files it downloads are all over the desktop..can i follow the instructions if i put the steam file inside a folder i've created on the desktop?

    • Apple is giving the upcoming iPad Pro a second front-facing camera by Taras Buria The M4-based iPad Pro brought a few significant changes to Apple's high-end tablet, such as tandem OLED displays, a much-thinner chassis, camera changes, and a much more powerful processor. Its successor, the M5-based iPad Pro, is rumored to retain the current form factor without major changes. However, there is one rather odd hardware update that is coming with the next iPad Pro. A new report says that a successor to the current iPad Pro lineup will offer a more powerful Apple M5 processor and more cameras on the front. While Apple experimented with a dual-camera setup on the back of the recent iPad Pros (this was killed in the M4 generation), the front of every iPad has always had a single camera, minus the original one, of course, which had none. With the M5 iPad Pro, Apple is rumored to double the number of front-facing cameras for a rather odd reason. No, Apple is not using a dual-camera setup for depth of field effects or a wider angle. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the logic is much simpler: satisfy fans of the portrait orientation. The problem is that in the 2024 iPad Pro, Apple moved the front-facing camera to the longer side of the tablet, where it makes much more sense for FaceTime calls, selfies, and everything else. However, that makes the iPad a bit awkward to use when in portrait mode, especially when it comes to FaceID. Now, it appears that Apple wants to make both camps happy by adding another front-facing camera to the shorter side of the screen. There is no information on whether we will see just one more front-facing camera or the entire FaceID module. Given Apple's nature of blaming users for some of its device shortcomings (the infamous "you are holding it wrong" line), it is quite interesting to see Apple addressing a seemingly minor concern with such an overkill solution.
    • Hello! It's default behavior. I assume that F:\ and E:\ are external drives? My local drives are under This PC. So File Explorer is showing storage from different locations: This PC (under which are local drives) Mapped Network drives External USB drives The Network (under which, my NAS) You could drag the drive to Quick access to see it all the time, but in my case when I expand This PC, the local drives remain in view even when I close and reopen the window.
    • It also lost Window Share support, so can no longer share websites from Edge to it or files from Explorer using the Share button or photos from Photos app. Mind you, not that this is impossible from a webappp since the new Outlook does support Share and that's a web app.
    • Was that just a warning about malware in general, or is there a list of malware that's proven to affect a computer outside a sandbox/vm?
    • One of the best file managers for Windows 11 gets brand-new Omnibar and more by Taras Buria Files is a popular file manager for Windows 10 and 11, and it is one of the best alternatives to the stock File Explorer. The app is packed with features, it looks fantastic on Windows 11, it is free, and it regularly receives feature updates. The latest preview update, version 3.9.12, introduces some big changes to the address bar, search, and filtering. With Files Preview 3.9.12, the app is getting the new Omnibar. It is a new control that works the same as your browser's address bar. It combines the "breadcrumb" path and the search box into a single UI element. By default, the new Omnibar displays breadcrumbs, which are the current path to the folder with quick access to each directory in the path and their nested folders. Besides the visual overhaul, the new Omnibar introduces a new Home button with a dedicated flyout that lets you navigate to quick access items, drives, and other elements. You can click the new Omnibar (or press Ctrl + L) to edit or copy the current path, paste a new address or navigate to another folder by typing its location. The Omnibar also now hosts the Command Palette, which you can trigger by pressing Ctrl + Shift + P. With the Omnibar, Files no longer uses a dedicated search bar. You can search for files by pressing Ctrl + F or clicking a search button in the omnibar. It is also worth noting that developers changed how filtering works. Now, Files has a dedicated filter UI instead of defaulting to filtering items when typing in the search box. It works faster and it is more intuitive. Other changes in Files Preview 3.9.12 include OX Drive integration and partial RTL support. You can download Files Preview 3.9.12 from the official Files.community website. If you want to support developers, you can purchase the preview version from the Microsoft Store.
