Uncompress .tar.xz
Hello All
I am trying to uncompress a .tar.xz file.
Can somebody suggest me a command as tar -Jxf <filename> gives me an error.
anusha@anusha-laptop:/usr/src/gcc-4.4$ tar -Jxf gcc-4.4.3.tar.xz
tar: xz: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Thanks,
Aravind.

Re: Uncompress .tar.xz
You can man xz to see your options.
Drop the tar and use:
Then use tar. :P

use the command:
unxz <file.tar.xz>
then use tar to decompress.

Open synaptic and check if you've got installed:
xz-utils
If not, install it.
If you want you may do this in terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xz-utils
then, right-click and extract
or, in terminal:
$ tar -Jxf [filename]
