@leonardof: I am pretty is not related to backintime. I think it is any issue in Qt or adwaita. The problem is that if you search for a icon (e.g "list-add") with Qt it searches only for icons that have that name, but adwaita only delivers files with the "-symbolic" postfix.

pipep commented on 2022-04-23 06:01 (UTC)

@leonardof: Same problem here, see https://imgur.com/a/PwlSTcj I am using Adwaita icon theme

@leonardof: I have icons in the toolbar. There is no application icon in the package and the icon defined in the desktop file is the generic document-save icon. The desktop file hasn't changed since 2016, so maybe it's due to the icon theme. I'm using Papirus-Dark.

EDIT: The Paprius Team suggests changing it to systemback instead. It does look nicer.

leonardof commented on 2022-04-22 17:32 (UTC)

Anyone else seeing text instead of icons in the toolbar, and a symbolic icon instead of the app icon in the launcher? I'm on GNOME, and it started around the upgrade to GNOME 42.

graysky commented on 2021-12-18 13:56 (UTC)

Cannot reproduce your error.

MickeyRat commented on 2021-12-18 13:01 (UTC)

I got the following error on both this and the git version and I wasn't using an AUR helper. Possible missing dependency. Not sure.

make: *** [Makefile:567: unittest] Alarm clock

katt commented on 2021-07-20 16:16 (UTC)

check() fails in clean chroot, needs python-dbus, openssh, and rsync as checkdepends to succeed.

Please change _pkgname to pkgbase since this is a split package.

They forgot to bump the version:

prepare() {
  cd "$pkgbase-$pkgver"

  # Correct version in About dialog
  sed -i 's/1.2.0/1.3.0/g' VERSION common/config.py
}

test() is not a valid function, it's check(). The tests are failing, I'm still working on why.

I am running into an issue when running backintime:

[code] AttributeError: 'TempPasswordThread' object has no attribute 'isAlive' /usr/bin/backintime-qt: line 31: 22945 Aborted (core dumped) python -Es ${APP_PATH}/app.py "$@ [/code]

As I understand this issue was solved upstream. Should the pkgbuild be updated?

https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/1134

deisi commented on 2019-11-28 16:44 (UTC)

arch. Maybe something is messed up with my python setup, as I have package installed with pip as user and packages from pacman in the system.

graysky commented on 2019-11-28 16:26 (UTC)

I cannot reproduce. Arch or Manjaro/other?

deisi commented on 2019-11-28 16:15 (UTC)

@graysky same issue.

graysky commented on 2019-11-28 12:31 (UTC)

@deisi - Don't use yay. Build with makepkg.

deisi commented on 2019-11-28 07:57 (UTC) (edited on 2019-11-28 07:57 (UTC) by deisi)

After an system upgrade today "yay -Syu" backintime is not starting any more due to missing python module: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dbus'"

holunder commented on 2019-05-04 22:40 (UTC)

Beware for version 1.2.0, it has many issues: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/988

I see at githab page that Backintime might be compiled with Qt5 GUI.
Is it possible to update this package to use it or there are some problems?

@pipep - No, all members of the base-devel group are assumed dependencies and shall not be listed out explicitly: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites

pipep commented on 2019-01-07 20:35 (UTC)

Compiling backintime I get the error "make: msgfmt: Command not found". I solved installing gettext. Should gettext be added as dependency?

graysky commented on 2019-01-07 12:28 (UTC)

@artafinde - Yes, the current version of pyqt4 will not work without it. https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=backintime&id=2eb754ea07a0

artafinde commented on 2019-01-07 07:57 (UTC) (edited on 2019-01-07 07:57 (UTC) by artafinde)

Is python-sip-pyqt4 now a dependency?

graysky commented on 2019-01-06 16:00 (UTC)

@derkardinal @finswimmer - thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I added the dep of python-pyqt4 based on @inemum's PKGBUILD (which I uploaded to the AUR). I am able to run 1.1.24 now with the current version of pyqt4.

derkardinal commented on 2019-01-03 21:53 (UTC)

I installed the python-sip-pyqt4 package from @inemum and that solved the problem as @finswimmer described.

derkardinal commented on 2018-12-30 19:07 (UTC)

How do I install the described python-sip-pyqt4 package provided by @inemum?

finswimmer commented on 2018-12-30 16:28 (UTC)

With PyQt4 v4.12.2 it is necessary to create a private copy of the sip module. See the note in the install instructions (http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/installation.html)

Note: When building PyQt4 v4.12.2 or later you must configure SIP to create a private copy of the sip module using a command line similar to the following:

python configure.py --sip-module PyQt4.sip --no-dist-info --no-tools

In the comment area of the python-pyqt4 package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-pyqt4/) @inemum provide a PKGBUILD for a python-sip-pyqt4 package. Installing this and added it as a dependency for backintime, solves the "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt4.sip'" problem for me.

graysky commented on 2018-12-14 17:13 (UTC) (edited on 2018-12-14 17:14 (UTC) by graysky)

https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/964

AUR helpers do not help. Stop using them and just build with makepkg.

catalin.hritcu commented on 2018-12-14 15:42 (UTC)

And once I manage to install I get the same error as @MikeyRat: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt4.sip'

catalin.hritcu commented on 2018-12-14 14:52 (UTC)

And similar for pamac: "could not satisfy dependencies: unable to satisfy dependency 'python-pyqt4' required by backintime"

catalin.hritcu commented on 2018-12-14 14:40 (UTC)

My aur helper (aura) also seems confused: "The following are not AUR packages: pyqt4-common python-pyqt4"

MickeyRat commented on 2018-12-14 14:18 (UTC)

Here's what I'm getting and I did try a full reinstall. The install works but, it's missing something.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/backintime/qt4/app.py", line 30, in <module> import qt4tools File "/usr/share/backintime/qt4/qt4tools.py", line 21, in <module> from PyQt4.QtGui import QFont, QFileDialog, QListView, QAbstractItemView, \ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt4.sip'

Not find the qt-assistant-compat dependency.

What?

bulletproof commented on 2018-12-03 18:31 (UTC)

Not find the qt-assistant-compat dependency.

graysky commented on 2018-11-09 18:46 (UTC)

Use makepkg. AUR helpers tend to cause more problems than they solve...

jamesray commented on 2018-11-09 11:16 (UTC)

I couldn't install with yay backintime on Manjaro, see https://gist.github.com/jamesray1/0d84130bb5c3f1a7f0aed10063f6ef83.

graysky commented on 2018-10-25 22:38 (UTC)

@hasdf - Which patch are you recommending? Technically not out-of-date.

rplanchuelo commented on 2018-09-25 05:38 (UTC)

@unkissedfrog, you can try to intall backintime-git, it is Qt5 GUI version.

graysky commented on 2018-09-12 21:07 (UTC)

@unkissedfrog - https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2018-August/029331.html

You can build it from the AUR.

unkissedfrog commented on 2018-09-12 15:30 (UTC)

I get the following message when trying to install backintime

:: no results found for phonon-qt4-backend (dependency tree: phonon-qt4 phonon-qt4-backend)

How can I fix that? I found no way to install phonon-qt4-backend

tamas commented on 2017-08-31 15:06 (UTC)

Thanks a lot to icedaddy for not only reporting the problem upstream but actually pointing out the solution (https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/805). The proposed modification of sshtools.py works for me as well.

graysky commented on 2017-08-26 12:22 (UTC)

You probably want to report this upstream... I am just packaging.

icedaddy commented on 2017-08-26 12:06 (UTC)

I see the same issue as tamas. I backup over SSH and this error has occurred with me after the recent update of sshfs to 3.2.0. Downgrading sshfs (to 3.0.0) fixes the issue.

tamas commented on 2017-08-24 15:22 (UTC)

coderkun commented on 2017-01-08 19:13 (UTC)

@geo909: I do have this issue, too, for some applications. But it is releated to using an unofficial freetype2 and not related to backintime. There are some bug reports like https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/52424

geo909 commented on 2017-01-08 19:09 (UTC)

alejandro.perez commented on 2016-08-04 16:02 (UTC)

Hi, binutils should be included into the makedepends, as strip is required (otherwise it fails). Thanks for maintaining this!

graysky commented on 2016-08-01 22:23 (UTC)

@willemw - At the moment, the build will file if you do that...

willemw commented on 2016-08-01 15:17 (UTC)

test() in PKGBUILD should be check().

