Hello.
i have tried to flash sailfish many times now but no luck.
starting flashing by opening terminal on n9 and typing:
tar --numeric-owner -xvjf sailfish.tar.bz2 -C /sailfish/
everything goes fine until this comes:
tar: can't open ' ./usr/share/man/man3/autodie: :exception: :system.3pm.gz' : invalid argument
i have installed everything what instructions says but still im getting this :/
hope you can help me
Two things that may or may not have some effect here;
1.) I always bunzip2 the *bz2 files on my PS and only transfer the uncompressed TAR files to device.
2.) I think you need to put the doubledash options after the file mode operations (read, write, check) so it would become like this:
tar -xvf sailfish.tar --numeric-owner -C /sailfish/
ok now i have downloaded file again and checked md5 and everything seems to be fine but during flashing still getting the same error!
any ideas?
So it starts to extract the archive until at some point it comes to that error and then it bails out?
Are you running out of space, maybe your ALT_OS is really small?

If I remember right N9 tar doesnt know how to uncompress bz2 correctly, so you need to send tar or tar.gz file on device if you want to extract it from the device. Or you can just mount the partition to your linux machine and use bz2 extraction from there.
i have exracted .tar from bz2 file so i can send only .tar file but still getting same problem :/
How much of the archive is extracted before it glitches?
What's the last thing to go correctly?
Which image are you trying to extract, did you try others?
Did you try to mount the ALT_OS partiton to outside host and extract to there?
