WHY so complicated , tedious the upgrade ?



edit : according to this site : https://itsfoss.com/backup-restore-linux-timeshift/ , some users say timeshift is not trustworthy !

recommendation for something better ?

Think this post is asked and answered

nope , in this case !

Timeshift works fine in principle. There are some known bugs that will hopefully get fixed in the repo version eventually.

thx dude !

Timeshift works fine in principle, but I suggest you get it directly from the developer's PPA rather than from the Mint repo, see here:

thx for the help , but :

Code: Select all

# add-apt-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa
Adding PPAs is not supported

runnin LMDE !

Yeah, brain fart, of course LMDE does not support PPAs (at least not easily), those are for Ubuntu. Get the .deb from https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift/releases (edited my post above).

My browser doesn't load that link but I assume the .deb doesn't work. In that case best just stick to the repo version or give compiling from source a shot.

Really? That should be fine though, LMDE3 comes with libgtk-3-0 v3.22.11-1

Looks like the error was from trying to use Timeshift before upgrading to LMDE3 which based on posting history is probably the deb version from github and not from the repos.