@MS and @Tids - Not the fault of this PKGBUILD; makepkg has not supported this feature for some months now: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2015-September/020347.html

MaycneSonahoz commented on 2016-03-28 08:49 (UTC) (edited on 2016-03-28 08:50 (UTC) by MaycneSonahoz)

I also got the "makepkg: invalid option '--pkg'" error. I got the message when i tried to update backintime and backintime-cli, with both Pamac and yaourt, with the following answers (French language, but the order of questions should be the same): ==> Éditer PKGBUILD ? [O/n] -> n (No) ==> Lancer la compilation de backintime ? [O/n] -> o (Yes) ==> Installer seulement backintime ? [O/n] -> o (Yes) makepkg: option invalide '--pkg' For the update to work, you need to say 'No (n)' when asked if you want to install only backintime (3rd question), and likewise for backintime-cli.

graysky commented on 2016-03-25 18:15 (UTC)

@Tids - Why are you passing the --pkg option to makepkg?

fabiscafe commented on 2016-03-25 11:48 (UTC)

for me there is following error makepkg: invalid option '--pkg' so it wont build

jmx commented on 2016-03-02 16:25 (UTC)

@Wabuo: I see, thanks for the hint. So I will await the update for this package once upstream sorted out the last quirks...

Wabuo commented on 2016-03-02 16:18 (UTC)

@jmx it is a fixed bug. For further informations see the issue: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/549

jmx commented on 2016-03-02 10:54 (UTC)

Somehow the .desktop for the "root" version of Backintime does not work for me. When I click the symbol from the applications menu, the mouse changes to the busy-icon but after a while it returns to normal with no application window appearing. Not even the prompt to enter my password appears. But when I enter `pkexec backintime-qt4` into a terminal (which is the Exec= line in the "root" version .desktop), I am instantly presented with the password prompt and Backintime starts fine afterwards. Why does this work from the terminal, but not from the GUI applications menu? Am I missing some settings somewhere? I'm on GNOME 3.18 from the standard repos.

catalin.hritcu commented on 2016-02-15 18:57 (UTC)

Thanks a lot graysky. I can confirm that Aura works with 1.1.12-2.

graysky commented on 2016-02-15 18:46 (UTC)

@Simone - I honestly can't remember why I added the conflicts/provides arrays. Since they're so specific I'd like to think that I had a good reason. I just removed them and bumped to 1.1.12-2. Try your AUR wrapper.

catalin.hritcu commented on 2016-02-15 18:37 (UTC)

I can confirm what Simone98RC said, Aura doesn't work either.

Simone98RC commented on 2016-02-15 18:18 (UTC)

The required versioning equality between GUI and CLI version makes AUR wrappers like Pamac unable to do automatic updates (because a dependency is requiring the other one updated to same release). Please prevent that by removing the versioning control, thanks much.

SajeOne commented on 2016-01-19 23:00 (UTC)

@DryEagle I experienced the same issues. It seems AUR helpers( yaourt in my case ) do not install the package properly. I downloaded the tarball and installed it manually just fine.

graysky commented on 2016-01-15 12:49 (UTC)

@aexoxea - Yes, good catch. But there is a problem currently with the test function, see: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/522

aexoxea commented on 2016-01-15 09:23 (UTC)

Hi, should "test()" actually be "check()" in the PKGBUILD? Everything otherwise working fine with 1.1.12-1; thanks for maintaining!

graysky commented on 2016-01-14 22:57 (UTC)

@DryEagle - Can't reproduce on my system. How are you building it? If you're not using makepkg, use makepkg.

commented on 2016-01-14 17:06 (UTC)

won't let me update because it has a dependency of backintime-cli 1.1.8 but it wants to overwrite it to install 1.1.12 and can't. had the same issue at 1.1.10 as well. please fix the pkgbuild

catalin.hritcu commented on 2016-01-10 22:22 (UTC)

@tahayassen - validpgpkeys= is the Arch standard not just for the AUR but for all packages. Suggest you read the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Signature_checking

Germar commented on 2015-09-12 00:24 (UTC)

@tahayassen AFAIK this is a new directive for AUR Packages to make sure you won't install packages which where manipulated by a man in the middle. Maybe the Arch folks can explain this better. I'm just the Dev of BackInTime and have only little experience with Arch...

tahayassen commented on 2015-09-11 23:40 (UTC)

@Germar Why does this package require a separate key? If everyone did this, using the AUR would be quite inconvenient since we'd have to add keys for each package we want to install.

Germar commented on 2015-09-08 17:17 (UTC)

@nielsvd this was answered several times below. You need to run gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 615F366D944B4826 once to add my key.

I am also having these errors when trying to start the root version. Blank windows if done from terminal and nothing starts at all when using the menu icon in gnome. Are there any known fixes yet?

The last versions of backintime does not report done state to the status bar. The last message ever written in the status bar is 'Saving permissions...' - the 'Done' message never appears. Have anyone seen this problem ?

graysky commented on 2015-05-04 19:22 (UTC)

Yep, works without the larger package set. Updated and thanks.

Germar commented on 2015-05-04 18:52 (UTC)

@CanalGuada @graysky AFAIK BIT only uses /usr/bin/xdpyinfo. On Debian this is in package x11-utils. But as Arch has separate packages for each, it should be enough to only use xorg-xdpyinfo instead of xorg-utils. Didn't test this yet as I have no working Arch at hand at the moment.

CanalGuada commented on 2015-04-30 16:21 (UTC)

Have got an issue with nautilus file manager (properties dialog box didn't show without clicking on the main window), under GNOME desktop (didn't check further) after installing this package. Resolved building Qt4 GUI without xorg-utils dependency (on my own desktop, had only to install xorg-xlsatoms, xorg-xlsclients, xorg-xvinfo and xorg-xwininfo packages, that were missing in order to complete this meta package) that seems (at least wholly) unnecessary here.

@MightyPork - It was answered for you the last time you asked. You need to add the key server 'gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 615F366D944B4826'

Germar commented on 2015-01-31 19:54 (UTC)

Ah okay. Missed your second post before answering. So this would pin down the problem to Qt4. Could you reinstall that and all dependencies?

lockheed commented on 2015-01-31 19:50 (UTC)

Other than qtconfig-qt4 (which is affected by the same issue), I know of no other QT apps that I have.

Germar commented on 2015-01-31 19:49 (UTC)

Did you check if other Qt4 Apps run straight with root?

lockheed commented on 2015-01-31 19:48 (UTC)

I mean: the qtconfig-qt4 window displays no content. Vicious circle...

lockheed commented on 2015-01-31 19:47 (UTC)

@Germar, What you wrote gave me an idea to change QT theme for root. So I run "sudo qtconfig-qt4". But... I run into exactly the same problem.

Germar commented on 2015-01-31 19:39 (UTC)

I can't explain nor reproduce it neither, sorry. Last update came with huge changes especially for GUI (it's now pure Qt4). I only have two thinks you could check: 1. on my Arch-VM BackInTime started as root shows up with this ugly, Win95-style default theme. Not the theme you selected. Maybe there is no such default theme on your machine, or your selected theme does make some troubles with this? 2. next version 1.1.2 (coming soon) will call 'pkexec backintime-qt4' for root. You could try out if this helps by coping http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bit-team/backintime/trunk/view/head:/qt4/net.launchpad.backintime.policy to /usr/share/polkit-1/action/ and run 'pkexec backintime-qt4'

I can't explain it nor can I reproduce it :/ Perhaps Germar [one of the BIT devs] has some ideas.

lockheed commented on 2015-01-30 20:32 (UTC)

@graysky, I created a new empty /root folder and run sudo backintime, but the problem persists. Up until the recent upgrade, I did not have such issues.

graysky commented on 2015-01-30 20:03 (UTC)

@lockheed - I found this if I didn't have a ttf installed which is why I added the meta packages ttf-font to the qt4 package. For me, I can call backintime as my user or root via sudo and it displays just fine. Not sure what's wrong with your system. Does your /root dir have anything in it that would override or ignore system fonts? Just for the hell of it, can you create a fresh /root dir with no profiles or the like and see if you get that same behavior?

