Why can't I install Timeshift via the command line?

sudo apt install timeshift

E: Unable to locate package timeshift

Can't find it on Ubuntu Software either.

  • You've not provided your OS/release details; are we to guess? https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=timeshift&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all If you're using a release that has it, have you enabled `universe` ? – guiverc Nov 04 '22 at 09:56
  • Assuming this app is the backup app referenced here this is a step by step installing and using it. https://www.makeuseof.com/use-timeshift-backup-and-restore-linux-snapshots/ – David Nov 04 '22 at 09:59
  • That info should be in the question. That is extremely old software circa 2002 and most likely can not run on a modern version of Ubuntu. The error simply tells you there is no version for Ubuntu 22.04 – David Nov 04 '22 at 10:00
  • Please stop using comments to add info to the question. Use edit to add the info to the question so everyone can find it without have having to read through comments. – David Nov 04 '22 at 10:01

  • but on youtube same Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Desktop, they can find the Timeshift on Ubuntu Software and install using sudo apt install timeshift. Mine, I can't do either. – Linux Kid Inside Nov 04 '22 at 10:07
  • I added universe and sudo apt update but, I can't still install the app. – Linux Kid Inside Nov 04 '22 at 10:10

  • I appreciate your help guys! Especially for bringing Grub Customizer up. I did a fresh install to remove the Grub Customer and I was able to install Timeshift. Cheers everyone! – Linux Kid Inside Nov 04 '22 at 13:03
