Could you post the "noob"-version of how to download/install that on my Pi?

mk01 · 5th Feb, 2014, 10:40 PM

@Smultie

you mean

Code:

cd /usr/sbin

sudo -s

rm btrfs-auto-snapshot

wget https://raw.github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-package-config-shell/master/content/usr/sbin/btrfs-auto-snapshot

chmod +x btrfs-auto-snapshot

echo "YOU ARE DONE"; exit

but how IriDium posted it is the only way "correct". because will manage also other aspect as dependencies etc.
so this wget is fine just for this one case!

You improved your Zip-alghoritm!!
Now, instead of 20bytes it creates no file at all Smile

─[Config > Backup /home to file]────────────┐

P.s. btrfs-auto-snapshot went from 27kb to 183kb in size, is that correct?

@Smultie

to be honest as non-liker of GUI interfaces I just tested

Code:

btrfs-auto-snapshot backuphome

but you are right, there is probably more to do.

hmm, for me it is currently in progress and file is growing... currently 100mb. should be 300m. lets see.

I'll just wait, but what about the filesize: btrfs-auto-snapshot went from 27kb to 183kb

HHm, apparantly it created a folder named /xbmc/backup instead of it's normal place. That might help you backtrack the problem?

mk01 · 5th Feb, 2014, 11:17 PM

it finished, prepares file, but returns failed and xbian-config informs you and removes file.

will update.

**Smultie** · 5th Feb, 2014, 11:23 PM

Over here:

If you just tell me the noob-friendly way to check it, I'm more than willing Wink

you downloaded the webpage generated look, .html. not the raw file.
(but it happened because I posted wrong link. it must be raw.github.com)
((corrected previous post))

It is still the same as when you asked for PM, then for previous fix today and again now.

If I would update more files, or the procedure would change, I would tell you. Don't be affraid.

**Smultie** · 6th Feb, 2014, 12:04 AM

Okay, kinda figured that out by myself. It's currently running.
Just a small noob-question: When I download a file from raw.github it most of the times gets saved as a .1 or .2 extended file.
How to deal with those?

mv oldfile oldfile.old
mv oldfile.1 oldfile

?

mk01 · 6th Feb, 2014, 12:08 AM

@Smultie,

you see? that;s why don't should be putting any "hacks" on the forum Smile

old file should be removed before new is downloaded, otherwise wget is renaming - so yes, your "mv" commands are pefect. updated (again) previous post with wgettting the file.

so again: the right way in easiest way simply to update / install the package.

**Smultie** · 6th Feb, 2014, 12:10 AM

I don't see a modification in http://forum.xbian.org/thread-427-post-20653.html#pid20653
Is that the post you meant?

mk01 · 6th Feb, 2014, 12:19 AM

because you are clicking refresh faster than myself editing text, committing, pushing git, updating apt repository and regenerating indexes.

you have to forgive me for this Wink
