Unable to locate package timeshift

Hello,

I’m attempting to setup Timeshift so that I can create checkpoints that will allow me to restore if I need to. In my research I’ve only come across Timeshift, so I’ve attempted to install it on my TX2. I’ve done the following.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:teejee2008/ppa -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install timeshift

however after the install command all i get is

nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~/bin$ sudo apt-get install timeshift
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

E: Unable to locate package timeshift

I’ve installed this fine on my laptop with the same exact commands, hence why I’m posting this here on the NVIDIA forums. Anyone have any insight?

Its a relatively brand new installation on the TX2, I just set it up with Jetpack 3.3 and have only installed opencv and Tensorflow thus far. I am having another issue related to the protobuf functionality, that I’ve posted else where.

The TX2 is arm64/aarch64/ARMv8-a architecture…your laptop is amd64/x86_64. Unless they provided a compiled version in arm64 the package won’t exist. In that case you’d need to get the source and compile it yourself.
