RealTimeSync Error Reporting on Ubuntu

[LapisLazuli]

Hi,

Since this link: viewtopic.php?t=3628 has been marked as [SOLVED], and my reply (viewtopic.php?t=3628#p12901) got no anwser there, I'm reposting it as a new post :

In Ubuntu, I use the "Application at startup" GUI Application, and add an entry with the following line (the .ffs_batch being at the root of disk 'mydisk') :

CODE: SELECT ALL
/usr/bin/RealtimeSync /media/myusername/mydisk/myffsfile.ffs_batch
or, as suggested above :
CODE: SELECT ALL
"/usr/bin/RealtimeSync" "/media/myusername/mydisk/myffsfile.ffs_batch"

In both cases, in webmin, the following entry is displayed in System/Running processes :

CODE: SELECT ALL
3257myuser 23:11 /usr/bin/RealTimeSync /media/myusername/mydisk/myffsfile.ffs_batch

This suggests the batch is running correctly.

The batch files is created from a manual one. Manually, it correctly backs one disk up to another. So I would expect that, similarly, after running the batch, whenever a change is made on disk1, it is mirrored to disk2. But this does not happen, disk 2 remains unchanged.

Any hint ?

Thanks and best regards.

I'm having a similar problem except I start Realtimesync by hand instead of though a scheduler. It show process running and every few minutes or so is takes up processor time but nothing ever syncs. I tried placing a gksudo before the command line to get a log in when sync occurs and it never happens, I copied the command line from Realtimesync and pasted it in my terminal. No problem, everything synced just fine. Ergo, Realtimesync appears to not work on Ubuntu 16.04. Any help on this? Something we may be missing perhaps.

Hi,

Nice to see I'm not the only one :-)

Zenju, sounds like we're needing your help on this one :)

Best regards.

RTS is placing a little icon into the notification area. If there's an error of any kind it will start blinking and provide further details on demand. Unless you're somehow running RTS without UI access, in which case neither RTS nor FFS have a chance to interact and things become... complicated...

[Roark]

No notification Icons from either RTS or FFS. They just vanish when you hit start or chose to run in background. They do still have a GUI though.

Oh, and they are still running. I checked that with the task manager. That is, they task continues to run.
