Hi All,

This file
     betterbird-140.2.0.9.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.xz

Extracts just fine with File Roller (I am writing
you on the extracted file).

But I can't seem to get the syntax correct with tar,
"x" or "j".  Supposedly it is an "x":

https://search.brave.com/search? q=who+do+i+detar+.tar.xz&summary=1&conversation=babc93477f2bd037589b14


$ tar xjvf /home/CDs/Linux/Thunderbird/betterbird-140.2.0.9.en-US.linux- x86_64.tar.xz

bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now


$ tar xzvf /home/CDs/Linux/Thunderbird/betterbird-140.2.0.9.en-US.linux- x86_64.tar.xz

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now


What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks,
-T



oooops, forgot to include:
     tar-1.35-4.fc41.x86_64
     file-roller-44.5-1.fc41.x86_64
