Openssh unrecognized archive format

Me again...
Does anyone know why makepkg complains about unknown an archive format for the openssh tarball:
fukawi2@kangaroo ~/abs/openssh $ makepkg

Fixes the 'problem', but the MD5 changes so something must be screwy with the compression that the OpenSSH devs do to the package :s

  • Pacman throws "unrecognized archive format" error for .xz packages

    Hi,

  • JPG is an unrecognized file format?!?! ***?

    I tried to download pics from my Kodak Z812 IS digital camera like have done no less than thirty times without any problems, and for some reason, now iPhoto says there was an error importing the pics because they are an unrecognized file format. They are all .JPG or .MOV! The files aren't corrupted because they downloaded fine onto my wife's PC. Anyone know why iPhoto suddenly doesn't work?

    PJ
    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • Unrecognized file format

    I'm using a Fujifilm s1500 to upload photos to iPhoto. I've uploaded with this camera several times now with no issues. After trying to upload my latest pictures several times, I got the same response: "unrecognized file format." 4 pictures uploaded, 45 did not.
    I was looking through the discussions, and tried the suggestion of using image capture. It looked as if all the pictures transferred, but when I opened the folder, there's nothing in it.
    Does anyone know why this would all of a sudden happen? All the photos are .jpg. Any thoughts on what I could try next?
    Thanks

    Directory damage...so that doesn't mean the photos are lost, just somewhere the data has gone awry?
    Doesn't necessarily mean they are lost...
    I'm just wondering because I can see the pictures in iPhoto, just can't import them.
    It's probably seeing a jpeg preview that written to most files by the camera
    Also, any reason why the camera connected to the computer won't show on the desktop?
    Well assuming it has in the past... Directory damage. However, some cameras don't mount in the desktop at all. Canon cameras for instance.

  • Unrecognized database format error when trying to access addin to Acrobat reader?

    I get an "Unrecognized database format" error when trying to access addin to Acrobat reader so I can use Pro to edit a pdf document?  What do I do so that teh ACCESS program aI am generating PDF's from uses Pro and not Reader?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Adobe Reader and Acrobat Professional are 2 different products. Reader is for free and limited as to what it can do an support.
    Add-ins can only use features supported by Reader.
    You need Acrobat to edit PDF forms. Acrobat no longer supports access to SQL databases through Acrobat JavaScript.
    If you have an add-in and Acrobat can use it for filling a PDF form from Access, you need to talk to the developer to see if it can work with Reader.

  • Unrecognized executable format.

    I tried to install a new kernel (trying to get the original kernel that came with the CD back, because it got deleted. )
    # pacman -S kernel26
    It put the kernel image on my computer (I assume it's /boot/kernel26.img), I added a Grub entry for it, and rebooted. However, when it first started booting, it said "Error 13: Unrecognized executable format."
    Any idea how I can fix this? Thanks.

    I tried that, and it gets further, but now it gives me another error.
    Failed to parse block device name for /dev/hda2.
    Root fs cannot be detected. Try using the rootfstype= kernel parameter
    I tried using rootfstype=ext3 but that didn't make a difference.
    I tried reading this thread:
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=259094
    But the device nodes for /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst match, and I've got kernel26.img listed as the initrd thing.
    I also tried doing something suggested in another thread, namely regenerating kernel26.img which piix, ide_disk and ext3 listed as MODULES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. However, now there is a new problem.

  • Outside In support for 7z archive format?

    7-zip, 7zip
    Will search export in Outside In support extracting the contents of files compressed with the 7z archive format?

    Hi Arti,
    The scenario is as follows: we have a common data model in use, and all new-defined services should adhere to this model. Besides the data model we also have Naming rules for our services, operations etc.
    So for all (rule)-services we've identified in our project we want to apply the contract-first approach by designing them in the ESR first (using all naming conventions and data types of the common model), and only then implementing them. For a service that is implemented in an ABAP-system this is easy, because you can generate a proxy in trx SPROXY etc. In this proces you're able to keep the names of the operations/messages that you defined in the ESR.
    For rules, I'm looking for the same thing. So I want my rules to use the data definitions of our ESR-WSDL (and you explained that this is possible and how to do it, thank you), and I want my rule-webservice to keep the name I've defined in the ESR-WSDL for it. What's not clear to me is if this possible in BRM. Could you explain to me this merging process in the service composer? Is it possible to use our naming-conv-compliant SI/operations-names, and 'bind' the defined rules(ets) (which implement the service) to this definition?
    Thanks again...
    Best regards, Fred

  • Is new backup required after changing compatible and archive format?

