RS exits when run in terminal

Fri Jan 24, 2014 4:00 am

I noticed this a long while ago but haven't had time to ask about it.

when I run refractasnapshot in terminal (not the -gui) the program never gets further than showing my disk allocation table and then it exits, da-daa, when I hit enter. so because of that I just use the gui. but to run in terminal would be nice.

Code:
Filesystem SizeUsedAvailUse%  Mounted
rootfs 13G5.5G6.2G47%  /
/dev/disk/by-uuid/a76b5605-bc43-4fe7-a4d8-bce0877e2819 13G5.5G6.2G47%  /
/dev/sda6 7.2G5.1G1.7G76%  /home
/dev/sda8 18G13G3.9G77%  /....
/dev/sda2 85G58G28G69%  /...
/dev/sda3 94G53G41G57%  /....
/dev/sdb2 1.4G863M564M61%  /......

    Press ENTER to proceed or hit ctrl-c to exit. 


I installed the beta6_all just now and same thing happens. anything I need to check?

/var/log/refractasnapshot_errors.log is empty file

"beta6_all" is an installer package, not a snapshot package. Here's the latest refractasnapshot-base package -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/refract ... b/download

And the gui package -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/refract ... b/download

And yes, the version numbers are not identical, but they do go together.

Run:
apt-cache policy refractasnapshot-base
refractasnapshot -v
refractasnapshot -d

The first two will tell what version is installed, and the third will run the program in debug mode. Everything it does will be recorded in the error log. I just tried it with 9.0.9-5 and 9.0.9-7, and it worked fine. The next thing after it reports disk space and you hit ENTER should be "Running updatedb..."

What distro are you running? Refracta, straight debian, or something else?

oops, correct, the beta is the installer :)

installed the base 9.0.9-7 and the problem is gone

I now get
-e\nRunning updatedb...\n

cheers, this app is extremely useful!
