What kind of dialog does pop up to ask for your sudo password? Is it a Terminal window or a graphical dialog?
Where is your config located at the moment? ~/.config/backintime or /root/.config/backintime ? Official repository uses 'su-to-root' to start backintime as root. This will fallback to sudo if it doesn't find gksudo. But sudo doesn't change HOME environ where gksudo does. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357961 Title: Missing home config for anachron and root To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/backintime/+bug/1357961/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