Germar commented on 2015-01-30 12:15 (UTC)

@lockheed Could you please post a screenshot?

lockheed commented on 2015-01-30 12:08 (UTC)

@Germar, why would a missing font affect root, but not user? I installed this package but the problem persists.

Germar commented on 2015-01-30 11:57 (UTC)

@lockheed sounds like missing fonts. Did you install 'ttf-font' from dependencies?

lockheed commented on 2015-01-30 10:57 (UTC)

I can run backintime as user fine, but if I run it as root, all the qt4 dialog boxes are empty gray slabs of space in the shape and size of windows of user-run backintime.

optomus commented on 2015-01-25 23:52 (UTC)

This rectified my situation. gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 615F366D944B4826 I am assuming it was due to the lack of a keyserver in the gpg.conf file though it is unfortunate that https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Signature_checking does not have a more thorough description or a link to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG as it made this process confusing. Thank you for maintaining!

commented on 2015-01-25 23:49 (UTC)

Optomus (and MightyPork), you need to specify a keyserver, like this: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 944B4826

optomus commented on 2015-01-25 23:24 (UTC)

I am having the same problem as MightyPork. I am on a fresh install and having read the link posted, I found that I did not have a ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg. I tried to then add the key with"gpg --recv-keys 615F366D944B4826" and recieve "gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available". I know this is not a help board though I have spent a few hours now trying to rectify the problem and this is likely the most direct route.

warning: cannot resolve "ttf", a dependency of "backintime" It works when I remove "ttf" as a dependency.

willemw commented on 2015-01-17 12:57 (UTC)

The 'depends' and 'conflicts' lists are lists of "provide" names, not package names. Each package implicitly provides 'pkgname'. If correctly defined in *.bzr packages: - depends=(name of the non-devel default provide name) - conflicts=(name of the non-devel default provide name) then your point 2) will not occur, because the package manager will see a package conflict between, for example, 'backintime' and 'backintime-bzr'.

graysky commented on 2015-01-17 12:47 (UTC)

OK.. 1) removed python from deps since python-keyring pulls it. 2) are you sure that your brz packages don't try to overwrite key files this pkg provides?

willemw commented on 2015-01-17 12:42 (UTC)

'python2-keyring' and 'python2-secretstorage' already pull in 'python2'. All the *-bzr packages here already 'provide' and 'conflict' the non-bzr package names. A normal package should usually not know about the related devel package. For another thread maybe: I have now a problem with the new backintime-bzr (QT4) / backintime-cli-bzr: cannot use version numbers in 'depends' as you do, because they are *-bzr packages, so when upgrading backintime-bzr (qt4), there is no message that says to also upgrade backintime-cli-bzr, in case that is installed. Note: backintime-cli maybe be installed instead of backintime-cli-bzr. Actually, I tried 'depends=("backintime-cli-bzr=$pkgver" ...) in 'backintime-bzr' and it seems to work, but I am not sure it is allowed (in the AUR).

graysky commented on 2015-01-17 12:10 (UTC)

@wllemw - Yes, trying to see how to allow the PKGBUILD to show a set of packages has optdeps... might need to open a forum thread. Also, why is python not needed as a dep and why shouldn't I conflict with the vcs packages?

willemw commented on 2015-01-17 08:24 (UTC)

Some feedback on the PKGBUILD file itself (hope you don't mind): the dependencies in the PKGBUILD file are are not equivalent to the dependencies in the backintime README file, however maybe you are still working on that. Also, you should not have to specify 'python' and the '*-bzr' packages.

graysky commented on 2015-01-16 21:05 (UTC)

OK gang! Germar has released version 1.1.0 which a qt4 gui. I have a draft PKGBUILD that I would like you guys to test out.

@graysky did you accidentally remove 's/gksu/gksudo/g' patch from new PKGBUILD (take a look at my comment from 2014-03-03)? This should stay as I will not change this upstream. Other distries work fine with gksu.

@catalin - backintime is the base package, the other three flavors provide GUIs without forcing users to pull down deps if they don't want it. The next release of backintime will be only qt so the gnome and gtk packages will disappear when it is released. Until then, you will have to use makepkg and manually install what you want.

catalin.hritcu commented on 2014-04-28 17:23 (UTC)

About the aura problem, it's quite justified given that this package depends on itself. WTF?

catalin.hritcu commented on 2014-04-28 17:18 (UTC)

> Build the packages with $ makepkg and install only either -gnome or -gtk but not both. This works, but it's a strange work-flow, and it confuses both yaourt (the conflict willll reported) and aura (Determining dependencies... forever). Why not split this into 3 separate packages?

neitsab commented on 2014-04-08 22:03 (UTC)

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?

orschiro commented on 2014-04-04 11:42 (UTC)

@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. :)

Germar commented on 2014-04-04 09:03 (UTC)

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

orschiro commented on 2014-04-04 05:43 (UTC)

@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).

Germar commented on 2014-04-03 21:17 (UTC)

@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.

orschiro commented on 2014-04-03 06:42 (UTC)

@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?

Germar commented on 2014-03-11 21:30 (UTC)

@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.

JeroenMathon commented on 2014-03-11 20:10 (UTC)

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

orschiro commented on 2014-03-06 07:29 (UTC)

@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' &"

Germar commented on 2014-03-04 14:08 (UTC)

@ottomops and @orschiro this is because BIT is using 'Auto Host/User/ProfileID' (General Settings below Advanced) by default and 'User' now changed to 'root' (how it should be). But your existing profile was configured with User 'orschiro' or 'ottomops' or whatever your normal user is called. I'd suggest to keep 'gksudo' but manually deactivate 'Auto Host/User/ProfileID' and change 'User' back to your normal users name. Or alternative rename the snapshot folder '/path/to/backintime/<HOST>/<USER>' into '/path/to/backintime/<HOST>/root' if there are only snapshots for root inside.

orschiro commented on 2014-03-04 12:57 (UTC)

@Germar I can confirm what ottomops says. My previously made backups are not longer recognised. Though now I can successfully create the udev rule. So what is the optimal solution? gksu or gksudo?

ottomops commented on 2014-03-04 09:21 (UTC)

Since using gksudo my backup folder is not recognized anymore by backintime. Changing the starter back to gksu fixed it for me. So I would vote for going back to gksu.

graysky commented on 2014-03-03 21:10 (UTC)

Bump to v1.0.34-3 Changelog: Per Garmar's request, modified gnome/gtk .desktop file to use gksudo rather than gksu.

Germar commented on 2014-03-03 13:03 (UTC)

@orschiro You are already root because of "gksu backintime-gnome". That's why you are not asked for your root pw again. I just found out that Arch gksu behave different than Debian gksu. "gksu env | grep -e '^USER=\|^LOGNAME='" should print root for both but on Arch it will print orschiro which causes your problems. Using "gksudo backintime-gnome" instead should solve this. @graysky Could you please change 'gnome/backintime-gnome-root.desktop' to use 'gksudo'?

orschiro commented on 2014-03-03 05:52 (UTC)

@Germar When you said that something is wrong with my user, I deleted the udev rule and started from scratch. I launched `gksu backintime-gnome` and tried to recreate the udev rule. I selected Schedule: When drive gets connected. But then I get the error: `Failed to create udev rules` The CLI output: Profile: Arch Linux System Automatic backup: When drive get connected (udev) Command "gksudo -m "Please provide your sudo password to install the udev rule." -- cp "/tmp/tmpFn8HNV" "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-backintime-orschiro.rules"" returns 256 That is, I am not asked for my root password.

qqqqqqqqq9 commented on 2014-03-03 00:32 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing it up that it's all about teaching us not to use AUR-Helpers and run makepkg by hand. An Optdepend wouldn't suck at all, the only "harm" it would do is an additional line being printed out during installation.

