[Solved] Syntax error with mx-snapshot

Message

#1 Post by **gosia** » Wed Apr 29, 2020 8:55 am

if I exclude the home directory in mx-snapshot (reset account), it aborts after a short time with the error message

"Die Datei linuxfs konnte nicht erstellt werden, überprüfen Sie bitte, ob genug Speicherplatz frei ist."

(The file linuxfs could not be created, please check if enough disk space is available)

Snapshot to /media/kb/LBACK/snapshot

Code: Select all

$ df -h

/dev/sdb2       481G    368G   89G   81% /media/kb/LBACK

But I think this error message is wrong and only occurs because the script aborts with syntax errors. The cause is probably these texts "!(minstall.desktop)" in the command line.

A complete snapshot (without reset account) runs through without problems

What mx-snapshot version? I wonder if this is not an old bug that it's already been fixed.

#3 Post by **gosia** » Wed Apr 29, 2020 3:18 pm

mx-snapshot 20.4

I've just tried creating a Snapshot with Reset Account checked, and it completed without error.

You might not have the same environment and selected the exact settings, I will have to test with multiple users with different LANG settings.

Thanks for confirming, I found the bug, it's the quoting of the string, it's missing if you have more than 2 users on the system. I will fix it, the package will come soon in the repo.

Thanks. That was fast.

Yeah, there's a difference between the two computers. One has three users, the other has only one.

#9 Post by **Adrian** » Wed Apr 29, 2020 5:11 pm

OK, it should be fixed, if you want to try
https://github.com/MX-Linux/mx-snapshot ... _amd64.deb

Otherwise whenever it hits the repos...
