Yeah, there is something different about the GUI notification at the end. It is triggered via DBus, and root just can't use the user's DBus session.
The true fix for this is to add policykit support to gvfs, so that you don't have to run the whole of deja-dup as root, but rather, deja-dup can just ask for the root password when it sees a file it can't read/write. See bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490200 I could add a temporary message in the GUI when run as root, as you suggest. But truth be told, running as root is not really recommended. It's a mode I don't want to formally add support for. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #490200 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490200 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1159235 Title: deja-dup crashes after backup with GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/1159235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