    Do we need to take backup after changing the archive format and compatible paramter.
    Initially after upgrade from 9i to 10g, I was using 9.2.0. but to use 10g feature I want to change compatible parameter to 10.2.0, which requires the log_archive_format to contain %s %t and %r . So if I change the these two parameter, do I need fresh backup or the backup before changing these will be useful?
    Thanks

    Changing this parameter means oracle recoverer will be looking by default the current Archivelog dest/ Archive log format sequence file. If it is not successful in finding it where expected a dialog starts with the dba so he provides an alternate path/name where smon can find archivelog files.
    As usual, before a major change, a backup is advisable.

  • Unrecognized File Format when importing:

    Hi, I have an older Canon Rebel XT (It does not shoot in RAW format-that's how old it is). I have had no problems importing to iPhoto until recently. Now iPhoto imports just some of my images & gives me an error msg saying the rest are an "unrecognized file format". They are all hi-res RGB jpegs w/ '.JPG' suffix. I am not using any camera effects or B&W settings. I am using iPhoto 8.1.2. I replaced the memory card, thinking it might be corrupt, but I still get the msg. All images import fine to my MacBook (running 10.6.6), but I'd really like to be able to import them to my iMac which has much more HD space. Any help would be appreciated.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Archiving format for concert footage?

    I have just switched a couple weeks ago from Final Cut (Mac) to Premiere CS5 (PC).
    I have 10 sequences (songs from a concert) that I am wanting to store long-term. They were filmed on a Canon T2i (1920x1080, 29.97fps, H264). It was edited natively in CS5. I've looked at the H264 Blu-Ray codec, but the file sizes are a little larger than I can handle. I guess when I say that, I am also inserting that I will be using whatever archive format I decide on for future projects. With a 3.5 minute song, the Blu-Ray High-Quality codec gives me a 800mb file. I am looking for something in the 300mb range.
    This isn't very specific, but I am trying to find out what my options are. From what I've read in this forum, mp4 would be the way to go, vs. quicktime (although I'm sure opinions will vary). Any feedback is appreciated!

    ...optical disc seems to be the best long-term archival medium to me. Am I correct on that, or is there something else I'm overlooking?
    So far, optical disc is not proving to be the long-term archival format of choice. Even the "gold" discs which are supposedly more designed for protracted storage start deteriorating pretty rapidly. Maybe if you store them at the perfect temperature/humidity/elevation/etc. they'd be more reliable, but I think anything of real value shouldn't end up on a burned disc. In a few years, discs are going to be completely obsolete, anyway.
    Hard drives are OK; they're cheap enough these days were you can make a duplicate or two, which should be standard practice anyway.
    LTO tape is probably one of the best archive mediums available right now. The tape itself is dirt-cheap (the drives--not so much) and stores a huge amount of data. Considering that the technology was developed for the financial industry, it's pretty bombproof.

  • FCP Archive Formats

    When you complete a project in FCP, what do you use as the "Archive" format for your sequences, aside from the original tapes (I primarily shoot in DV, but am just now moving to HDV)? I've gotten accustomed to exporting a 10Bit uncompressed SD version of each of my main clips, and I keep these for as long as I can. Obviously since I don't have a huge quantity of work, I can get away with uncompressed .mov files. I'm curious to hear what everyone else does? What are the highest quality formats that can be exported from FCP and played in quicktime? I'd like to find a happy medium between DV and 10bit Uncompressed that will save me some disk space, but still give me quality that is equal to or close to the uncompressed files that I'm exporting now. With my switch to HDV, I'm guessing the file size increase is going to be more and more of a limiting factor for me regarding 10bit uncompressed files.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Bobby

    Thanks for the responses so far guys. Yes - I was talking about saving edited sequences. The reason why I started to archive uncompressed 10bit files, is simply because when I compared them to saved .mov files in DV or HDV format, they always looked better. I know it doesn't make sense, but to my untrained eye, that's just how things worked out. I'll give the ProRes format a try to see how that looks in comparison to uncompressed.
    Also - I do have the original tapes as my actual archive. This is more a way for me to save the edited sequence so that I can view them as quicktime movies on any of my machines, even those without FCP installed (which is why I avoid saving the FCP project/raw capture files as an archive). Once I mark a project as "complete" I never go back to it in FCP, so an "archived" quicktime movie of my edited sequences is a great archive medium for me.
    Thanks for any additional insight.

  • DVD Production/Compressor/Archiving - Format?

