Any reasonable way to make partclone work?
So for context, I moved from OpenSuse Tumbleweed to Bazzite recently and as a precaution I took a CloneZilla backup image. However, since I've never done that before, I didn't realize I need the partclone utility to be able to restore and gain access to the files in the image. And since it's not in the Bazzite image or available as a Flatpak I tried to install it via rpm-ostree, but trying to run it fails with:
open logfile /var/log/partclone.log error
So should I just forget about partclone and try to recreate the configs I had from scratch, or is there a somewhat reasonable way to make partclone work?Solution:Jump to solution
but in case anyone else finds this thread: using the command line option
-L partclone.log solves the issue since that will create the log file in the current directory instead of in /var6 Replies
try distrobox
thanks, what's the difference between, say, ubuntu and ubuntu-toolbox images?
never mind, searched it up myself and it seems like a good idea to use the toolbox specially crafted images
ublue team also have toolbox image that are tailored for distrobox

I think I'll just try to recreate configs instead, I don't have enough free space to restore the image and I am not sure I'd get it into a mountable format anyway
