Lennart_T 152 Report post Posted October 1, 2010 It looks like you need Red Hat Linux: http://www.roxio.com/enu/support/retrospect/software_updates.html I have NO idea about the differences (if any) between Red Hat and Ubuntu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richy_Boy 18 Report post Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) Yes you can.. but out the box Retrospect doesn't support .deb based linux. You need to convert the linux installer to a deb. Drop me a PM with your email address and I'll send my copy which works fine on Ubuntu. Alternatively, there's a how-to in the suggestions area I think..

Richy_Boy 18 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Right, I've just uploaded it some a random online hosting account: http://www.mediafire.com/file/4kub55mdapd01tj/retroclient_7.6.100-2_i386.deb Simply copy to your ubuntu server (tmp folder is fine) and run the command: sudo dpkg -i retroclient_7.6.100-2_i386.deb It'll ask for the connection password - job done. To stop and start the services you can use the following command: sudo /etc/init.d/rcl stop sudo /etc/init.d/rcl start *******@edgeubuntusvr04:/etc/init.d$ ./rcl status Server "Ubuntu Server 4": Version 7.6.100 back up according to normal schedule currently on readonly is off exclude is off 0 connections, 0 authenticated *******@edgeubuntusvr04:/etc/init.d$ Hopefully this helps someone. Admins, feel free to add this to your downloads page, it'll help a LOAD of people. Rich Edited October 5, 2010 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
