Some shell programs are missing in 24.04-1

Charly

Hello forum,

I have an X23 from Volla with 24.04-1.
So far I have made my backups directly onto a USB stick. I entered the commands directly into the shell. The programs are no longer included in the new 24.04-1.

Why not?

fdisk
rsync

Who can say something about this?

Which programs are also affected?

@Charly The first time you open the shell (through ssh) it says "the system has been minimized", which was done to reduce the rootfs size. You can use these programs under Libertine or run a local build of them (preferably statically linked).

@ikoz Many of the regular shell-related things are also available as snaps.

@RJDan
Thanks! How do I install snap programs?

@Charly
I think you first need to install snapz0r app from open store.
https://open-store.io/app/snapz0r.fredldotme

But not sure if only thing to do and if compatible with 24.04.

Edit : seem not compatible with 24.04 reading app description and comments, so wait for someone who know better than me

@Charly On Noble, snaps is preinstalled so you just run snap commands like snap install <app name>

You can also try Crackle which uses Nix.

Thanks, that's interesting.
Would it make sense to install shell programs like fdisk or rsync via snap?

@Charly Snap doesn't make sense for these small standalone utilites. Also fdisk doesn't exist as snap and rsync packages are only some outdated third party programs, which I would never install.
