I'm on 16.04.1 LTS and had the following error after configuring the settings in the System Settings Backup:
"Backup location not available Waiting for a network connection..." For me, the issue was with NetworkManager. After getting the above error, I went to look at the Connection Information in the systray only to get another error: "Error displaying connection information:No valid active connections found!" Following: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager- applet/+bug/305606 I found that my /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf had: [ifupdown] managed=false so I changed it to: [ifupdown] managed=true rebooted and now the backup works fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/982316 Title: Deja Dup is unable to detect network connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/982316/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
