Will I be able to use the software to backup an Ubuntu 12 system? I don’t need the systray and other things related to the Ubuntu Unity, I am perfectly happy with the server http interface: just would like to use urbackup to backup all my machines (one Windows, an Ubuntu 13 and an Ubuntu 12, what I cannot upgrade, because it is not mine). Currently only the first 2 work.
Thank you, chluz, you’re brilliant! I succeded to compile the official 1.3.1 client.
I’ll also use it “headlessly”, only from the web interface. The client frontend is known to not work on Ubuntu versions, because of Unity and wxWidgets “incompatibilities”. I think it would be wise to leave the world of taskbar widgets in Linux.
Wow! Not only it compiled, but I could start the taskbar client as well. So that works in the version 12.04 of Ubuntu desktop. I had a “no backup dirs” issue with the server, but otherwise the backup is working for me. I set up the backup paths in the client.
chluz, sorry I couldn’t reproduce (yet) the seg fault issue you encountered. I could not set up the backup dir in the server, as you mentioned, but got no segmentation fault. I’ll write another post about this. Thanks again!
Thanks for trying ! I setup a VM of 12.04 and it worked flawlessly on that by setting the client up through the web interface. I don’t know why the settings aren’t being pushed for you though. If I have time I will try and investigate more.
Actually if Uroni is ok with it, I’m thinking of trying to setup and maintain a repo for ubuntu LTS + latest. I’ve never done this before, and my contribs to projects have never been so involved, but I really like Urbackup and I think its not getting as much attention at it deserves, so I’d like to change that
chluz, I am sorry, for me the web setup of client did not work on 12.04. But it does work on Ubuntu 13.04, although this is another version of the 1.3.1 client. (There is no taskbar GUI though here, so it’s good that one method works out of the 2 in each case;) and I am not using a headless client.)
Been running the client on Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS for a while now (started with the 1.2.1 client, then upgraded to 1.3.1). I didnt have any wx errors when compiling and was able to
setup through the web interface. Not sure why I didnt face this problem?
edit:
PS as a test just now I am able to export my DISPLAY back to my windows machine running cygwinX and can see the urbackup task bar icon appear remotely through the X server, from here
I can right click and confirugre the client for the machine. I havent triied through the actual Ubuntu machines console though as it doesent have one.
Thanks for writing this. What I see is that you have a 64 bit os, while mine is a 32 bit one. I have installed the same packages, following the official instructions from http://urbackup.org/client_debian_ubuntu_install.html . So I have wxWidgets 2.8.12.1-6ubuntu2, for example, but maybe the 32/64 bit makes a difference.
