I have the almost the same system configuration as Paul Nickerson, except that backups are stored on a separate NTFS-formatted drive, that neither Ubuntu nor Windows boots. Disabling Fast Startup solved the problem for me too. Thanks for sharing the solution!
I have noticed that while Fast Startup is enabled, Ubuntu mounts the drive read-only. In my opinion there is still a bug in duplicity, as it doesn't handle this situation properly and crashes. It would be much better if it checks whether the destination is read-only and stops with a clear message, indicating the problem, instead of crashing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729695 Title: ASCII decode error, but not due to filenames in backup target To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/1729695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
