Hello Backuppc Users,
1st of all: I use Backuppc for years and it is a very good tool.
When I upgraded Kubuntu 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS at the beginning of Septemer 24
I got some nasty problems:
* The upgrade itself was not so easy as hoped
* Then backuppc didn't work at all: In firafox I got the message "not
ARRAY" and nothing happened.
* Even after restoring the backup to 22.04 LTS and reinstalling backuppc
there still was nothing
After very long time I found a hint in a backuppc installation document:
Whenever you change something in the browser (e.g. WakeupSchedule) then there
are bracketts in arrays changed form [ ] or { } to ( ) and backuppc can't start
anymore.
So there is the possibility to reactivate backuppc when you correct the
packuppc file "config.pl. When it is overcorrected then rsync doesn't work and
gives error messages.
Here I give you the correct notation of the arrays in config.pl (I only saw 4):
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [ ... ]
$Conf{CgiNavBarLinks} = [ ... ]
$Conf{CgiStatusHilightColor} = { ... }
$Conf{CgiUserConfigEdit} = ( ... )
If you want to change something that involves config.pl like your
WakeupSchedule there are 2 possibilities:
Either
* you change it in the browser in the chapter config.
* Then you have to correct the entries in your config.pl file manually (at
least the 1st 3, do not change the CgiUserConfigEdit)
* restart backuppc
or
- you change the WakeupSchedule manually with an editor like kate,
nano, etc
- after saving of the config.pl file you have to restart backuppc
O.K. This should help us to get out of the upgrade mess!
Kind regards
Chris
