Here now again a question in the english part of the forum ( thanks @anon88624618 ): I want to install a developer edition of Manjaro. How do I go about getting the downloaded manjaro-kde-21.07-development-unstable-210708-linux510.iso.zip
or manjaro-kde-21.07-development-unstable-210708-linux510.iso.z01
onto the stick? Unpacking does not work for either file. How do I get the .ISO?
Download both files. Unpack the .zip, which should yield you a .iso from both of the compressed files.
This is exactly what does NOT work. When I try to unzip, I get an error message from Ark: Multi-disk zip archives not supported!
Otherwise I would have already sorted it out myself
I installed unzip
again (currently using Arch, must not have been installed yet) went to the folder where the files are located, but only the message: bash: unzip: command not found
came up.
I give up, why also necessarily play the tester … wait until it is stable …
No - don’t just give up! What does ls /usr/bin/ | grep zip
say?
Most likely unzip
is not installed. Install unzip
with sudo pacman -S unzip
That is up to you. More testers would help the distribution to be even better.
bunzip2
bzip2
bzip2recover
gunzip
gzip
hunzip
hzip
mzip
orcus-zip-dump
zipcmp
zipmerge
ziptool
OK, I had tried yay
, must have been nothing. With pacman
it worked, but the file can not be unpacked:
[uwe@HAL Downloads]$ unzip manjaro-kde-21.07-development-unstable-210708-linux510.iso.zip
Archive: manjaro-kde-21.07-development-unstable-210708-linux510.iso.zip
warning [manjaro-kde-21.07-development-unstable-210708-linux510.iso.zip]: zipfile claims to be last disk of a multi-part archive;
attempting to process anyway, assuming all parts have been concatenated
together in order. Expect "errors" and warnings...true multi-part support
doesn't exist yet (coming soon).
file #1: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 4
It insists that the file must be part of a multi-archive.
I’ll let this shit go now, the whole thing just came out of a whim anyway. Sorry and thanks for your effort …
You need first combine all files into one, then unzip:
zip -s- manjaro-kde-21.07-development-unstable-210708-linux510.iso.zip -O random-name.zip
unzip random-name.zip
Sorry, I’ve been trying to unzip this crap for over an hour now, with no success worth mentioning … why am I doing this to myself? Am out …
Did I say one last try? I must have used a script or alias or something and forgot about it, because I was wrong. What does work for me is:
zip -FF name-of-iso.zip --out new-name.zip
unzip new-name.zip
Tested it just now…
Sorry about that…
P.S.: zip
is a separate package you need to install.
EDIT: Just in case you wanna try again after a good night’s sleep
Oh good grief. Did anyone search the internet?
The Linux
unzip
utility doesn’t really support multipart zips. From the manual:Multi-part archives are not yet supported, except in conjunction with zip. (All parts must be concatenated together in order, and then
zip -F
(for zip 2.x) orzip -FF
(for zip 3.x) must be performed on the concatenated archive in order to “fix” it. Also, zip 3.0 and later can combine multi-part (split) archives into a combined single-file archive usingzip -s- inarchive -O outarchive
. See the zip 3 manual page for more information.)So you need to first concatenate the pieces, then repair the result.
cat test.zip.*
concatenates all the files calledtest.zip.*
where the wildcard*
stands for any sequence of characters; the files are enumerated in lexicographic order, which is the same as numerical order thanks to the leadings zeroes.>test.zip
directs the output into the filetest.zip
.cat test.zip.* >test.zip zip -FF test.zip --out test-full.zip unzip test-full.zip
If you created the pieces by directly splitting the zip file, as opposed to creating a multi-part zip with the official Pkzip utility, all you need to do is join the parts.
cat test.zip.* >test.zip unzip test.zip
That’s too easy
I checked the forum and installed PeaZip and it created the iso then used it to install the gnome dev edition.Been using it several months now with no major issues.
Download the file e.g.:
manjaro-xfce-21.07-development-unstable-210710-linux510.iso.z01
In the terminal:
7z x manjaro-xfce-21.07-development-unstable-210710-linux510.iso.z01
And then you will get your ‘.iso’ file