    I've spent a significant amount of time in the last few days on the boards, trying to come up with an answer for this... And while I'm much more educated, I haven't found someone with the exact answer.
    The quick background... We are new to FCP and DVDSP by about 4 months. We are a public school channel, producing video about the good things going on in the district. Our features are mostly short, 2-3 mins, with some longer applications. We had been using an avid, playing in real time to a Canopus Amber card in another PC. The file this would make would be a MPEG-2 that we send to our MVP-2000 to air. We were also able to use this file to burn to DVD using Nero (NOT my choice, but it was easy, and all we had), and for archival purposes
    With our new G5, we are starting to use it for DVD produciton. DVD studio Pro is MUCH better than Nero.
    Yet, I'm having a hard time grasping what I need to do to make the video look good. From FCP, I went to Compressor, and chose the "Best Quality, DVD 90 mins" setting. This gave my settings VBR two pass, Avg. 6.2, Max 7.7, Best motion estimation. The result? Crap. A lot of artifacting.
    This seems pretty consistent with what I'm reading in other user's experiences. So I tried some settings, and the best one I found was using compressor to do a One Pass, 7.2 bit rate, GOP 7, Best motion estimation.
    Yet, this setting is only video, then I have another for audio (obviously...) So I have two files in the end. Not a big deal for DVD production. And they are relatively small, both files totaling about 130 MB for three-ish mins.
    I also tried to avoid compressor, using Export-Quicktime Movie in Final Cut. Then, in DVD SP, telling the encoder to use One pass, 7.2, Best motion estimation. This setting also appeared to work well. And it is nice because I have a quicktime movie file that I can use for multiple things. I can send it to air, I can send it to DVD and DVD SP encodes it properly, AND I can archive the file to disc, AND if I drop it right back into FCP, it's right there, no rendering or anything. Yet, the file is nearly 3 times the size, just under 400MB. Obviously because it's uncompressed.
    SO........ My question becomes... Is there anyone out there with a similar workflow? I like having the quicktime file, simply because there is then ONE file that I have to deal with, and ONE version can do multiple things. Yet, the file size is rather large, and if we do anything longer than a few minutes, that's gonna be one big file...
    Suggestions on how to export from FCP into a format that will work for these different applications?
    Thanks everyone... Hope I've explained my situation thoroughly enough....

    Right about the separate tracks. The nice thing is about the QT file, is that DVD SP separates that out for me, and I kinda like that.
    Good to know about DVD SP having a tendancy to crash. I haven't seen it do this yet, but good to know it's out there.
    Yea, I see there is a lot more control in compressor than DVD SP. Yet, if I can do a simple QT movie and have DVD SP encode it, it helps my workflow a bit, only having one step to encode for archive, DVD, and air.
    So let me ask this... The reason I like having one file to "do it all" is because it seems to make it easy. Encoding with the canopus before, we would have that MPEG file on our PC, and we could archive those to CD every so often. If someone comes back to us in a few months and says "Hey, can I get a DVD of that Show Choir performance", I have most likely ditched the media from my drive. So all I have to do is open my database to find the CD it's on, get that disc, and import the file back onto the computer, and burn using Nero, and it's finished.
    Keep in mind that we don't burn a copy of every performance/story to it's own DVD. If we did that, and someone wanted a copy in 3 months, we could just dub that disc. Yet, we don't do that because we will get requests for certain stories to be on the same disc.
    We also archive everything we do to full size DV CAM tapes. So, yes, we could re-import the finsihed video when someone wants a copy of something, but why do that if we can already have a digital file (Our MPEG file) on a CD already.
    So, I suppose my question becomes... If I want to stay using the same workflow of having one file to work with, do I just have to get used to the fact that my QT files will be huge? Or is there a way in File-Export-Using QT conversion that I can shrink that file by half or two thirds and not loose a lot of quality?
    Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

  • Unrecognized video format

    I made a video using photo booth last night and for some strange reason when i click to play it, the window pops up saying unable to retrieve file due to an unrecognized format. The video i made was really long probably over an hour would that have something to do with it? Please help me I would like to watch this video. Is there any way i can fix this problem? 

    Can you send the Wikepedia link, I don't see it there.
    Link was included above. (I.e., press the word Wikipedia in my first response). HDV.IDX file is support file. Actual video is in .MPG files. Don't know if VLC requires all .IFO, .CTR, .IDX, and .MPG files or not. (I.e., not sure if VLC reads it as a disc or as a "Title" set of files.)

Maybe you are looking for
