We're migrating an application from a very old Solaris box over to a relatively newer Linux machine. I'm having trouble finding an equivalent for a command line option that was used on our old server when running tar on the newer one. I'm assuming that it is obsolete now, as I don't see anything via man or searching online to indicate why it was done away with... but if anyone has any information, it would be very much appreciated.
The version of tar on the old server was 1.12, and the version on the new server is 1.23.
The command we ran was:
tar cEf path-to-tar path-to-tar-up
Does anyone know whether this switch is even necessary anymore? Unfortunately the code using this switch predates my work on the project, so I am unaware of why this particular switch is being used currently.

I know that truecrypt isn't capable of creating a hidden OS but in another post someone describes the steps to do it manually and that he does it to all of his linux computers all of the time. Can anyone elaborate on his steps so that someone (like myself) who is not as experienced could accomplish this?
I would just ask this individual to provide more details but it appears as though their account is "anonymous" or something.
I developed something like you are describing.
Here https://github.com/antonio-petricca/buddy-linux you can find all the information and installation script.
Buddy linux allows you to install linux on (hidden) loop files (like for the link you provided), but providing GRUB loader by an external USB drive. So, removing, it will results in a Windows boot.
The other good stuff is that it is based on LVM, so you can extended file system "simply" by adding loop files as per your needs.

The version of FFMPEG that came on my server does not have the correct codecs I need for web encoding.
I've followed this guide to completion to recompile FFMPEG on my server https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Centos
Now when I use the FFMPEG, it is still calling the old build as it shows the build date as 2013 and it doesn't have the codecs I chose.
I'm lost as to how I should proceed, I can't find where the new build is located on my server either.
Did I need to uninstall FFMPEG before following the guide? How would I do that?
I'm using CENT OS 6.4
I apologize if this is something obvious, I am new to linux.
Thanks for any help, I'm really stuck on this.
The ffmpeg binary can be found in the bin directory under the directory you passed as the prefix option to configure.
The guide you supplied uses a different installation path which can't be found under default executing environment, you can run the complied ffmpeg with full path which should look like this:$HOME/ffmpeg_build/bin/ffmpeg

Hey I'm trying to install Microsoft Office using linux and wine but everytime I run the setup application I get this error:
Setup cannot find the required setup controller file. Either there was
a network error, an error reading from the CD, DVD, or other
installation media, or a problem with the package you downloaded.
I'm not sure what I should do.
What version of office do you try to install? Probably you can try to install other version, that works better with wine. I hope this link will help you - https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=31
it is list of versions of Microsoft office and their perfomance under wine.

A bit of a silly question , please forgive my lack though, new UNIX user .
I have an setup_test.exe file if there a way that i can make it "run-install" or compile it in UNIX based machine, or I need the source code to start with?
thanks in advance
If this executable came from the Windows environment, it won't run under UNIX/Linux without lots of help.
Two options:
If you have the source code and the application doesn't rely on a lot of Windows specific libraries, you could try compiling it in your current environment.
The WINE emulator can often run Windows executables, depending again on what libraries from Windows are used.
If it isn't a Windows exe and is native to your current environment, then ./exename.exe should work provided you have the permissions to execute it.

I search along the net and looked at the Opera website, but didn't find useful infos.
I just would like to ask if anyone knows why there's no newer version of Opera browser for Linux systems, the 12.16 version (actually the latest for Linux OS) is kinda buggy and sometimes shows some strange behaviour.
Do they stop the development?
Thanks!
Yes, Opera is no longer available for Linux.
The Linux version development has stopped. As of 2013/December there
is no recent version for Linux (stalled at v12.16)
