Snapapi problem under Debian 3.1 Sarge

i have just installed the lastest network setup Sarge (debian 3.1 linux).

next i want to install True Image Server for Linux Build 8.0.946

the HOWTO.INSTALL file explains about snapapi 0.6.4 with the dkms command.

dkms only gives errors that it cannot find snapapi.

the find command shows that only 0.6.3 is availble on Sarge, also the apt-get commando can't find snapapi.

i would very much like some advise on how to obtain 0.6.4 and install it correctly on my distribution.

running kernel 2.4.27-2-386 at this moment.

thank you.

thanks for your prompt reply, first of all i'd like to ask if the RPM files are mandatory, since i do not use Redhat ,but in stead i run Debian 3.1 Sarge. of course i can convert rpm to .deb with the 'alien' program, but still that doesnt work as good as rpm under redhat.

so can i ignore the RPM directory? although it contains the snapapi module...

Hello colbyco,

Please be aware that SnapAPI module is required for the program to work properly, therefore you should not ignore the installation of this component.

Please also note that Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Linux can be installed not only on Read Hat, but on a wide variety of other Linux distributions.

Please send a brief description of your issue along with the link to this thread to support@acronis.com in order to get more detailed instructions on how to install the software.

Thank you.

i have succesfully installed the snapapi module (i think) under Debian linux, with this command: alien -i snapapi26-modules-0.6.6-1.noarch.rpm

no errors occurred.

than i installed the trueimage package:

alien -i trueimage-8.0-946.s.e.i386.rpm

also no errors,

now under X windows i find myself an icon for trueimage server, good news... although when i start it, it says:


E000101F4: Cannot find the necessary Acronis True Image modules. Please reinstall Acronis True Image. (OK button)


when i press the okay button and than the next button, it comes up with the same error again.



thank you for your time and attention.
