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.

I have problem with the automatic udev rule. Back In Time created the following rule in /etc/udev/rules.d but whenever I plug in my device, I am not prompted for any password, nor is the backup process started automatically: 99-backintime-orschiro.rules: ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="2aac80d3-3f44-41dc-9f99-18f251d518dd", RUN+="/usr/bin/su - 'orschiro' -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' &"

@Germar Thanks! I was so free to add this information to the wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Back_In_Time

@orschiro you can use backintime-gnome as normal user even if you want to use udev schedule. BIT will ask for your sudo password to create udev rules. You only need to run 'gksu backintime-gnome' if you want to backup/restore files which are only rw by root.

Since the disabling of the keyring I am a bit confused how to launch backintime. For instance for some settings (such as creating the auto-backup udev rule) I need root permissions.What do you run? ~ backintime ~ backintime-gnome ~ gksudo backintime-gnome ~ gksu backintime-gnome Thanks for shedding light!

@zapataz Then build the package manually and only install backintime-gtk/gnome

@Orschiro With Yaourt

@zapataz How did you build and try to install backintime? Using an AUR helper?

zapataz commented on 2014-02-21 07:58 (UTC)

Hi, Got package conflict error during build (below). I removed backintime-gnome references in PKGBUILD and it worked. loading packages... resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: backintime-gnome and backintime-gtk are in conflict

graysky commented on 2014-02-17 20:17 (UTC)

@qqqq - Extra dependencies suck is the point. Germar mentioned that the next major release will drop the gtk/gnome flavor in favor of a qt GUI only. See his comment from 2013-12-19 20:20.

Hi, what's the point of the backintime-gnome version (beside making it uninstallable by aur-helpers)? The only difference between backintime-gnome and backintime-gtk is gnome-session, which is not even installed during the build. Couldn't you just make gnome-session an optdepend of backintime-gtk and drop backintime-gnome?
