Public bug reported: 1) $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10
2) $ dpkg -s backintime-kde | grep Version Version: 0.9.26-3 3) I expected that I see an error message when backintime fails to do a backup 4) Instead due to me bumping into the external drive, the filesystem went read-only, but no message in the GUI whatsoever though. No sign there that anything broke. It looks like everything would be sunshine only. Even though the backup failed and is broken. On the command line this looks like this - however a click-to-start user will never see that: rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/media/B/backup/backintime/new_snapshot/backup/mnt/mhddfs/home/tpo/tpo2_snapshot" failed: No such file or directory (2) *** Skipping any contents from this failed directory *** rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1057) [sender=3.0.6] WARNING: Command "rsync -aEAX -v --delete-excluded --chmod=Fa-w,D+w --whole-file --delete --exclude="/media/B/backup" --exclude="/home/tpo/.local/share/backintime" --include="/home/tpo/" --include="/home/" --include="/mnt/mhddfs/home/" --include="/mnt/mhddfs/" --include="/mnt/" --exclude=".*" --exclude="*.backup*" --exclude="*~" --exclude="/home/tpo/multimedia/25c3-2" --exclude="/home/tpo/panter/dental" --exclude="/mnt/mhddfs/home/tpo/multimedia/25c3-2" --include="/home/tpo/**" --include="/mnt/mhddfs/home/**" --exclude="*" / "/media/B/backup/backintime/new_snapshot/backup/"" returns 5888 INFO: Save permissions Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/backintime/common/backintime.py", line 174, in <module> start_app() File "/usr/share/backintime/common/backintime.py", line 86, in start_app take_snapshot( cfg, True ) File "/usr/share/backintime/common/backintime.py", line 42, in take_snapshot snapshots.Snapshots( cfg ).take_snapshot( force ) File "/usr/share/backintime/common/snapshots.py", line 424, in take_snapshot ret_val = self._take_snapshot( snapshot_id, now, include_folders, ignore_folders, dict, force ) File "/usr/share/backintime/common/snapshots.py", line 685, in _take_snapshot fileinfo = bz2.BZ2File( self.get_snapshot_fileinfo_path( new_snapshot_id ), 'w' ) IOError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/media/B/backup/backintime/new_snapshot/fileinfo.bz2' The GUI looked like the attached screenshot after the backup. Notice the lack of valid snapshots... ** Affects: backintime (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- failure to backup -> everything is sunshine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507246 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
