I think I just discovered that the "fix" I proposed won't work (or it will only work once) because when Timeshift runs, it rewrites /etc/cron.d/timeshift-hourly to be the default again, so my script will never run again.
I am now focusing on on an independent script, called timeshift- watchdog, which runs at about 10 minutes past each hour, and detects stale timeshift runtime state and other evidence of crash etc., does the cleanup, and emails the User. I see no other alternative until timeshift gets better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2141449 Title: Timeshift scheduled snapshots silently fail due to incorrect cron command, misleading GUI, and lack of error reporting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/timeshift/+bug/2141449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
