Status in Déjà Dup: Fix Released Status in The "G" Library - GLib: New Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “deja-dup” source package in Lucid: Fix Committed Bug description: 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 To unsubscribe from this bug, go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/569418/+subscribe -- deja-dup fails on backup to external drive with g_file_get_uri: assertion `G_IS_FILE (file)' failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