Germar commented on 2014-03-02 17:04 (UTC)

@orschiro There is something wrong with the user in that udev rule (/usr/bin/su - 'orschiro' [...] vs. /root/.config[...]). It should be either 'orschiro' OR 'root'. But not mixed. How did you start BIT? With sudo or gksu?

orschiro commented on 2014-03-02 08:28 (UTC)

@mojtabazn You have to build the package manually and then selectively install only backintime-gnome or backintime-gtk but not both

mojtabazn commented on 2014-03-02 05:04 (UTC)

Germar commented on 2014-02-26 13:50 (UTC)

@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.

orschiro commented on 2014-02-26 10:53 (UTC)

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!

orschiro commented on 2014-02-21 11:46 (UTC)

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.

qqqqqqqqq9 commented on 2014-02-17 10:58 (UTC)

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?

graysky commented on 2014-01-28 20:44 (UTC)

It is in the PKGBUILD... not sure why the AUR isn't listing it: depends=('openssh' 'python2' 'rsync' 'cron' 'python2-keyring' 'python2-secretstorage')

Sorry, missed your note about the patch.

Germar commented on 2014-01-12 19:18 (UTC)

@graysky please use this patch to fix slow startup/unresponsiveness with BIT running as root: http://pastebin.com/znjrQKtT It will disable keyring for root completely as there is no use of it and it just causes annoying troubles.

orschiro commented on 2014-01-09 06:44 (UTC)

@Germar Unfortunately the unresponsiveness (maybe related to what petaramesh reported about slow startup) returned. The workaround of creating /root/.cache does not help to reduce this lagging. This is the content of /root/.cache [root@thinkpad orschiro]# ls -la /root/.cache total 36 drwx------ 6 root root 4096 Jan 8 10:43 . drwxr-x--- 19 root root 4096 Jan 9 06:43 .. drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Nov 11 00:12 dconf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 Dec 1 09:12 event-sound-cache.tdb.thinkpad.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 7 2013 gstreamer-1.0 drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Nov 11 00:12 keyring-SeKFqn drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Apr 7 2013 thumbnails

Germar commented on 2014-01-06 20:57 (UTC)

@petaramesh this is only with BIT running as root, correct? If so this is caused by https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711810. For workaround you can either create '/root/.cache' or set environ 'BIT_USE_KEYRING=false' before starting BackInTime. E.g. 'gksu env BIT_USE_KEYRING=false backintime-gnome'

petaramesh commented on 2014-01-06 09:43 (UTC)

Latest update causes backintime to now take about ONE FULL MINUTE at startup, before opening (waiting while nothing seems to happen, assuming the program startup failed, but well... it didn't...), or before reacting when shifting profile. Happens on 2 different machines here. Besides that... It works.

Yea ofc. Thanks for your efforts guys!

Germar commented on 2013-12-19 20:20 (UTC)

We are currently working on a new major version 1.1.0 which will come with only one Qt4 GUI. It will run on all DEs so there is no need for splitting anymore. So maybe you could live with the current situation for a couple more month until we are done with 1.1.0?

blackshark commented on 2013-12-19 19:29 (UTC)

Imho the simplest would be to split into different packages with dependencies. But actually I do not master this kind of stuff, so I can't help you on this... :/

graysky commented on 2013-12-19 19:24 (UTC)

Perhaps you are referring to the group options? I'm not sure how to deal with that for this split PKGBUILD. Basically, I can remove the -gtk option but then non-gnome users will have extra deps to use BIT which is something I don't want to force on people. I am open to suggestions to make this easier.

blackshark commented on 2013-12-19 19:21 (UTC)

Sure, I understand, and thanks for your job! If I remember when you install Gnome (all the environment) that ask you which package you want to install.

graysky commented on 2013-12-19 19:15 (UTC)

I'm doing my best to keep the PKGBUILD as close to the Distro Standards as possible. Adding a selector to it would be over the top indeed. Which gnome packages offer this?

blackshark commented on 2013-12-19 19:10 (UTC)

@graysky: Why do not implement a selector (like for gnome packages) ? It's pretty impratical to update/install your package. It's a pity because your work is really good!

graysky commented on 2013-12-19 12:18 (UTC)

Just build first, and install second. makepkg -src makepkg -U ...

fleaz commented on 2013-12-19 12:17 (UTC)

@graysky: How do I select if I want bit-gnome or bit-gtk? I cant't find the part in the PKGBUILD where I can select if -gnome or -gtk should be installed

graysky commented on 2013-12-14 23:31 (UTC)

You got it... plz post here when you want it bumped.

Germar commented on 2013-12-14 23:26 (UTC)

Please hold back new release 1.0.32 for couple days. There is a second serious issue in this release (BIT root will shutdown system). We will release a new version soon.

graysky commented on 2013-12-14 10:34 (UTC)

You can only install one of them... if running gnome use -gnome, if not, use -gtk. Look at the PKGBUILD, -gnome has more dependencies.

piedro commented on 2013-12-14 09:31 (UTC)

I get the message that dependencies can't be resolved: backintime-gnome and backintime-gtk ... None of these is installed. What am I missing? p.

Germar commented on 2013-11-10 20:40 (UTC)

The patch is still necessary cause there are other problems with keyring, too. Please post the output of the Exec command in '/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.secrets.service' running with sudo. This should be 'sudo /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets'

orschiro commented on 2013-11-10 10:48 (UTC)

I can confirm what graysky reports. `gksu backintime-gnome` causes a timeout of ~20 seconds although /root/.cache exists.

graysky commented on 2013-11-10 10:45 (UTC)

So on my system, I do have /root/.cache but running `gksu backintime-gnome` causes a delay of around 24 sec before the GUI appears.

graysky commented on 2013-11-10 10:32 (UTC)

...is the patch still needed if /root/.cache is indeed present?

graysky commented on 2013-11-10 00:44 (UTC)

I can add a check for this to the readme.install if needed...

Germar commented on 2013-11-09 23:18 (UTC)

Found the reason for that timeout on 'gksu backintime-gnome': /root/.cache is missing :D Just run 'sudo mkdir /root/.cache' and all should be fine again. Take a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/1181344

orschiro commented on 2013-11-05 12:53 (UTC)

@Germar It raises the exception: ~ $ gksu -- python2 -c "import keyring" [...] dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. I have no idea what caused the delay in the first place, but I think it is working now responsively. In case I have this issue again, I will report again. Thanks!

Germar commented on 2013-11-04 22:18 (UTC)

Hmm, strange. My last patch should set 'BIT_USE_KEYRING=false' automatically after 'import keyring' first time raised an exception and block subsequent 'import keyring'. Looks like this doesn't work on your system. Please post the output of 'gksu -- python2 -c "import keyring" ' This should normally raise dbus.exceptions.DBusException

orschiro commented on 2013-11-04 21:45 (UTC)

@Germar I did not patch it manually but installed the updated PKGBUILD. Yet I can confirm that your first hack is working like a charm. The GUI is responsive and startup fast as hell. :) ~ $ BIT_USE_KEYRING=false gksu backintime-gnome gksu-run: :0 gksu-run: gksu/backintime-gnome/7765-0-thinkpad_TIME0 gksu-run: d2939297000f65e4dbf60514332d3568 WARNING: import keyring failed

Germar commented on 2013-11-04 20:32 (UTC)

@orschiro did you manually patch /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/keyring/backends/SecretService.py to not throw an exception anymore? Please try to run 'BIT_USE_KEYRING=false gksu backintime-gnome' (this should start BIT immediately without timeout on start). If that will still give you an unresponsive GUI please comment out lines 28-32 in /usr/share/backintime/common/tools.py (starting from 'try:' to 'os.putenv(...)' including those lines) If this both doesn't fix it I'd say there is an other problem on your system ;-)

orschiro commented on 2013-11-04 07:16 (UTC)

@Germar Thanks for the patch. However, the GUI is still very unresponsive. One example is profile switching which takes ~45 seconds. But never mind. Can be also a problem on my system only.

Germar commented on 2013-10-31 20:40 (UTC)

@orschiro I can confirm the unresponsive GUI now. There is something repeatedly trying to 'import keyring' again and again and always running into the same timeout. That shouldn't happen. I'll have a look.

orschiro commented on 2013-10-31 20:08 (UTC)

@Germar Sorry for having been sloppy. The ~30sec startup time for the GUI to come up is totally fine for me. And I thought your workaround referred only to this. Yet the unresponsive GUI is slightly annoying since I can never be sure if my button clicks where already recognised and simply take time to be processed. Thus I wanted to make sure if it is related to the workaround as well or another problem on my system.

