Hello all, Apologies, I missed these recent messages.
For background, the error UnicodeDecodeError just means that a non-ASCII character is hitting a piece of code that was not designed to handle it. That is not surprising -- prior to the 0.8 series, very little of the code was designed for non-ASCII characters. What that means is that you may be seeing a UnicodeDecodeError even though this bug is fixed, because somewhere else in the code needs fixing. Victor Douglas (jhngalt): This is an interesting error and thank you very much for following our instructions on testing the snap and giving the relevant details. Can you please test with the latest stable duplicity snap and, if you still have a problem, report the bug in our new tracker (https://gitlab.com/duplicity/duplicity/-/issues )? Note that "snap run duplicity" does not actually do anything without arguments (even working correctly it gives: Command line error: Expected 2 args, got 0 Enter 'duplicity --help' for help screen.), but it still should not be giving an error like that. It looks as though the error was related to non-ASCII in your temporary directory name not being handled correctly. Martin Theiner (mathesubu1) and BlueT - Matthew Lien - 練喆明 (bluet) -- you are both using an old (pre 0.8 series) version of duplicity/deja dup. Please uninstall the system version (e.g. "sudo apt-get purge duplicity") and install the stable snap (e.g. "sudo snap install duplicity —classic") and test again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to duplicity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770929 Title: Duplicity fails with UnicodeDecodeError in uexc function Status in Duplicity: Fix Released Status in duplicity package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: backup worked under Ubuntu 17.10 It also worked on Ubuntu 18.4 before last week's update (run on Friday 11.5) my drive is encrypted this is the error message in the error frame Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1555, in <module> with_tempdir(main) File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1541, in with_tempdir fn() File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1393, in main do_backup(action) File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1523, in do_backup incremental_backup(sig_chain) File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 668, in incremental_backup globals.backend) File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 454, in write_multivol (tdp, dest_filename, vol_num))) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/asyncscheduler.py", line 146, in schedule_task return self.__run_synchronously(fn, params) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/asyncscheduler.py", line 172, in __run_synchronously ret = fn(*params) File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 453, in <lambda> vol_num: put(tdp, dest_filename, vol_num), File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 342, in put backend.put(tdp, dest_filename) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/backend.py", line 395, in inner_retry % (n, e.__class__.__name__, util.uexc(e))) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/util.py", line 79, in uexc return ufn(unicode(e).encode('utf-8')) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 37: ordinal not in range(128) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: duplicity 0.7.17-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-20.21-generic 4.15.17 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-20-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun May 13 09:55:00 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-05-01 (11 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) SourcePackage: duplicity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/1770929/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
