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/

Perhaps a faulty download of the sailfish.tar.bz2
Try to download again, and also, check md5 sum to check if download is good

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?

1. reflash main and emmc.bin files:
flasher -F main.bin -F emmc.bin -f

2. running this:
flasher -f -F main.bin --erase-user-data=secure -F emmc.bin --erase-mmc=secure

3. flashing openmode kernel

4. flashing moslo kernel (windows regonizing drive that needs to be format before i can use it) so i format it from my pc and says 3.9gb free.

5. moving sailfish.tar.bz2 file into my n9

flashing sailfish:
devel-su, password
cd /home/user/MyDocs
mkdir /sailfish
mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /sailfish
tar --numeric-owner -xvjf sailfish.tar.bz2 -C /sailfish/

...aaand then error pops up.

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?
