[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1283404] Re: Duplicity fails to back up local files to Ubuntu One

[J A Brown]

Yes,  it is working again, as of this morning.  And I do agree that some
notification would have been pleasant, as there were apparently a number
of people affected and a myriad of internet posts and questions
regarding this issue, as well as possible fixes - considering that the
actual problem was unreported - that, while well intentioned, were
misleading and a waste of effort.  Hopefully, as Kurkha writes above,
there will be some notification if this issue recurs.

Title:
  Duplicity fails to back up local files to Ubuntu One

Status in Duplicity - Bandwidth Efficient Encrypted Backup:
  New
Status in “duplicity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  SYSTEM: Xubuntu 12.04 64-bit

  PACKAGE: Duplicity 0.6.18-0ubuntu3.4 amd64  (From precise-updates)

  ADDITIONAL PACKAGE INFORMATION:
  - Downgrading Duplicity to 0.6.18-0ubuntu3 amd64, from precise-main, doesn't 
help
  - Deja-dup version is 22.0-0ubuntu4 amd64 (precise-updates), downgrading 
Deja-dup to 22.0-0ubuntu4 amd64 (precise-main) doesn't help

  DESCRIPTION:

  I have set up Deja-dup to back up some local folders on my desktop
  computer to Ubuntu One, once per week.

  Currently,  the backup fails with an error (see below). I have been
  seeing the error since 20th February 2014 - last successful backup was
  on 13th February 2014.

  I haven't changed any settings in Deja-dup or in my Ubuntu One
  account. There is plenty of space left in my Ubuntu One account.
  Signing on to Ubuntu One also works. File syncing does NOT WORK,
  however.

  DEBUG OUTPUT (by running DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --backup on the
  command line):

  (Lots of import of duplicity.backends.* succeeded messages here,
  omitted)

  DUPLICITY: DEBUG 1

  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
  It seems others have the same problem, see:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/423653/deja-backup-backup-failed-select-for-update-in-a-read-only-transaction

  EDIT:
  Probably simply an Ubuntu One problem, if a comment here is credible: 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/424109/ubuntu-one-no-more-syncing

  See also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-client/+bug/1282759

  The next comment to the previous question makes a valid point, however:
  Thank you for the news, but why don't we get this information directly from 
Ubuntu One? The Ubuntu One Service Status (wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Status) 
doesn't mention any problem.
