Oops! Ignore all that about the socket. I've just realised I have been doing 
it all wrong for at least the last five years!

Hi Bill
That's a jolly good idea. I am trying that. I'm not familiar with the cloning 
of a repository so I downloaded bacula-community-Release-13.0.2.tar.gz from 
https://gitlab.bacula.org/bacula-community-edition/bacula-community/-/
releases. I hope that amounts to the same thing. Another funny thing: on 
Opensuse I always need to edit the database creation scripts to add a switch 
to tell mysql where the socket is. This seems to be because akonadi likes to 
have it in /run/user/1000/akonadi and arguing with akonadi in the past has 
always proved fruitless for me. If anyone knows how to avoid having to edit 
the scripts I would be very grateful for the information.
Thanks
Graham

Hello Graham,

Why not just clone the Git repository?

Git takes care of all of the gory details automatically.

Plus you get the added benefit of having the latest version 13.0.3...


Best regards,
Bill

I see the Bacula Distribution Verification Public Keys but no mention of a 
fingerprint.

If I unsubscribe using the link in the emails, it sends a message using my 
current email address, not the old one.  I need to find out how to email the 
moderator.

I thought I would try to do the verification anyway. I did this:

graham@localhost:~/Documents/bacula11> gpg --import Bacula-4096-Distribution-
Verification-key.asc

graham@localhost:~/Documents/bacula11> gpg --verify bacula-11.0.6.tar.gz.sig 
bacula-11.0.6.tar.gz
gpg: Signature made Thu 10 Mar 2022 15:58:02 GMT

Primary key fingerprint: 5235 F5B6 68D8 1DB6 1704  A82D C0BE 2A5F E9DF 3643

I don't know if this means anything. Did it validate the file or not? All is 
deeply unclear and mysterious

I think the keys/fingerprints are here (from the DOWNLOADS menu on
https://www.bacula.org/):
https://www.bacula.org/bacula-distribution-verification-public-keys/

To unsubscribe, see the List-Unsubscribe link in the email headers (or
https://www.bacula.org/support/email-lists/).

Going back to the very beginning of my troubles: It all started when I tried 
to install a version of the programming language Smalltalk. At that time I was 
running Opensuse 15.3. When I ran the installation as root something (a 
trojan?) wiped the hard disk. I flashed the BIOS, installed Opensuse 15.5 on a 
fresh hard disk, got a few things going e.g. email and then tried to install 
Bacula so I can restore from backup. Installing Bacula went fine through the 
configure, make and make install stages and I even started bacula successfully 
but when I next rebooted I had another trojan take over the computer and that 
was the end of that.
So perhaps I have got a Rootkit infection that can survive a basic ROM 
reflash? I will try to install Bacula one more time, after checking that the 
files I have downloaded are correct. If my machine get wrecked again after 
that, I will have to junk it and build a new one.

 Thanks
