Don't mention it, just came around.

I'm trying to get rid of the error messages about the failed copy of the not anymore needed libacl.so.1 and libattr.so.1.1.0

The 2 copy commands are called from filelist.txt which is in /usr/share/backupmenu/extrafiles.tar.gz.

I did it this way:

backup of extrafiles.tar.gz

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# cp /usr/share/backupmenu/extrafiles.tar.gz /home/user/MyDocs/

extract extrafiles and edit filelist.txt

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# cd /usr/share/backupmenu/
Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# ls
BackupMenu.item          extrafiles.tar.gz
BackupMenuLauncher.item  tar
Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# mkdir temp
Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# cp extrafiles.tar.gz ./temp
Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# cd temp/
Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu/temp# tar xfvz extrafiles.tar.gz
./bin/
./bin/mountsd
./bin/getlockcode
./bin/mountroot
./bin/mountopt
./bin/charge.sh
./bin/mountmydocs
./bin/loadkmap
./filelist.txt
./nokia-n900.kmap
Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu/temp# nano filelist.txt

delete the two lines

Code:

cp /lib/libacl.so.1 /tmp/disk/lib/
cp /lib/libattr.so.1.1.0 /tmp/disk/lib/

recompress tar.gz, move and clean up

Code:

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu/temp# rm extrafiles.tar.gz
Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu/temp# tar cvfz extrafiles.tar.gz ./*
./bin/
./bin/mountsd
./bin/getlockcode
./bin/mountroot
./bin/mountopt
./bin/charge.sh
./bin/mountmydocs
./bin/loadkmap
./filelist.txt
./nokia-n900.kmap
Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu/temp# mv extrafiles.tar.gz ..
Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu/temp# cd ..
Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# rm -r ./temp/
Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# ls
BackupMenu.item          extrafiles.tar.gz
BackupMenuLauncher.item  tar
Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# chmod +x extrafiles.tar.gz
Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# reboot

This is not the fastest and safest way, but I'm learning.
Maybe it helps somebody.

..wow!!

..but i was, umm.. less gutsy, so i just installed the two files:

Code:

apt-get install -y libacl1

..it automatically installs libattr as a dependency.
Meh!

Nice, this is more helpful, searched the forum for a fast solution but couldn't find one.

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# cp /home/user/MyDocs/extrafiles.tar.gz /usr/share/backupmenu/
Nokia-N900:~# reboot

Could you link to this project, please?

I'll try to find it, but it may be a little out-of-date - it was mentioned in discussions about recovery shell mode. AFAIK, after initial plans, it wasn't pushed further (as, having recovery shell, you can perform same actions manually. Yet, I agree, that more automated way ala' backupmenu would be much more convenient).

BackupMenu for U-Boot (by ivyking at post 915) is already based on FB.
It use a MeeGo's Rescue image modified to launch BackupMenu.

There are some minor errors to correct, ivyking has used the original and unmodified BackupMenu script which thinks to boot from Maemo and not from MeeGo's InitRD, but it is working and enough usable.

It's a pity, that more knowledgeable ones haven't pushed it further (especially, ivyking version).