Germar commented on 2013-10-31 14:24 (UTC)

@orschiro do you remember your post from 22. Oct? "I have no problem to wait ~30sec". It takes a while because I added the workaround for the bug in python-secretstorage which will always run into a timeout on root account. I'm not sure about if it's generally slower and unresponsive. Maybe this is just because you are getting bored during waiting for GUI to come up?

orschiro commented on 2013-10-31 06:34 (UTC)

Do you encounter the same that when opening Backintime (root), it takes a while for the interface to show up and the program behaves quite slowly and feels unresponsive?

I have a small private repo with a few packages I build from [AUR]—including backintime. But since I’m not a trusted user or something like that, you are probably more comfortable with graysky’s suggestion.

orschiro commented on 2013-10-25 06:00 (UTC)

@graysky Personally I think it would be great if you can set up a repo for precompiled packages! Thanks ahead

graysky commented on 2013-10-24 20:35 (UTC)

The split package is IMO the way to package Backintime since there are common components and specific components with unique dependencies. I understand that it breaks the functionality of AUR helper scripts. I don't want to break it into 4 different PKGBUILD since all are created from the same source tarball. That would require users to download a minimum of two different PKGBUILD files (common + whatever GUI). Is there interest in an unofficial repo to build precompiled packages for backintime+deps? I am reluctant to just throw them into repo-ck but perhaps I can spin up another sub-repo specifically for the BIT packages.

blackshark commented on 2013-10-24 20:14 (UTC)

That's sux. Why don't split it in distinct packages ?

orschiro commented on 2013-10-24 20:10 (UTC)

@blackshark Unfortunately yes.

blackshark commented on 2013-10-24 20:09 (UTC)

Ok.. but I have to do manual updating ? If yes this isn't a good new.

orschiro commented on 2013-10-24 20:05 (UTC)

@blackshark Yes. See the comments below. The latest big update split backintime into different packages.

blackshark commented on 2013-10-24 19:42 (UTC)

Is it normal than I can't install BIT with Yaourt ? I need to perform update by pacman -U...

petaramesh commented on 2013-10-23 09:25 (UTC)

It works now \o/ Thanks !

orschiro commented on 2013-10-23 06:20 (UTC)

@Germar Thanks so much! I am finally again able to take a (root) backup. Keep on your work on this excellent piece of software!

Germar commented on 2013-10-22 21:50 (UTC)

Thanks! You didn't test the new udev schedule yet. So there is no udev rule to delete. If you do I'd appreciate some feedback.

graysky commented on 2013-10-22 21:35 (UTC)

...and welcome to Arch!

graysky commented on 2013-10-22 21:35 (UTC)

On my system, only the first line in the readme.install applied; the other two returned nulls (fine with the -f switch). Thanks again for your active development of this excellent util.

Germar commented on 2013-10-22 20:44 (UTC)

@graysky I was uncomfortable with fiddling around in home, too. But with 'purge' people expect to have a complete clean start again and where complaining that the config is still in there (most times their problems where somewhere else than config) Anyways, removing the udev rules and .pyc should be enough.

graysky commented on 2013-10-22 20:28 (UTC)

Bump to v1.0.28-5 Changelog: Applied upstream patch to fix gksu issues.

graysky commented on 2013-10-22 20:28 (UTC)

@Germar - Done and done. Your question about a purge function is, I think, answered in the readme.install file which I included. I kept a few lines of the script you referenced, but I think it's an Arch no-no to modify any file in a user homedir so I omitted that bit. Look in the readme.install to see.

graysky commented on 2013-10-22 20:26 (UTC)

@hal - Read down a few comments; AUR helper scripts do not seem to handle split packages with the dep structure well.

Germar commented on 2013-10-22 18:46 (UTC)

@graysky please append this patch[1]. It will fix both the 'gksu backintime-gnome' problem and the 'backintime-askpass' problem. 'python2-gnomekeyring' is now save to be removed completely but keep 'python2-secretstorage' in deps. I'm not sure if there is something similar to 'apt-get purge' in Arch (I'm quite new to Arch). But if it is, it would be wise to implement the same as we do for Debian/Ubuntu in 'common/debian_specific/postrm'[2]. This will purge all config, udev rules and other leftovers.

I had the same problem as hal and managed to install backintime-kde4 by running pacman -U /tmp/yaourt-tmp-hal/backintime-1.0.28-4-any.pkg.tar.xz pacman -U /tmp/yaourt-tmp-hal/backintime-kde4-1.0.28-4-any.pkg.tar.xz (adapted to your username, hal)

orschiro commented on 2013-10-22 05:15 (UTC)

@Germar I vote for the second option. I have no problem to wait ~30sec. I need a stable and reliable Backup software so the first option is no real option. I don't want the program to crash during backup.

Germar commented on 2013-10-21 23:08 (UTC)

Nope, it's not fixed yet. I can make a patch for you guy's but I'm still waiting on comments which solution you want (take a look at my comments below): 1. turn back like it was done in the fix for 1.0.26 and risk a segfault or 2. catch the exception thrown by 'import keyring' and deactivate storing to keyring in that case. This will probably add a ~30sec timeout on every 'gksu backintime-gnome' The 3rd option to port BIT from gtk 2.x to Gtk+ 3.x is not an option as it would take several weeks or months. So please let me know what you want.

graysky commented on 2013-10-21 22:27 (UTC)

It should not. Germar is one of the upstream devs. Perhaps he can answer your question.

orschiro commented on 2013-10-21 21:17 (UTC)

@graysky Thanks for your effort! I was able to install -any and -gtk. Yet 1.0.28-4 does not fix the gksu problem yet, correct?

graysky commented on 2013-10-21 20:41 (UTC)

Bump to v1.0.28-4 HOW TO INSTALL: 1) For this version bump you do actually have to uninstall the previous version of the package. 2) Install the common package at the same at as you optionally install a GUI like this: sudo pacman -U backintime-gtk-1.0.28-4-any.pkg.tar.xz backintime-1.0.28-4-any.pkg.tar.xz Changes to PKGBUILD: * name change /qt4/kde4/ * broke out the 'backintime' package which is common to all GUIs * added openssh as a dep per Germar's comment * added sshfs and encfs as deps per Germar's comment (note that 'cron' included anacron, at least it does with cronie the Arch default) * builds backintime-notify now (long standing gap) * changed backintime-kde4 deps per Germar's comments

Germar commented on 2013-10-21 20:03 (UTC)

@graysky I had a look on PKGBUILD and would like to add some notes: - openssh should be in depends array as it contain ssh-agent which is started with every BIT session because of a bug in ssh-add - optdepends should have sshfs, encfs and maybe anacron if that isn't installed by default on Arch. - you don't build backintime-notify at all (notify folder in tarball). This is a BIT-plugin for notifying user about errors. - backintime-qt4 (or backintime-kde4) doesn't need python2-gnomekeyring. python2-secretstorage or python-keyring-kwallet (don't know which package this is in Arch) will do the job on KDE - backintime-qt4 (or backintime-kde4) should have 'kompare' at least in optdepends Kind regards, Germar

graysky commented on 2013-10-21 09:00 (UTC)

@germar - I will change the qt4 suffix to kde4. @petara - I will break out a common package from the gutless, gnome, and kde4 variants as well as fix the kde4/gtk/gnome simultaneous deps. I won't be able to do it until later today though.

petaramesh commented on 2013-10-21 08:04 (UTC)

@graysky I'm not using makepkg/pacman, I'm using the excellent "yaourt" tool (check https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/yaourt ) that includes the full functionalities of pacman, plus automatizes compilation/installation of AUR packages. yaourt builds the packages, and installs every produced package it finds. If the build produced several final packages, it installs them all. If the build produced mutually-incompatible packages, then it breaks. Also, backintime-kde4 and backintime-gnome were *not* incompatible in previous packages versions, and I'd like to have both installed, because I have both environments on my systems, and different users use different environments, so having both backintime versions installed is great. What used to work 3 days ago, doesn't work anymore, that's why I say it's now broken.

