As the fdisk command is missing on raspi, an error message is displayed but no message is sent via Telegram, despite correct configuration

[akzagain]

Hi,

I am using raspiBackup with DEFAULT_TELEGRAM_NOTIFICATIONS="FM".

Recently I discovered that backups were missing. Manually running the script gave me an error message. RBK0193E: Missing required command 'fdisk sfdisk' and the advice to execute "????". RBK0194E: Required packages are missing. Install them with 'sudo apt-get install util-linux'."

Two things:

1. Why was an error message never sent? Seems a failure, right?
2. You need to run "sudo apt-get install fdisk" to solve the problem.

Cheers!

Would you please attach the debug log?

Please attach the file and don't copy the contents because that's difficult to read for me :-)

[akzagain]

Like this? raspiBackup.log

[framps]

Perfect :-)

[framps]

Why was an error message never sent? Seems a failure, right?

Yes. I have to create a fix.

You need to run "sudo apt-get install fdisk" to solve the problem

Yes. I have to fix the message.

[framps]

@akzagain Please verify the fix.

1) Execute curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/framps/raspiBackup/master/scripts/raspiBackupDownloadFromGit.sh | bash -s -- issue-688 to download the fix into current directory 2) Uninstall fdisk 3) Execute sudo ./raspiBackup.sh - You should get a telegram notification about a failure 4) Install fdisk 5) Execute sudo ./raspiBackup.sh - Backup should succeed

[framps]

@akzagain Please verify the fix :wink:

[akzagain]

Thanks for the heads-up. I've verified it and works fine, thanks! But the advice have twice fdisk. The command should be: sudo apt-get install fdisk

[framps]

But the advice have twice fdisk. The command should be: sudo apt-get install fdisk

I'm sorry. I don't get your point. Would you please elaborate on this a bit more?

[akzagain]

When the scripts detects the missing fdisk command, it advises to install it. That advice tells that the command to execute is "sudo apt-get install fdisk fdisk" instead of "sudo apt-get install fdisk".

[framps]

Got it now. Thank you

[framps]

Merged into master

[framps]

Fix undone in 0.6.9 because option -U et al caused faiures.
