refracta snapshot and installer

-i386
guess there's no 64bit version....

Will the snapshot correctly copy encrypted partitions with unencrypted partitions? (Say unencrypted / and encrypted /home on separate partitions?)

uh uh uh let me know....

I have no idea if it has a problem with separate partitions.

I guess not as I am totally ignorant in that regard. TOTALLY....

I can change architecture to 'all' but I have no idea if it will matter since my system is 32bit

if i compiled it from source on my machine, would that make it 64bit? (i'm ignorant too....)

down here in va beach we like to use all of our bits -

man I feel dumb...

There is no source as it is just bash commands wrapped up in python with a glade GUI. Actually I guess I should say the code is the source and the source is the code.

You can download the debs, extract them, place the files/folders in the proper place and run them that way too.
You could also download the debs and use dpkg to install and have it ignore the arch.
But as soon as I get a minute I will change the ARCH to 'all' in the control file and build a new little repo.

gotta run and get some food first

thanks (notso)meandean.
enjoy your lunch.

[MeanDean]

architecture for the packages was was changed to 'all' in this repo

Code: Select all

deb http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/refracta/refracta-tools-all/ ./

no idea if it matters or not though....

[bmc5311]

you are one kool kat.
thanks for doing that.

[bmc5311]

paging dr dean, paging dr dean -

any idea what this means?

Code: Select all

rsync: readlink_stat("/home/b?.gvfs") failed: Permission denied (13)

it's what i get when i run refractasnapshot... ??

[MeanDean]

probably something rsync cant handle, if it was me I would just add it to the exclude list...

[nadir]

Or umount it before you run the snapshot. I had such problems with rsync, but that is a while ago.
Are you sure the system is up to date? (i guess the answer is yes, just saying).

I think that is the link i found with the almighty google:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=791693
It is not related to refractasnapshot in peculiar (as far i can tell)

[bmc5311]

rsync doesn't seem to have a problem with it, it gets rsync'd to my backup.

i'll add it to the exclude list -

i googled around a bit - didn't really find anything too helpful.

MeanDean, thank you very much! This sounds awesome! Can't wait to test it.