Germar commented on 2013-10-20 22:13 (UTC)

Oh, I forgot an other option: I could just catch the exception that is thrown on 'import keyring' and deactivate storing passwords in keyring in that case (there would still be a ~30sec timeout). While root normally doesn't have a Keyring (and so 'gksu backintime' neither) this wouldn't make any difference. I think I would preferred this option ;)

Germar commented on 2013-10-20 22:05 (UTC)

@graysky you're right. This has nothing to do with the package split. It is a bug in python2-secretstorage (upstream, not in Runiq's AUR package). I don't know how to fix this by now. But I would like to discus the options: With python2-keyring 3.X the python2-gnomekeyring fail silently and refuse to work. This is because BIT statically import gtk with 'import gtk' (old variant with gtk 2.0) and python2-gnomekeyring dynamically import Gtk with 'from gi.repository import Gtk' (new variant with Gtk+ 3.0). As a workaround in the fix I provided for 1.0.26 I imported 'keyring' before 'gtk'. So gnomekeyring was working again but there was 'Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion 'g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed' during every start of BIT and I was afraid this could cause a segfault in BIT. So I decide to remove 'import keyring' before 'import gtk' again and let gnomekeyring fail silently. python2-secretstorage does the same and should replace python2-gnomekeyring. If all would have went well you could remove python2-gnomekeyring. As long as the bug in python2-secretstorage isn't fixed we could go back like it was done in the fix (just add 'import keyring' at the start of gnome/app.py, remove python2-secretstorage but keep python2-gnomekeyring) and risk a segfault. An other fix would be to port BIT from gtk 2.X to Gtk+ 3.0 which would take enormous effort. And in long terms I'm actually thinking about removing backintime-gnome completely and only provide a pure backintime-qt4 (didn't discus this with anyone yet). The current backintime-kde4 uses lots of KDE bindings but I think they could be transformed to pure Qt4 with relative low effort. This would make future dev lot easier because we don't need to handle two GUI's anymore. The Gnome GUI is quite a mess in code anyways. KDE GUI was rewritten and is more straight. BTW: the 'backintime-qt4' package name is misleading. As I stated above it uses KDE4 not pure Qt4.

graysky commented on 2013-10-20 20:31 (UTC)

@Germar - Please advice on a solution since this seems to be an upstream bug. Also, you wrote, "python-keyring changed from 1.6.1 to 3.X and we added python2-secretstorage dependencies as replacement for python-gnomekeyring." That is not totally accurate since the pkg depends on both: * python2-secretstorage * python2-gnomekeyring Is this correct or is python2-secretstorage meant to actually replace python2-gnomekeyring? In other words, should I modify the dependency array?

graysky commented on 2013-10-20 20:28 (UTC)

@orschiro - I don't think that statement is accurate, in other words, the split package has nothing to do with this error. I have old versions of my packages (or you too may download one from the aur-mirror.git[1] for this package). I can verify that indeed 1.0.26-6 can reproduce this bug: % gksu backintime-gnome Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/backintime/gnome/app.py", line 23, in <module> import keyring File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/keyring/__init__.py", line 12, in <module> from .core import (set_keyring, get_keyring, set_password, get_password, File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/keyring/core.py", line 141, in <module> init_backend() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/keyring/core.py", line 63, in init_backend keyrings = backend.get_all_keyring() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/keyring/util/__init__.py", line 24, in wrapper func.always_returns = func(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/keyring/backend.py", line 127, in get_all_keyring exceptions=TypeError)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/keyring/util/__init__.py", line 35, in suppress_exceptions for callable in callables: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/keyring/backend.py", line 119, in is_class_viable keyring_cls.priority File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/keyring/util/properties.py", line 20, in __get__ return self.fget.__get__(None, owner)() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/keyring/backends/SecretService.py", line 28, in priority secretstorage.Collection(bus) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/secretstorage/collection.py", line 35, in __init__ collection_obj = bus_get_object(bus, SECRETS, collection_path) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/secretstorage/util.py", line 42, in bus_get_object return bus.get_object(name, object_path) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 241, in get_object follow_name_owner_changes=follow_name_owner_changes) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 248, in __init__ self._named_service = conn.activate_name_owner(bus_name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 180, in activate_name_owner self.start_service_by_name(bus_name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 278, in start_service_by_name 'su', (bus_name, flags))) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 651, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply.

Germar commented on 2013-10-20 19:44 (UTC)

python-keyring changed from 1.6.1 to 3.X and we added python2-secretstorage dependencies as replacement for python-gnomekeyring

orschiro commented on 2013-10-20 19:38 (UTC)

@Germar The gksu bug is interesting because it worked flawlessly before the package splitting. Now idea what changed since then though.

Germar commented on 2013-10-20 19:25 (UTC)

Regarding backintime-askpass: this is bad coding by me (shame on me ;) ). backintime-askpass is missing environs ASKPASS_PROFILE_ID and ASKPASS_MODE. But you don't need to start backintime-askpass at all. It is used by ssh-add and encfs and in that time Backintime set those environs by it self. You don't need to report this upstream. I'm aware of now and will take care. regarding gksu backintime-gnome: I got a hint about this bug some month ago on Xubuntu and reported that on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-keyring/+bug/1181344. No response yet. Maybe that wasn't the right place for the bug. I'll try to bump that bug. Kind regards, Germar, BIT-Team PS: I'd appreciate some feedback about new udev schedule.

graysky commented on 2013-10-20 18:33 (UTC)

Nothing is badly broken; stop using AUR helper scripts if you don't understand the basics of makepkg/pacman. 1) makepkg -src 2) pacman -U name.pkg.tar.xz Where name is one of the following: backintime = cli only backintime-gtk = gtk client+cli backintime-gnome = gnome client+cli (only difference here is more deps) backintime-qt4 = kde4 client+cli

petaramesh commented on 2013-10-20 16:20 (UTC)

Latest version is badly broken: - Cannot install using "yaourt" as it generates 4 mutually-incompatible packages (which wasn't previously the case) - Now impossible to run and backup as root, both the -kde4 version with kdesudo, or gnome version with gksu, bail out in error complaining about a Dbus issue. ...And I badly need to be able to continue performing my system's backups as root...

gatonero commented on 2013-10-20 15:53 (UTC)

Please submit a step by step instruction how to install this package now. I don't get a question for one of the four possible selections but an error: Fehler: Nicht lösbare Paketkonflikte gefunden Fehler: Konnte den Vorgang nicht vorbereiten (In Konflikt stehende Abhängigkeiten) :: backintime-gnome und backintime-gtk stehen miteinander in Konflikt

graysky commented on 2013-10-20 11:24 (UTC)

@farnsworth - You are doing nothing wrong; this is the expected behavior. Once you have built the four, you need to select which of them is right for you. backintime = cli only backintime-gtk = gtk client+cli backintime-gnome = gnome client+cli (only difference here is more deps) backintime-qt4 = kde4 client+cli

blackshark commented on 2013-10-20 10:24 (UTC)

@orschiro - The same for me.(1.0.28-3)

farnsworth commented on 2013-10-20 10:09 (UTC)

Same problem as orschiro. Also, the PKGBUILD creates 4 packages, backintime-1.0.28-3-any.pkg.tar.xz, backintime-gnome-1.0.28-3-any.pkg.tar.xz, backintime-gtk-1.0.28-3-any.pkg.tar.xz, backintime-qt4-1.0.28-3-any.pkg.tar.xz, and fails installing. What did I do wrong ?

graysky commented on 2013-10-20 10:05 (UTC)

@orschiro - I get the same with 1.0.28-3 or with 1.0.26-6. Please open a ticket upstream.

orschiro commented on 2013-10-20 07:41 (UTC)

Does someone else have a problem with running `gksu backintime-gnome`? I get the following dbus error: http://pastebin.com/eS7kTHm5 Aside from Cinnamon I have installed the following packages: gnome-keyring 3.10.1-1 libgnome-keyring 3.10.1-1 python2-gnomekeyring 2.32.0-14 python2-keyring 3.0.5-1

@blackshark - Well, I just downgraded to 1.0.26-6 and I get the same error when attempting to run backintime-askpass so I am concluding that this is something upstream or I am missing a dependency in the PKGBUILD.

