Gargoyle Forum

Downloaded gargoyle_1.14.0-x86-64-generic-ext4-combined.img.gz to have a play in a virtualbox virtual machine.
Tried Archive manager and Peazip in Linux Mint both failed. So I tried the console, and it unarchived, but mentions garbage at the end, why is there garbage in it?

gzip: gargoyle_1.14.0-x86-64-generic-ext4-combined.img.gz: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored

Peazip also mentioned something about garbage at the end of the file but did not extract it.

The image seems to work, so not sure what the garbage is all about.

Image metadata is written to the end of the compressed file. This is used during the sysupgrade process.

The decompression works fine, trailing garbage is ignored by all unzip programs written "well".

When you go to sysupgrade in the future do not unzip, just upload it as is.

Thanks that explains it.

The two Linux Mint GUI unarchivers I tried didn't, unfortunately.

I don't, I only needed to get the .img file so I could load it in a Virtualbox VM, after conversion to vdi.

Works in the VM and have had a play at adding a button to the Openvpn section to do the regenerate crl thing you told me about the the other section. With assistance from Google AI.
Surprisingly it has helped me get a button on the page, but no luck getting it to do anything. I think I get how its supposed to work, but it doesn't.

What have you got so far? Happy to help out
