Open terminal:

Ctrl + Alt + t

cd to that directory

sudo su

Enter your password

tar xvzf filename.tar

This should work!

This might be permission problem. Open terminal window and type in:

  • chmod 777 path-to-that-file
  • This will give you root permissions to open this file.
  • Use archive manager or type in tar xvzf path-to-the-file.
