Title:
Deja Dup provides no progress information and hangs
Status in duplicity package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu's default "Backup" application, which I believe is actually
DejaDup or Duplicity behind the scenes, is unusable, because it
provides no progress information, and appears to either hang or drag
the system to halt as it does something. After 6 hours of waiting for
the background "duplicity" process to complete, I usually have to kill
it so I can use my computer. The process says it's using the "log-
fd=N" option to log output, but attempting to read this file
descriptor with tail fails.
If you use the "Backup" gui to initiate a backup manually, it will
display a small status window, that gives some vague status
information, but very intermittently. However, if you schedule a
backup, and that backup is due, then as soon as you open this GUI, the
backup automatically starts, and an error message is displayed showing
a "backup is already running", and it then fails to even give you any
status information at all.