@zozo - Yes, see my previous comment about AUR helper scripts.

noplomplom commented on 2013-10-19 19:06 (UTC)

@graysky: tried to remove backintime first, then reinstall it with the new PKGBUILD, to no avail, same error. But I tried to install it with packer. That would be the explanation, then? Anyway, packer builds the packages alright, I just have to "cd" into the build directory and "pacman -U" does the trick.

graysky commented on 2013-10-19 19:01 (UTC)

@orschiro - I don't use helper scripts believing that they are all evil ;p The split PKG is designed to do just this type of work. Making separate PKGBUILDs for the various flavors would be inefficient and a pain to maintain.

orschiro commented on 2013-10-19 18:58 (UTC)

@graysky Thanks for clarifying. The drawback with this approach is that it cannot be automatised with helpers such as Aura. What about splitting backintime into separate AUR packages?

graysky commented on 2013-10-19 18:50 (UTC)

@orschiro - When you `makepkg -src` it will build all four packages. You simply need to `pacman -U backintime-foo...` to select the one you want.

orschiro commented on 2013-10-19 18:49 (UTC)

@gravsky So how can I explicitly install the -gtk version instead of the -gnome one? I am on Cinnamon 2.0.2 which now no longer depends on Gnome. Thus I would like to install the gtk version only.

Bump to v1.0.28-2 Changelog: http://backintime.le-web.org/change-log PKG Changelog: The tricks in the PKBUILD that fukawi created are ingenious but cause the AUR to get confused over the deps and also limit the scope of the package to what is installed on the machine that builds it.

That looks right... do you have /usr/bin/anacron on your system? Post the output of: [[ -x /usr/bin/anacron ]] && echo ok

My mistake. #Back In Time system entry, this will be edited by the gui: */15 * * * * test -x /bin/anacron && test -e /root/.config/backintime/anacrontab && /bin/anacron -s -t /root/.config/backintime/anacrontab -S /root/.local/share/backintime/anacron

graysky commented on 2013-10-13 20:40 (UTC)

Is that for your root user or your unprivileged user? Standard notation is to prefix root command with a # and either an $ or % for non-root users.

blackshark commented on 2013-10-13 20:33 (UTC)

Exactly. $ crontab -l #Back In Time system entry, this will be edited by the gui: #Please don't delete these two lines, or all custom backintime entries are going to be deleted next time you call the gui options!

graysky commented on 2013-10-13 20:31 (UTC)

If I understand you correctly, you ran BIT as root and enabled an anacron task but it is not firing. Post the output of: # crontab -l

blackshark commented on 2013-10-13 18:58 (UTC)

Hi, I have a problem with the anacron task. It's looks like there is no task schedule. I don't understand because I've enabled a daily task in the GUI (in root). Did you have an idea ?

@graysky: It actually works like a charm ! Thank you so much !

graysky commented on 2013-10-07 20:10 (UTC)

@blackshark - Yes, you have to edit the PKGBUILD and change the pkgver to provide 1.6.1, update the checksum array and then build it.

blackshark commented on 2013-10-07 20:00 (UTC)

Unfortunatly I have removed the old package (1.6.1-1) from my system and python2-keyring=1.6.1-1 isn't avaible on AUR. Any ideas ?

firun commented on 2013-10-06 22:07 (UTC)

@graysky: Thanks, everything working great now :-)

graysky commented on 2013-10-06 17:09 (UTC)

@firun - I updated the PKGBUILD. Plz verify that it works for your KDE system. @blackshark - Yes, just downgrade until upstream fixes.

blackshark commented on 2013-10-06 15:03 (UTC)

Can I go back after updating python2-keyring (and remove the old package. Yes I know..) ?

firun commented on 2013-10-06 11:56 (UTC)

@graysky: My version of python2-keyring: 1.6.1-1 (not the evil last update ;-) I suppose the requirement "python-kde4" from the readme means a python2 binding for kde, which is kdebindings-python2 (as there are no python-kde packages in arch). For example in Debian, python-kde4 is a package which depends on python2 (http://packages.debian.org/jessie/python-kde4). And again, I've tried both, only kdebindings-python2 made backintime work :-) I think it could be possible that the readme in backintime is outdated, because the version 4.1 mentioned in the readme is quite old, and python3 might not have been an issue at that time...

graysky commented on 2013-10-06 10:21 (UTC)

@firun - What version of python2-keyring are you using? Also, according to the README, the only deps from sources: Common (dependencies: python, rsync, cron) KDE4 (dependencies: x11-utils, python-kde4 (>= 4.1), kompare)

firun commented on 2013-10-06 10:11 (UTC)

@graysky: Is it possible that backintime with KDE requires kdebindings-python2 instead of kdebindings-python? Because as far as I know, backintime uses python2, and I needed to install kdebindings-python2 in order to avoid this error on startup: $ backintime-kde4 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/backintime/kde4/app.py", line 44, in <module> from PyKDE4.kdecore import * ImportError: No module named kdecore Thanks a lot for checking :-)

@Polly you're right. KDirModel.removeColumns() seems to have no affect. Even if I comment out line 273-274 (where unnecessary columns get hidden) removeColumns doesn't change the amount of columns. So I'll append the fix upstream. Thanks

Polly commented on 2013-09-25 09:01 (UTC)

If I understood correctly line 259 in app.py is part of the GUI, in particular controls parts of the list files view. Thus, this is just a graphical problem. I commented the line (as usual with # in front) and the GUI became available. There should be some columns more visible somewhere but since I just started using the application I have no idea. If this workaround leads to any problem I will post it here. Cheers guys.

openssh is indeed only needed for SSH-Mode. But as a workaround of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/841672 BIT always starts a new ssh-agent at startup. Even if you don't use SSH-Mode. If this bug does not occur on Arch-Linux (didn't test that) you can patch remove ssh-agent in common/backintime and gnome/backintime-gnome so you don't need openssh at all if you don't use SSH-Mode. Germar, BIT-Team

rectec commented on 2013-08-14 15:46 (UTC)

Remove 'ssh-agent' from depends and add 'openssh' to optdepends; it's only needed for the remote (SSH File Transfer) backup feature. The program runs fine without it. I'll email you the fixed tarball/PKGBUILD. Thanks.

Corubba commented on 2013-08-14 09:52 (UTC)

Confirmed, build and runs fine for me with installed openssh package from [core]. /usr/bin/ssh-agent is owned by that package.

noplomplom commented on 2013-08-14 09:47 (UTC)

Apparently the package "ssh-agent" does not exist in the repos nor in the AUR. I think ssh-agent is part of "openssh".

Updated PKGBUILD with corrected logic for building the GUI (or not)

daniel_shub commented on 2013-05-02 13:46 (UTC)

@k0Do You need to check GUI_ENFORCE when you are checking for KDE and Gnome, just like you do when they are not found. Alternatively, you could just wrap all the checks in a if [[ ${GUI_ENFORCE} == 1 ]] ; then If you just unset _type, you end up with a bunch of unneeded dependencies. Further, I think python2-gnomekeyring and python2-keyring are only needed if you have a gui, so should only be added to $depends if $_type is not empty.

k0Do commented on 2013-05-02 13:05 (UTC)

@danial_shub I did the GUI_ENFORCE patch cause it won't work else for Xfce, Enlightenment etc. If you unset _type and set GUI_ENFORCE=0, there shouldn't be a GUI at all. Alternatively, you could remove the package checks completely.

daniel_shub commented on 2013-05-02 10:00 (UTC)

@orschiro While the source code is split into common, KDE, and Gnome branches I don't think it makes much sense to split the package. I think just making the PKGBUILD respect the GUI_ENFORCE option would be enough.

orschiro commented on 2013-05-02 09:30 (UTC)

@daniel_shub I assume you are right that the keyring is only needed for the GUI/Gnome version. Maybe it does make sense to split the package into a GUI and non-GUI version?

daniel_shub commented on 2013-05-02 09:27 (UTC)

It seems if you set GUI_ENFORCE=0, but have KDE/Gnome installed that you will still get the gui. Further, if GUI_ENFORCE=0 and you don't have KDE/Gnome installed, I am not sure that either python2-gnomekeyring or python2-keyring are dependencies. Can someone confirm this?

fukawi2 commented on 2013-04-08 22:52 (UTC)

@k0Do I don't have the inclination to host their source downloads for them if they can't even be bothered releasing proper tarballs. Would you like to adopt the package?

k0Do commented on 2013-04-08 16:50 (UTC)

Proposal: Download the tarball once from Launchpad, host it on a custom space. Then you can go with the same checksum till a new release is available.

