Using an AUR helper such as yay to build packages including backintime is HIGHLY discouraged. The recommended build method is to use a clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.

Please stop posting build failures because you insist on building with yay or other AUR helpers.

Do you think it would be problematic to replace gksu with polkit/pkexec? I have written polkit actions and authorization rules for a couple of graphical applications that needed privilege escalation (nautilus, gedit, meld, baobab, bleachbit) mostly to open and edit stuff as root, and it all works great. I did so because I was wary of gksu deprecation, but it is required by BIT installation and now I'm wondering whether I could replace it as well. Any thoughts from the more knowledgeable?

@Germar Because I do not want to shutdown but hibernate. But I don't think this feature needs to be added to BIT. It's just a special use case for me. :)

@orschiro why don't you use BIT's new shutdown button? It will automatically shutdown your system after new snapshot is done.

@Germar Thank you. I deleted the message file and the error disappeard. Can very well be that it was a result of a failed backup (I usually backup and set a hibernation timer which sometimes could have been to short to complete the backup).

@orschiro I guess this was just some leftovers from a previous failed backup cron job. Status bar will display messages from ~/.local/share/backintime/worker.message. It may happen that BIT failed (e.g. because you shutdown your system during the cron job was starting) and left the old worker.message which will now spam your status bar. Just remove worker.message will solve this.

@Germar I encountered an interesting issue. In the bottom status bar, BIT reports that it cannot find the snapshot folder. However, in the sidebar all snapshots are correctly displayed. See this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/LY4voDm.png A known bug?

@jeroenMathon python2-secretstorage is in depends in PKGBUILD. But for what ever reason it's not shown on this site. Take a look at grayskys comment from 2014-01-28 20:44.

@graysky It seems you forgot to add Python2-secretstorage to the dependencies list. Heres a url ^_^ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-secretstorage

@Germar Thanks! Renaming the folder did it. Now everything seems to be fine, including the udev rule: ~ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-backintime-root.rules ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="2aac80d3-3f44-41dc-9f99-18f251d518dd", RUN+="/usr/bin/su - 'root' -c 'test -x /usr/bin/anacron && test -e /root/.config/backintime/anacrontab-2aac80d3-3f44-41dc-9f99-18f251d518dd && /usr/bin/anacron -s -t /root/.config/backintime/anacrontab-2aac80d3-3f44-41dc-9f99-18f251d518dd -S /root/.local/share/backintime/anacron' &"
