How to uncompress *.tar.gz archive with p7zip (or gunzip)?

pstein-JavaNetApr 7 2015 — edited Apr 7 2015

How do I uncompress a.tar.gz archive with p7zip?

I tried the following (as root from directory /tmp):

  p7zip -d "/media/Backup Full/logfiles2014.03.tar.gz"

without success. p7zip tells me: "unknown suffix"

Even (as root from /tmp directory)

  gunzip -d "/media/Backup Full/logfiles2014.03.tar.gz"

does not work. I was told "No such file or directory"

But I am sure the path to DVD is correct. I can see it in File Browser

So how else can I uncompress a *.tar.gz (to /tmp folder)?

I guess the extracted output should automatically be put in the directory where p7zip/gunzip is started.

If an additional output directory parameter is necessary then the output should go to /tmp
