Partimage invalid compression level workaround

By
For some reason, some diskimages created using partimage will encounter "invalid compression level" when restored. See below for the workaround to restore the image back.

#: ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
#: mv /mnt/windows/img/vista.img.000 /mnt/windows/img/vista.img.gz
#: gunzip -c /mnt/windows/img/vista.img.gz | partimage restore /dev/sda1 stdin

~ts

I am not really sure but I believe "stdin" represents the standard input device which in the case the the keyboard.

Anyway, did you perform "mv /mnt/windows/img/vista.img.000 /mnt/windows/img/vista.img.gz"?

On ntfs partition I run gunzip image file and then used the decompressed image in Partimage.

The following add-ins could not be started MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform

By
Installing MonoDevelop in OpenSUSE 12.2 from its repository was very easy. When running it for the first time though I got the message: The following add-ins could not be started: The root of the trace shows MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform,2.8 A quick search shows that MonoDevelop depends on libgnomeui . This should have been part of dependencies when installing the application but well.... Below is the screen shot of the error message. References: http://software.1713.n2.nabble.com/MonoDevelop-and-openSUSE-12-1-td7462957.html [2013/04/09] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 12.3 and also the same fix. [2014/11/02] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 13.3, mondevelop 3.0.6 and the same fix.

All other packages installed properly except that VirtualBox installation was complaining about missing dkms.conf file, see error message below. $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] * Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules Error!
