I am new to Linux and I am trying to install AMD drivers on my system. For this I downloaded the file from AMD website. It is called amdgpu-pro-17.30-465504.tar.xz
. In the website it says that I have to extract the file using the following command
tar -Jxvf amdgpu-pro-17.30-450654.tar.xz
But when I do this, I am getting the following error.
username@Lenovo:~/Downloads$ tar -Jxvf amdgpu-pro-17.30-465504.tar.xz
xz: (stdin): File format not recognized
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
How can I install extract it? What is the cause of this error?
tar -xvf amdgpu-pro-17.30-450654.tar.xz
(without the J)? Could the file be damaged or given the wrong extension?file amdgpu-pro-17.30-465504.tar.xz
to check what it is.
