linux tar.gz version problem with permissions on directories

[kabutor]

I think there are some problem with the packed tar.gz linux version if I try to untar it, it's complaining about permissions.

I find out that none of the directories are marked as execution so you can't even enter into them, I try to unpack it using another tools but I still find problems with other folders, and I can't even run it.

I package this with Windows as I no longer run Linux on my computers atm, maybe that's the issue. Have you tried sudoing it?

I tried as root on a VM (not comfortable at all untaring a file as root, not something no one should do) and I can untar and run (after I made openssubtitle_downloader executable)

I can't run as normal user but I can as root (also something no one should do) as user: /opensubtitles-uploader: error while loading shared libraries: libnw.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Tried exporting the lib path as a user and get a different crash

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:./lib

./opensubtitles-uploader 
[0723/120101.090341:ERROR:icu_util.cc(248)] Couldn't mmap icu data file
[0723/120101.090413:FATAL:content_main_delegate.cc(35)] Check failed: false. 
#0 0x7fe57526e3b9 (/root/tmp/subs/lib/libnw.so+0x4c6e3b8)

Aborted

Not sure what's the problem I guess is a permissions problem, mainly because as root it works, I am not running this as root in outside of a VM

You should use for taring the files: tar -czf subs.tar.gz --owner=0 --group=0 --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions <folder_name>

Or something like that, never distributed nothing with tar, so not sure

Thanks

If anyone else has this problem the way to fix it is: As root: Untar Make executable $ chmod 755 opensubtitles-uploader change owner to your normal user (kabutor for example) $ chown kabutor:users * -R

Then as your normal user, just run this commmand several times, until it changes the permission to all the directorys. Just repeat until there is no error from the directory that contains the program find ./ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} +

That should fix the permissions, and then you can run it as normal user
