Lennart_T Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share 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.

Richy_Boy Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share 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.. Rich Edited October 2, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy_Boy Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
