error extracing .bz2 file for RasPi app

Post by GTIspirit »

Thanks for the auto installation script! That' s huge step forward in user friendliness for the Raspberry Pi app!

Unfortunately, there are some errors when extracting the .bz2 file.

A command prompt log of the auto installation is attached.

I also tried the manual installation and received the same error.

Code: Select all

bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
I manually downloaded the file from the browser within the Raspberry Pi, moved it to the /opt directory and then extraction was successful.

It looks like there is a slight problem with the auto install script processing the URL for download.

I wonder if it has something to do with the format of the URL.

Code: Select all

sudo wget https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/68n7crkcaqzyrfv532g2r/racecapture_linux_raspberrypi_2.11.0.tar.bz2?rlkey=l8hqdj223yh6cgw8ej9d6vm3r&dl=1
or

Code: Select all

sudo wget https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/68n7crkcaqzyrfv532g2r/racecapture_linux_raspberrypi_2.11.0.tar.bz2
without the information after the ?

The RasPi treated each a bit differently, but extraction didn't work. Only when I direct downloaded from the RasPi browser did it work.

Hi, please try it again, we recently updated the setup script with the latest 2.11.0 app release.

Thanks!
