grsync stopped working

cmcanulty · 2025-01-15 18:27:42

suddenly today I can't do any grsync backups. I have tried to backup a flash drive, my kindle, and an external hard drive. They all backed up fine a few days ago.I tried completely removing and reinstalling grsync, also ran "sudo dpkg --configure -a", and also restarted computer. I am running Xubuntu 24.04. All give these errors:

sending incremental file list
Internal hashtable error: illegal key supplied!
rsync error: errors with program diagnostics (code 13) at hashtable.c(88) [generator=3.2.7]
rsync error: received SIGUSR1 (code 19) at main.c(1613) [Receiver=3.2.7]
Rsync process exit status: 13

A quick google search shows that "13" is a permission issue at the destination folder. Could this be the issue?

no I have all the permissions needed. But I never saw the error
Internal hashtable error: illegal key supplied! previously

We just today upgraded rsync to fix this, probably using that patch.

ok I got grsync 1.3.1 from sourceforge. It required gtk3 so I installed that then in required intools so I installed that . Then I went through the install procedures, see below and still no luck. What a mess.

You need to be root or sudo to install. A regular user does not have permission to write to /usr/local/bin.

ToZ · 2025-01-16 17:01:25

Also its probably not going to work if you're installing to /usr/local/bin unless its in your path, the library files are installed to the correct location, and the current package is uninstalled.

You could wait until ubuntu pushes out a patched version,

Oh duh that worked for the install of grsync 1.3.1 but I get the same errors no matter what I try to backup. All was fine 2 days ago.

** Launching RSYNC command:
rsync -r -t -p -o -g -x -v --progress --delete -l -H -D --partial -s /media/cmcanulty/SD64 /home/cmcanulty/Documents

sending incremental file list

Added later 18 h 11 min 07 s:
Thanks all I went to the bug page and got the link to download the latest deb and installed it then added back grsync and it works!
solved
