Jul 14, 2010I'm working directly in an Ubuntu Virtual Machine (VM). Some updates (like kernel) were available at the update manager.If I weren't using a VM, I wouldn't update it since it's a risk to break something. Since it's a VM, you can create a Snapshot or export an appliance and restore if something goes wrong.Suppose I'm not using a VM with a Debian/Ubuntu installation. Is there a install-restore approach that doesn't depend in a VM configuration to restore your system exactly before an upgrade (Like a "Restore Point" in Windows), being easy to restore like a VM appliance?

Sep 20, 2010I have some program that I want to run but I am not sure if it is going to do anything malicious. I have an old ubuntu pc which I am using to run it.
I know in Windows you have save a restore point where the registry and some other stuff (it's all mysterious to me) gets backed up and can be restored to later. Is there a similar concept in Linux? Can I bring my filesystem to where it was before I ran this program?

Ubuntu :: Backup System A, To Restore System B?
Jan 25, 2011Recently I've backupped my entire /home folder on my laptop with grsynch trough ssh.Since I already had a simply text file containing all installed programs, I figured 'then, when i go from the backup trough my desktop, all my program settings will be restored if i run the txt file to install all those programs first.So i installed al programs, then i went from backup to /home on desktop, logged out and back in. Started up a random program (tried thunderbird and filezilla) and no settings were to be found.In retrospect, docky did start, but didnt have all the launchers i had on my laptop. so that could have been a clue.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: How To Create 10.4 System Restore
Aug 11, 2010First off, Ubuntu 10.4 is working great on my new laptop and I really enjoy it. And it is super fast. My question is now that I have everything all set up, all my packages, my windows settings, and my ATI driver, my updates, etc., I want to be able to keep it all. Maybe somebody could point me in the right direction or give me some better terminology. Would love to learn more about distros in the future. For now I just don't want to have to do all this updating again. There are a few things I have found like Clonezilla and others, but they seem to be a bit advanced and more for servers.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: System Restore Problem
Sep 8, 2010A friend has a netbook running a dual boot setup with Ubuntu (9.10, I think) and Windows XP. She recently decided to run system restore on the Windows partition and can't boot into Windows anymore. I told her I would help her fix it tonight, but before she gets here I figured it would probably be helpful to ask if this is a well known issue and if anyone has any suggestions on the best method of fixing it.
I planned on first making sure the grub is targeting the Windows partition correctly, but I suspect the problem could be that the system restore point she used was one from before she had a linux partition. If that is the case does anyone know if this could potentially destroy the windows installation?
Ubuntu :: Restore The System To Gui Mode?
Oct 20, 2010I was installing mail server on a desktop for just experimentation using sudo tasksel command. I selected the second option that says mail sending using internet. During installation it asked for something about phpmyadmin, which was already installed on my system. I selected no, and then during installation it removed all the utilities from my system and now system startups in terminal mode. I have some very important data on that system that i can't afford to lost. please help me out so that i can again start the system in normal graphical mode or tell me a way so that i can transfer my data to anyother media.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Point To Point (ad-hoc) SSH Over USB Or Ethernet?
Jun 3, 2010I was wondering if there is any way to SSH from one computer to another and completely bypass a router or any other network infrastructure. The reason I ask is because my robot ( same one in this post ) often needs to change which wireless network it automatically connects to, however it is getting annoying to have to drag out a monitor and plug it in along with a keyboard and mouse every time this needs to happen. Instead I'd much rather just plug my laptop into the other computer, SSH in and change the network myself.
So I thought I would ask you kind people if this is possible. The robot's computer has unused ethernet and USB ports, and I'd like to use those if at all possible (and with linux, anything is possible! -- sorta). I thought about doing something with ad-hoc, but this would limit my range (in infrastructure mode I can control the thing anywhere there is internet), and is to be avoided.
Networking :: Policy Routing Using Two Point-to-point Links?
Aug 27, 2009This one has been driving me nuts for some days now:My Gentoo box which is acting as an internet gateway has two point-to-point interfaces, ppp0 (PPPoE to my ISP) and ppp1 (PPTP VPN link to IPREDator). Packets from my local network are just routed through ppp0 and now the fun part starts: I want to MARK (netfilter...) all packets originating from one specific user on that box in order to use another routing table that will contain a default route via the ppp1 interface.Marking seems to work fine as does the second routing table. But quite mysteriously (at least for me), the packets sent out on ppp1 contain the wrong source IP address, namely the address associated with ppp0.So here is what ifconfig and friends tell me:Network interfaces:
Code:
# ifconfig ppp0

Ubuntu :: Equivalent To System Restore Like Windows ?
Mar 14, 2010Does Ubuntu have an equivalent to system restore like windows?
I just want to know what the best way is to save everything , as in settings and programs etc. , just in case there's some sort of major failure.
Any ghosting programs that will allow me to save the last known good configuration? or clone the entire drive?
Since I've been using Ubuntu I haven't run into any major screwups like with windows , but there are some times I've installed it and it took a while to get different things working. I don't want to have to go through the whole process again if there's ever a major malfunction.

May 15, 2010I am new in Ubuntu. I wanted to know if there is a System Restore available out there in which is equivalent of RollbackRX [URL].. freeware or shareware.
RollbackRX used to backup/restore OS system changes.
It is able to backup/restore system in less than 1 minute.
It is able to backup with a little amount of disk size.
Feature Needed:
Pre-Boot Snapshot Backup

I currently used this application in my Windows XP system. And I am happy having it. I used to modify my XP a lot and sometimes forcing myself to restore my system (using rollbackrx) because It is unbootable/freezing/sudden restart. It does save me a lot of time, especially those critical moments. I am hopeful that there is available variant of this one for Ubuntu.
Ubuntu :: Backup And Restore A Triple-boot System?
Jun 14, 2010best/simplest way to back up my triple-boot machine, which has Karmic 32-bit, Karmic 64-bit and Windows 7 (64-bit) installed on 3 equal slices of the internal 1TB disk. There are a total of 6 partitions (1 primary+1 logical partition each for the two Karmic, and 2 primary partitions for Win7), and I would like to back it up on an external disk such that the whole system can be restored as-is by writing over the disk. I guess this means correctly backing up data+partition table+MBR, and I would also prefer backing up only the used portion of the disk (rather than creating a 1TB mostly empty image file).
To my knowledge the only way to reliably do this is with "dd" command, but I have never used it ("fsarchiver" seems to be the next best option, but it cannot back up MBR yet; and "partimage" does not have ext4 support). As described here and here, I should run the following commands from a live boot:
1) To back up entire data in compressed format (using 1MB read block to speed up the process):
dd if=/dev/sda bs=1MB | gzip > /backup/image.gz
2) To back up MBR+partition table (stored within the first 512 bytes of the disk):
dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 of=/backup/image.mbr
3) To restore data:
gzip -dc /backup/image.gz | dd of=/dev/sda
4) To restore MBR+partition table:
dd if=/backup/image.mbr of=/dev/sda

Mar 23, 2011I recently had to restore my system via clonezilla due to hdd failure. I frequently back up my /etc/apt folder as well as some other configuration files and settings that I use in my system to bring my restored image up to date with my ever changing preferences, etc.
I noticed the problem when I replaced the etc/apt folder with my backup version. After replacing the folder, I ran 'sudo apt-get update' and imported a list of all my previously installed software. Then I ran 'sudo apt-get upgrade'. I didn't get any errors at all during any part of the update and upgrade process.Then this popped up in my panel, and won't seem to go away.
