Install python-progress bar

Troubleshooting
1

Hi,

i want to use GCP (an enhanced version of cp which shows progress and speed)

I managed to install gcp fine (which is about the limits of my linux command line knowledge) , but it doesnt show the progress bar (presumably because python progress bar isnt installed). when i try to install that i get:

`
[root@rockstor yum.repos.d]# yum install python-progressbar

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@rockstor yum.repos.d]#

What is my next step?

yeah, i can read…

i just couldnt figure out how to install python 2.6…

in the end i have found an alternative solution

I didn’t mean it like that, just letting you know the answer was right in front of you. Cheers

You can compile from source and install into /opt but there don’t appear to be any packages for 2.6 on Cent anymore.

Otherwise Midnight Commander still works pretty well and has a progress bar or there is rsync -aP

yeah i found midnight commander,

while looking i found loads of discussions online about using PV and all sorts… then CV to monitor the CP… and finally in passsing one thread i found mentioned midnight commander, which does exactly what i wanted!

thanks :slight_smile:
