Title:
Restore process gets stuck, can't find backups
Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I have deja-dup configured to back up to a directory on an external
disk. The disk is mounted at /media/steve/Ubuntu\ Backup/; the
directory containing the backups is /media/steve/Ubuntu\ Backup/deja-
dup. I'm trying to restore files from those backups. Deja-dup is
unable to find the backups, but it seems that it's not looking
especially hard/not looking at all.
To reproduce:
1) Launch the Backup app
2) Click the "I want to restore files from a previous backup..." button. The
Restore dialog opens
3) In the "Backup location" popup, select the external disk that contains the
backups
4) Click "Forward"
Expected results:
Deja dup thinks a bit and either finds the backups or tells me that it can't
find them
Actual results:
Deja dup claims to be looking for the backups. There is an indeterminate
progress bar in the Restore window. Deja dup never actually finds anything
though...the progress bar stays up indefinitely (or at least 5 minutes, which
is when I gave up). `top` shows that the deja-dup app is idle, and the blinky
light on my external disk shows no disk activity. iotop confirms the lack of
disk activity. Looks like deja-dup is not doing much at all.
Note that I cleverly deleted ~/.config on my system, so I don't have
any saved deja-dup configuration in place when I'm trying to perform
this restoration. Not sure if this is relevant or not. [I am trying to
restore ~/.config from the backup!]
