** Description changed: + Bug Description: + Backing up to an external drive is broken. I use an external USB- harddisk for backups and deja-dup is failing on getting the URI of the backup-target (g_file_get_uri). That's why the duplicity command line is not complete (see attached console output with stout, sterr, DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1). If I change the backup target to a local folder everything works! 1. there is no log file in /tmp because of the error 2. --> attached files 3. deja-dup 14.0.3-0ubuntu1 duplicity 0.6.08b-0ubuntu2 4. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS + + SRU Justification: + + It is important to resolve this issue in a SRU due to Deja-Dup being a + featured application in the Ubuntu Software Center. By prominently + featuring Deja-Dup, it has become the de facto desktop backup solution + for Ubuntu users. This bug prevents users from backing up to an external + hard drive, probably the primary use case. + + #### Work-around #### + + Changing the '/apps/deja-dup/file/type' gconf setting from 'volume' to + 'normal' solves the problem. This can be done by browsing to that + setting with 'gconf-editor' or with the following command in the + terminal: + + gconftool -s '/apps/deja-dup/file/type' --type string normal
