Downloaded fwbackups file but now what? Help?
I downloaded fwbackups and saved to my download file. It shows up in the folder as the following:
/home/jerry/Downloads/fwbackups-1.43.4.tar.bz2 1.6 MB Tar Archive (bzip-compressed)
When I right click on it I get options: Open with Archive Manager, Open with Archive Mounter, Open with other program, and other options. I figured the first option is the usual one and when I opened it I got another screen with other options. I lost my nerve at that point and did not use any of the options given. Perhaps the extract here is correct?

Extract the archive and read the README file for instructions to install from source.
Re: Downloaded fwbackups file but now what? Help?
Cecar,
From the read me file it recommended I go to
I am now at a loss as to what to do next. Can you help with this?
From the read me file it recommended I go to
and follow those instructions as they were the latest.
I did enter at the terminalUbuntu/Mint Linux
To install fwbackups from source on Ubuntu, download the source tarball to your home folder and then open a terminal session (select Applications > System Tools > Terminal). Type the following commands into the terminal:
sudo apt-get install gettext autotools-dev intltool python-crypto python-paramiko python-gtk2 python-glade2 python-notify cron
tar xfj fwbackups-1.43.4.tar.bz2
cd fwbackups-1.43.4
./configure --prefix=/usr
make && sudo make install
Some Ubuntu distributions no longer include the Python "site-packages" directory in their search path, which may prevent fwbackups from starting. If this is the case, execute this code in addition to the code above:
PYTHONVER=$(python -c 'import sys;print "%s.%s" % (sys.version_info[0], sys.version_info[1])')
sudo ln -s ../site-packages/fwbackups /usr/lib/python${PYTHONVER}/dist-packages/fwbackups
and it went to work and did a bunch of stuff. Then I enteredsudo apt-get install gettext autotools-dev intltool python-crypto python-paramiko python-gtk2 python-glade2 python-notify cron
tar xfj fwbackups-1.43.4.tar.bz2
and it said no such file or directory. I wasn't sure if each of those lines should be seperate commands so I triedcd fwbackups-1.43.4 ./configure --prefix=/usr make && sudo make install
and same thing. I then did the PYTHONVER one and it said it was already installed and up to date.cd fwbackups-1.43.4
I am now at a loss as to what to do next. Can you help with this?
Re: Downloaded fwbackups file but now what? Help?
Try line by line like this.
Code: Select all
cd
Code: Select all
cd fwbackups-1.43.4
Code: Select all
./configure --prefix=/usr
Code: Select all
make && sudo make install
Re: Downloaded fwbackups file but now what? Help?
I have a feeling i am not doing this right. Below is what I tried - please advise.
jerry@Jerry-System ~ $ select all
> cd
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `cd'
jerry@Jerry-System ~ $ select all
> cd fwbackups-1.43.4
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `cd'
Then:
jerry@Jerry-System ~ $ cd
jerry@Jerry-System ~ $ fwbackups-1.43.4
fwbackups-1.43.4: command not found
jerry@Jerry-System ~ $ select all cd
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `cd'
jerry@Jerry-System ~ $
Perhaps I do not really understand what I am supposed to do line by line. I tried putting in CODE: SELECT ALL in the terminal line but that was not correct either.

Re: Downloaded fwbackups file but now what? Help?
Yes thats wrong. Do not type in "select all" . The commands is what is below "select all". For example cd.
Re: Downloaded fwbackups file but now what? Help?
Is the below how I do it and if so something must not be right?
jerry@Jerry-System ~ $ cd

jerry@Jerry-System ~ $ ./configure --prefix=/usr

The directory do not exist. Type in
to see if there is a directory by that name.
Code: Select all
ls -l

I found information of that problem here under point 3. http://www.diffingo.com/oss/fwbackups/faq Looks like it's a problem with installed version of Python. See there if there is a solution. Looks a bit complicated. I'm sorry i can't do more to help you on this.
Re: Downloaded fwbackups file but now what? Help?
You have been great. Thank you for all the help you did give.

Hey guys, I know my post is over a year since the last post, but I found this thread helpful while I was experiencing the same issues, and I happened upon a fix. So, Jerry was getting this error. I was getting the same exact error:
We will recall these are the steps to install FWbackups on Linux Mint:
During my install, the "make && sudo make install" gave a long log. At the end of the log, was this:
Notice at the end of this log are a few errors. Notice also it says "cannot create directory ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fwbackups’." When I went to this file, and tried to open it, I got error: "The link fwbackups is broken. Move it to trash? This link cannot be used, because it's target "../site-packages/fwbackups" doesn't exist. Cancel? Move to Trash?" I moved it to the trash. Then I ran this command again: <i>make && sudo make install</i>. Much to my surprise, this fixed the problem! I opened a new terminal, keyed in fwbackups, and it fired up perfectly!
