and you can use left/right arrows to move the pointer and OK to just to that point.

This feature is absolutely tremendous, and seems to work flawlessly. Honestly have to say I'm very veRY VERY impressed.

And this is why in my opinion the ViX image can not be rivaled for user friendliness.

Half of the features andy creates he does not even use, he makes them for the users who ask for them, No other team has this level of Developer / user interaction.

Getting an error when selecting timeshift saving record on 656

"The file system on your timeshift device does not support hard links. Make sure it is formatted in ext2 or ext3"

Mounts shows the hard drive is ext4

PTS is undergoing some major updates, make a full image backup of your current setup and try updating to 658 and see if your problem is resolved in that image.

timeshift saving is currently being worked on, a beta will be in build 660, so bare with me, build 660 timeshift has had a major recode, now Standard TimeShift and Permanent TimeShift have the same features, the only difference is that standard time timeshift is started via pause like always, but it can now save events, jump previous events, has a full seekbar, etc just like permanent timeshift.

Hello.

I didn't even know standard timeshift existed! I am having the same problem as Danivtec on PTS and STS is also crashing on me.

On STS i pause it and then the time seems to be increasing (not sure why?) and as soon as I try to rewing (or even go play again) the VIX icon starts spinning in the top left hand corner and the box has crashed. I have to turn the power off to get it working again.

I have build 653 installed.

Perform an online update and see if you have same issue. You wont have to reinstall anything.

 

[kanwar]

Hello.

I have used the built in updater to get all the latest updates. I am now on build 658.

The PTS error still remains (might not be exact wording/missing something:

"Creating hardlink to timeshift file failed! The filesystem on your timeshift device does not support hard links". (Errno1)

On a positive note, STS (pause) does not crash anymore and a few other good things have been implemented

 

[BubbleBalls]

Still lots of PTS updates being done, please be patient while issues are sorted out if you choose to use latest builds.

Build 659 is now online.
The error you get indicates a problem with your storage device. Where is timeshift set to? How does that location show in the mountmanager? What filesystem does it have?

 

[kanwar]

Thanks for your input, Rob.

The timeshift is set to HDD/Media

MM shows the hard drive as EXT4. I am very puzzled and would be very grateful if you could help me resolve this. Thanks again.

That doesn't sound right: I presume it's 'media/hdd' instead?

 

[kanwar]

Yes, that's what I mean. Sorry.
