The Workarounds you tried are for Ubuntu 22.04 and its older timeshift.
The PPA version is probably currently equivalent with your 24.01.1 from Ubuntu 24.04 and at least with my still Ubuntu 22.04 based distro (PPA) timeshift 24.01.1 and rsync 3.2.7 protocol 31 are working together.
Does the logfile, located at /var/log/timeshift , contain more details (maybe the specific rsync error) ?
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS fresh install. Server, only from terminal. Nothing else done before attempted usage of timeshift. Timeshift used for the absolute first time on a clean install with nothing else installed prior, using the following command:
Timeshift throws:
Versions:
rsync --version
shows 3.2.7, whiletimeshift --version
shows 24.01.1.Attempted workarounds
Attempt 1: Install timeshift from PPA version
I have read several posts suggesting to use a PPA version of timeshift instead. So I tried:
sudo apt autoremove timeshift --purge
andsudo apt autoremove rsync --purge
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:teejee2008/timeshift && sudo apt update
, thensudo apt-get install timeshift
Issue not resolved. Uninstalled and purged timeshift and rysnc.
Attempt 2: Install older version of rsync
Many users report that this can be solved by using version 3.2.3 of rsync. Did it this way:
Still same error.
