Willem & all, using lynx with the entire given url, it apparrently tried to untar the file but lost the namesomewhere. But when reduced the url to the dir level, could then select the file and "d" ownload it then untar etc. no problems. It created .config/ranger/ and assorted files as shown below. However when running ranger as "fowle" user, standard user, and from the /home/fowle directory, got a series of errors about keymap having no modifiers.then that console would not accept any keystrokes including ctrl-c. It did start to show a 2 panel ranger display, but could not maneuver through it or exit. Had to go to another console and kill the process. did I miss a step? Below the .config/ranger/ directory listing. total 124 drwxr-xr-x 2 fowle fowle 4096 Jun 30 10:14 . drwxr-xr-x 10 fowle fowle 4096 May 5 23:33 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 fowle fowle 13 Jun 29 05:12 bookmarks -rw-r--r-- 1 fowle fowle 32884 May 5 23:35 commands.py -rw-r--r-- 1 fowle fowle 39039 May 5 23:46 commands.pyo -rw-r--r-- 1 fowle fowle 30 Jun 29 05:12 history -rw-r--r-- 1 fowle fowle 0 Jun 30 10:14 rangerprefsdir -rw-r--r-- 1 fowle fowle 15914 May 5 23:46 rc.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 fowle fowle 8609 May 5 23:35 rifle.conf -rwxr-xr-x 1 fowle fowle 3470 May 5 23:35 scope.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 fowle fowle 0 May 5 23:33 tagged Thanks tom On Tue, Jun 30, 2015 at 06:30:36AM -0500, Kelly Prescott wrote: > I suspect what you all are seeing is that what ever you are using to download just is decompressing the archive for you. > Just use tar to extract the archive like so: > Tar xf file.tar > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Speakup [mailto:speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hart Larry > Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2015 5:53 AM > To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. > Subject: Re: My Ranger preferences > > Well Tony, I ran an ls -l here's what it says ls -l ranger_prefs.tar > -rw------- 1 chime chime 70733 Jun 29 06:40 ranger_prefs.tar Also some1 else on this list clicked through from Mut like I did in Pine. I wouldn't think Pine would automaticly read contents of a .tar file as practicly regular text. Maybe it would be more universal creating a zip.
