Cannot open bootchart.svgz

I've installed bootchart with

$sudo pacman -S bootchart

then I've used

$sudo pacman -S java-runtime

to get bootchart-render work correctly. Then I've configured my /boot/grub/menu.lst and addedm the "init=/sbin/bootchartd" option...
everythings seems to work, I found a /var/log/bootchart.tgz file....so I ran bootchar-render....no apparent error...and.......
.....the output picture is just impossible to open, with both inkscape and gimp....

I've also tried a script found somewhere in the Arch wiki/forum, but with no result...
ideas? (dunno if is relevant, but the java-runtime package is in conflict with jre, wich I temporally removed)

Re: Cannot open bootchart.svgz

When I run "bootchart-render" in terminal, it sends a bootchart.png to whatever directory I'm currently in terminal

Re: Cannot open bootchart.svgz

Open up a terminal, type bootchart-render. This should output --> Wrote image: ./bootchart.png
Forget about /var/log; Open up your home folder, should be a bootchart.png. If not, then i don't know why.

Re: Cannot open bootchart.svgz

Well....i've created a new directory under my home, then runbootchart-render from VC2 (not gnome-terminal) and it works!

Re: Cannot open bootchart.svgz

Edit the bootchart-render script in /usr/bin

I've changed mine to:

# !/bin/sh
java -jar /usr/share/bootchart/bootchart.jar -f png

The -f switch will let you specify different file format, svg is the default.

Re: Cannot open bootchart.svgz

.svgz is a compressed vector image i think. inkscape/inkview should be able to render it

I know...but it doesn't....I've also tried it with other pc and distos....but no result...mayby there's something wrong with the bootchart render...which have some rendering error...

Re: Cannot open bootchart.svgz

I can confirm that I had the same problem. It seems that x86_64 bootchart is "vanilla" while i686 is edited to put out .png files.

OT:
While processing I got:

Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".

Wasn't that repaired by newest X? Or x86_64 has older packages?

Whatever I do, I always end up with something horribly mis-configured.
