Public bug reported: Binary package hint: simplebackup
Running sbackup as cronjob on Ubuntu 8.10 results in the following error message: /etc/cron.daily/sbackup: GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Not running within active session) Google turned up this page about a similar error: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/257658/how-can-i-make-a-fake-active-session-for-gconf Applying the same fix mentioned there to the /usr/share/sbackup/sbackup bash script fixed the problem on my system. Patch is attached. My sbackup package version is 0.10.5ubuntu2. ** Affects: simplebackup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- GConf error when run as cronjob https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335450 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
