PPA Install fails on Ubuntu 18.04, #905
Comments

Not necessarily a solution to the problem, but a suggestion to bypass the obstacle: Would an update of the Ubuntu LTS you access be an option? Because -- according to the package index -- with the release of focal (20.04 LTS), timeshift became available directly from Ubuntu's repositories. And some time in summer, the point release 22.04.1 for jammy will become available, too. |

Thanks,
I will be upgrading to *focal* (20.04 LTS) as soon as I get this estate put
to bed [going on 2.5 years].
This happened because I decided I needed to get my wife's computer's OP
system backed-up properly and since TimShift has been working just fine for
some time on my laptop. I had a moment I could fit in downloading FWbackup
and TimeShift, and hook up the terabyte. Well one moment that sort of grew
. . .. They tend to do that to me.
Gives you some indication of my reluctance to upgrade Ubuntu in the middle
of a sometimes time sensitive major task.
Do you think the one version older Deb would be adequate for the meantime,
or problematic?
A deb tends to remove my dyslictic instruction following from the task.
Again thanks for the suggestion.

Sorry for the late reply.
I want to give it a try, just need to get a couple of avalanches diverted
first.
I Hope to be able to give you a result by this weekend.
Again thanks for the effort and help.

I retrieved by running lsb_release -a from the terminal. The kernel is
older than the one in your report (Linux 4.15.0-96-generic (x86_64)).
From timeshift's release page
<https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift/releases>, I fetch the .deb for
the 64bit OS by Nov 16, 2020 which is timeshift_20.11.1_amd64.deb
<https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift/releases/download/v20.11.1/timeshift_20.11.1_amd64.deb>
which eventually will be installed by
sudo dpkg -i timeshift_20.11.1_amd64.deb
without an additional ppa.
*However*, a first attempt to get this running failed because of two
unresolved dependencies. Thus, in LTS 18.04
1.
install two btrfs related packages from the terminal by
sudo apt-get install btrfs-prgs btrfs-tools
2.
then enter the folder with the timeshift .deb downloaded, and issue
sudo dpkg -i timeshift_20.11.1_amd64.deb
to install timeshift on top.
These two steps provided a new entry in the program pulldown menu and a
functional timeshift to backup data of the OS. (For the real user data
stored within /home, my preference goes to luckybackup
<http://luckybackup.sourceforge.net/> and vorta/borg
<https://github.com/borgbase/vorta>.)

From
https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift
Used
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/timeshift
got
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY DD3C368A8DE1B7A0
E: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/rolfbensch/sane-release/ubuntu/dists/bionic/InRelease 403 Forbidden [IP: 91.189.95.85 80]
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/rolfbensch/sane-release/ubuntu bionic InRelease' is no longer signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
Thought instructions on other sites might have been the problem, so came to GitHub. This is the same message I got with instructions from other sites.
Will install from older deb. hope a deb for this version is available soon.
If more needed, let me know, will do my best to help.
