You have been subscribed to a public bug: I am running Mint 18 Cinnamon 64-bit. I loaded bacula from the repository: bacula-console, bacula-fd, bacula-director-common, bacula- common, bacula-sd-sqlite3, bacula-common-sqlite3. bacla-sd, and bacula- director-sqlite3. I set up my database and configuration files like I had them on Mint 17.
All the daemons started with no problems: bacula-dir, bacula-sd, and bacula-fd. But when I started bconsole, it could not communicate with bacula-dir: trinity% sudo bconsole [sudo] password for jmm: Connecting to Director localhost:9101 Director authorization problem. Most likely the passwords do not agree. If you are using TLS, there may have been a certificate validation error during the TLS handshake. Please see http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Bacula_Freque_Asked_Questi.html#SECTION00260000000000000000 for help. After rechecking everything (the passwords actually do agree), I went to the bacula-users email group to see if they could help. One of the other users there did a check, and found the same problem with a completely default setup, so they looked deeper. He noted that using -Bsymbolic-functions linker switch was used in some of the Debian builds, and was probably used in Ubuntu 16.04 package. Kern Sibbald said that bacula would fail if built with that switch, and so it does. There is an Ubuntu proposed change to bacula 7.0.5+dfsg-4ubuntu0.1 in 16.04 to recompile without the -Bsymbolic-functions switch, but it has not yet been pushed out, it looks like: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bacula/7.0.5+dfsg-4ubuntu0.1 Does Mint 18 get its bacula packages from Ubuntu? I will report this bug to Ubuntu as well, so that they might be motivated to release their fixed version. I don't know if that will fix things for Mint 18 too. ** Affects: bacula (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- bacula 7.0.5 bconsole cannot talk to bacula-dir https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1630252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
