Workaround avail, albeit not a very nice 1. Fortunately for me, i installed a 12.04.2LTS partition on the same disk. I managed to boot into that partition & restore my data to it. Since it was not a lot of data, I was able to restore it without too much pain.
I'm quite a newbie at this, so to me, it should make no difference if i'm root, or normal user with sudo priveledges. It was working in 12.04, 12.10 right? & in 13.04 it stopped working. I can only conclude that something has changed in 13.04; the only major change i'm aware of is NAUTILUS. Apparently sbackup queries some feature from Nautilus that is no longer there. The only way we can know for sure, is if we can install a 13.04 system with a 12.10 or 12.04 version of nautilus & try to change the backup destination. In the meantime, i think i'm gonna de-install/un-install sbackup. In 13.04, it's as good as scuba gear in the desert anyway. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Simple Backup Maintainers, which is subscribed to sbackup. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1179080 Title: sBackup unable to be configured for external media destination To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/sbackup/+bug/1179080/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
