Bug Description:
Backing up to an external drive is broken. I use an external USB-
harddisk for backups and deja-dup is failing on getting the URI of the
backup-target (g_file_get_uri). That's why the duplicity command line
is not complete (see attached console output with stout, sterr,
DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1).
If I change the backup target to a local folder everything works!
1. there is no log file in /tmp because of the error
2. --> attached files
3. deja-dup 14.0.3-0ubuntu1
duplicity 0.6.08b-0ubuntu2
4. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
SRU Justification:
It is important to resolve this issue in a SRU due to Deja-Dup being a
featured application in the Ubuntu Software Center. By prominently
featuring Deja-Dup, it has become the de facto desktop backup solution
for Ubuntu users. This bug prevents users from backing up to an
external hard drive, probably the primary use case.
#### Work-around ####
Changing the '/apps/deja-dup/file/type' gconf setting from 'volume' to
'normal' solves the problem. This can be done by browsing to that
setting with 'gconf-editor' or with the following command in the
terminal:
gconftool -s '/apps/deja-dup/file/type' --type string normal
