I had exactly the same problem. I believe the problem stems from having the deja-dup folder in a subdirectory as the error being thrown out was:
UDFs can not be nested. following taken from :http://askubuntu.com/questions/21621/ubuntu-one-wont-synchronize-pictures-folder "...If you try to create a synchronized folder from something that is not an actual directory inside your home (if it is, for example, a symlink to somewhere else), or if it is a subdirectory of a synchronized folder, then the creation will fail. If you try to do the same thing from the Terminal, you should get a slightly more verbose error message..." "....(UDFs is what we Ubuntu One developers call synchronized folders)..." for me, running u1sdtool --list-folders displays ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kaipee@zoostorm-ubuntu:~$ u1sdtool --list-folders Folder list: id=0875288d-04d3-4d5d-8fd4-79142504bd1e subscribed=False path=/home/kaipee/deja-dup/zoostorm-ubuntu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In order to fix this I changed the deja-dup settings to "Backup location: Ubuntu One" - "Folder: zoostorm-ubuntu" (ie removing the 'deja-dup/' part, so zoostorm-ubuntu folder is not a subdirectory of anything) Just tried it and now my machine is currently backing up to Ubuntu One as I type this -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/844369 Title: Deja-Dup backup to Ubuntu One failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/844369/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
