Ubuntu :: Simple Back Up Tar Crash In Maverick?
Jan 25, 2011
I have been all morning trying different backup programs: dejavu, backintime and now simple backup. I really liked this last one because it not only backs up the home directory but also critical parts of the file system (var, usb, etc). However I have been unable to make it work. As my configuration, my back-up is about 36Gb+ and should go to a external fat32 drive (a WD passport 300GB btw). Since the drive is fat32 -with a file size limit of 4Gb- my backup can't be made in a single compressed file.
So I configured sbackup to not compress and chunk the backup in 4Gb bits (fat32 setting). However every time I run the backup I got: An error occurred Unable to finish successfully. TAR terminated with errors.
I read in launchpad that this was due to sbackup requiring a new version of tar, so I downloaded natty's deb file and installed it. But it keeps generating the same error. Does anybody have been able to run sbackup in maverick with settings similar to me. If so how?

Luckily I have a testing (dirty) laptop to try new OS's. With every new issue of Ubuntu I have had issues which usually take about a week to stabilize. As was with 10.04 which I had running perfectly in no time. But, as of date, 10.10 has been the worst. This time it simply crashed.After updating I ran 10.10 through some paces which looked OK. Then I went to settings manager, appearance, style, and tried a few new looks when after choosing a particular style the screen went black, and I wound up at my login. After I logged in it simply went black again, and back to login.

The graphical login screen is loaded just fine. Though very shortly after (a moment after the loading screen could be seen) it crashes back to the graphical login. And that happens no matter what wm I'm trying - gnome, kde3, kde4, e16, e17, even twm.
It happened after the logout after a zypper up yesterday morning. Looking through the list of what packages were upgraded (two machines, both last zypper up'ed last Sunday, checked on the second one after the problem with the first one), the only packages which might be responsible are kwin or qt4.
The graphics card seems to be fine (NVidia 9600), as it happens whether or not I use nv or the propietary driver. Also tried reinstalling it from the repo as well as using the binary blob from NVidia. Has been tested on Windows and games are running fine there, so it shouldn't be the card.
What is strange, is that when calling upon sax2 -r from runlevel three, the initial screen loads nicely, but sax2 crashes back to the cli once one presses 'Change Configuration'. No error messages are being printed.
Any pointers on how I can narrow down the cause (and get it fixed)?
Packages:
OpenSuSE 11.2 + KDE 4 factory & enlightenment & qt 4.6 repos
X.Org 7.4-35.3
Kwin 4.3.98-406.6
libqt4 4.6.1+4.6.20100202-1.1
[Code]....

I'm running Fedora 15 with current updates and kernel. I do not have anything special or non-standard about my configuration or setup. I use grsync to sync my home folder files to a remote rsync server on my network. I've checked my hard drives and my memory and everything else I can think. Here is the problem:
grsync will run for some time and once it nears completion it will crash. This, however, is no standard crash. It literally shuts my computer "OFF". I have shared the remote rsync folder through CIFS as well and I can copy those exact same files through nautilus with drag and drop without issue. I have had a few occasions where the rsync process will complete without issue, but this is a rare occasion. Since it powers my computer completely off I do not enjoy the luxury of having any log files or messages to attempt to diagnose from.

10.04
I managed to delete the Volume Applet that appears by default on the task bar. I'm sure it used to be listed in 'Add to Panel' in other version of Ubuntu however I can't see it there in 10.04.
Can someone explain to me how I get it back?

i have noticed that if vista is not the active partition, hybernate does not work. it just goes black and then back to the user icon screen to log back in. another "slight" problem was that i was not able to apply a service pack. after restoring vistas dominance i was able to install the pack. is there any other work arounds for hybernate? even though you might not be interested in cleaning up after microsoft.

I've read a lot about what SSH does, and how to do it on some networks, but none of them quite cover how to do it on just a network with a bunch of computers on it. I have no server or anything, just a router with some computer connected through ethernet or wireless. All of the Ubuntu computer have me as a user, and I want to be able to access any specific one. How do I do this? Also, if I'm not at home, how can I access any of my accounts from whichever computer I wish to access?

I recently installed language packs for Japanese and changed my system language to it, too. The problem is, now that I try to go back to English, the locale doesn't change back, only the menus are in english. "Apply system wide" in the Language Support didn't do anything; Firefox is in japanese too. Here is my locale output:
LANG=ja_JP.utf8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="ja_JP.utf8"

i am very sorry if this has been asked before... i'm sure it has.. but i have searched all over the net looking for an answer and i still cant find it...
I have a really simple cron job script like this:
When i run this manually it works fine but when i run it from my ROOT user in Plesk as a cron task is always creates a file that is just 45 bytes. Why doesn't it work... I am running it as a root user.. so surely i must have permission to access the file?

I have a second HD in my computer for doing a backup onto. All I want is to select a couple of my documents folders and have them copied to it daily. I would like it to add new files and update newly modified ones. I don't want it encrypted or archived, just a basic copy.

in a shutdown script that launches when I click an application launcher in one of my panels. I need this because I use scheduled shutdowns and I want to be able to cancel them quickly and easily if need be.It would be nice to somehow change this so I didn't need to enter my password, but I know it uses sudo and this might be too complicated or impossible.I don't really know that much about making scripts. What extension do you save them as, do you have to mark them as executable, etc. I basically started out with the bin bash or whatever deal at the beginning and then just put in that command.

Have you ever heard of multibooting many distros from the same partition?
Do you need to find a way to install the new Ubuntu 10.04x LTS into an existing partition as another option to multiboot?
Simple, you don't need to download or install any scripts or executables. read on @

does anyone know how to calculate an average in a simple way with bash? I've got something like this:
Code:
$ cat results.txt | head -10 | tr " " " " | cut -f13
0.23929285124
0.404716908011
0.35113102608
[Code]....
and now I want to calculate the average of the resulting numbers. I know I could write a bash or awk or perl script and use that, but isn't there a more simple, elegant way? There is for example "sum" in the coreutils, but no "avg"..