k0Do commented on 2013-04-08 16:47 (UTC)

@fukawi2 Do you read the official changelog? IMHO 1.0.22 is the official release. http://backintime.le-web.org/change-log/ http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bit-team/backintime/trunk/view/head:/VERSION

sirkingchase commented on 2013-04-08 02:09 (UTC)

Im not sure how to use "SKIP" so after checksum failed I went into the tmp directory and got the "md5sum" of the file then I edited the pkgbuild with that value. After the install it was not executing, terminal gave me error- "ImportError: No module named keyring" I install "mercurial_keyring" from AUR and now it works. Not sure if this needs to be a dependecy. After reading http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5173197/python-import-seems-to-behave-differently-in-mercurial-keyring-py-file "Most likely, hg is running using the system python (2.6) rather than the copy of 2.7 you have installed. Try installing mercurial_keyring and keyring under 2.6, and see if that gets things working as expected."

fukawi2 commented on 2013-04-07 23:15 (UTC)

@test0 See my earlier comment about Launchpad returning different tarballs each download when downloading from the BZR tree tag. I'm tempted to roll this back to 1.0.8 since the new Launchpad development doesn't seem to have formally made any releases. There's tags in the BZR tree, but no downloads available.

test0 commented on 2013-04-07 12:32 (UTC)

security check fails.

orschiro commented on 2013-04-07 09:57 (UTC)

So, what is the solution to cope with the python2 - python3 conflict? [orschiro@thinkpad ~]$ backintime File "/usr/share/backintime/common/backintime.py", line 73 print '' ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

cleger commented on 2013-04-07 02:35 (UTC)

The sed invocation in the PKGBUILD needs to be changed to something like: sed -e 's|^$ssh-agent $\?python |\1python2 |g' -i $pkgdir/usr/bin/* Since 1.0.22, /usr/bin/backintime and /usr/bin/backintime-gnome invoke python through ssh-agent to work around this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/841672

coderkun commented on 2013-04-06 08:22 (UTC)

@Corubba: midori-git [AUR] also needs python 2 (for waf) and has the following in the PKGBUILD: $ msg2 "Python2 fix..." $ sed -i '0,/on/s//on2/' waf wscript maybe fukawi2 can add something like that?

kar commented on 2013-04-05 15:54 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. After I installed "python2-keyring" I can start "backintime-kde4" (as root with kdesu), but if I try to change some settings, there comes a message: ******************************************* Can't connect to KWallet to save password. On Debian you need to install "apt-get install python-keyring-kwallet". ******************************************* The terminal output is (as normal user, there are no wrong outputs as root with kdesu): http://pastebin.com/nzVXRphM

Corubba commented on 2013-04-05 15:26 (UTC)

backintime is using `python` to run, which is a symlink to python3 in arch, but seems to need python2. We need a patch to replace the python calls in the /usr/bin scripts. The missing keyring module is in the aur/python2-keyring package. This need to be a dep.

kar commented on 2013-04-05 14:41 (UTC)

Ok, with "SKIP" I could install this version of BackInTime, but I can't start it and I don't know why?! My desktop is KDE Plasma 4.10.2 Here is the terminal output: http://pastebin.com/AAELeSZn What's going wrong? Can anybody help? Thank you. PS.: The package "backintime-kde4" (from AUR) works fine, but I would like try the new BackInTime version.

cookiewhispers commented on 2013-04-05 12:34 (UTC)

@fukawi2: Since pacman 4.1.0 you can now use SKIP in checksums. That should solve the problem of launchpad generating different tarballs. See Changelog: https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/tree/NEWS

fukawi2 commented on 2013-04-04 23:33 (UTC)

Did you delete your download each time? makepkg -g && rm -f backintime-1.0.22.tar.gz

ValHue commented on 2013-04-04 07:59 (UTC)

Running "makepkg-g" always gives me this value: md5sums = ('3671e8123fe69dc7d13f81ed9d768b14') I put it in PKGBUILD and all ok

fukawi2 commented on 2013-04-03 22:22 (UTC)

OK, it appears Launchpad gives a slightly different tarball each time you download, so the md5sums are always going to fail. Anyone know how to deal with that?

fukawi2 commented on 2013-04-03 22:11 (UTC)

Well it appears upstream have adopted the Ubuntu fork, so here's a new PKGBUILD for 1.0.22 :)

kar commented on 2013-02-12 01:23 (UTC)

Ok, I think it's not really necessary, because version 1.0.8 (I use the KDE4 version) is very stable and for me it runs, runs, runs and runs. ;-) But I don't know, if there are some new features or if it's only for stability- and security-updates.

fukawi2 commented on 2013-02-11 22:45 (UTC)

It seems Ubuntu have forked BIT since upstream dev seems to have come to a halt. I'm unsure if we should switch to track the Ubuntu version or not...

kar commented on 2013-02-11 15:09 (UTC)

I'm not sure, but I think the package is (maybe) outdated?! On the website http://backintime.le-web.org/download_page/ is only version 1.0.8 available, but on Launchpad ( https://launchpad.net/~bit-team/+archive/stable ) is for Ubuntu version 1.0.20 available.

fukawi2 commented on 2013-01-01 06:28 (UTC)

@coderkun Because I'm not a TU, and obviously none of the current TU's have an interest in picking it up.

coderkun commented on 2012-12-31 12:05 (UTC)

Why is BackInTime not in the official repos?—all dependencies are.

Henry78 commented on 2012-10-20 11:23 (UTC)

@graysky: I should also have read the older comments, as the python move was already mentioned. Sorry. @fukawi2: Please bump the pkgrel

fukawi2 commented on 2012-10-20 11:09 (UTC)

What is Manjaro? python-notify is no longer in in the repositories, so there is no point having a dependency for it, optional or otherwise.

k0Do commented on 2012-10-20 07:52 (UTC)

Manjaro still uses python-notify, so please keep also the other dependency (optdepends maybe).

graysky commented on 2012-10-20 00:06 (UTC)

@Henry78 - Dude... Updated your package and read fukawi2's comment about the flag out-of-date abuse... although in your defense, fukawi2 should have bumped the pkgrel to 5 to avoid confusion.

Henry78 commented on 2012-10-19 23:41 (UTC)

:: backintime: requires python-notify which was recently replaced by extra/python2-notify

fukawi2 commented on 2012-10-18 00:57 (UTC)

I understand now; my mirror has not got the pacman db with that change. I will update now.

commented on 2012-10-18 00:30 (UTC)

I think the issue xpumax was bringing up is that python-notify has been removed from the official repositories and replaced with python2-notify. The backintime package is current in that 1.0.8 is the latest version, but the dependencies now include a package that is no longer an officially supported Arch package. This is a problem for someone who always updates to the most current packages as the official package list now tells pacman to replace python-notify with python2-notify, but it can't because of the dependency in this package.

fukawi2 commented on 2012-10-17 23:10 (UTC)

@xpumax Please do not flag packages out of date because of PKGBUILD errors; they are errors, not out of date. My testing shows that it works fine with python-notify rather than python2-notify. Can you provide more information what you've found that doesn't work?

graysky commented on 2012-10-17 14:52 (UTC)

...why is this out-of-date? 1.0.8 is current.

cookiewhispers commented on 2012-10-17 13:13 (UTC)

Dependencies need to be updated: python-notify -> python2-notify

capoeira commented on 2012-10-08 15:05 (UTC)

yea, one doesn't seam to be able to configure the backups at CLI. but it seams, once you configured the profile in the GUI one can reinstall ist without gui and use the profile created before to backup with a cron

k0Do commented on 2012-10-08 10:03 (UTC)

For the CLI options, try "man backintime" or "backintime --help".

k0Do commented on 2012-10-08 09:39 (UTC)

For the CLI options, try "man backintime" or "backintime --help".

capoeira commented on 2012-10-04 16:56 (UTC)

CLI version has all the options the GUI has?

k0Do commented on 2012-10-04 07:43 (UTC)

You can modify PKGBUILD to build only the cli version. Therefore you won't have any GUI and specific dependencies. Maybe you need just the cron entry.

fukawi2 commented on 2012-10-04 01:27 (UTC)

No problem; and that's why it defaults to Gnome instead of KDE if you're running E17 or whatever... Gnome tends to pull less deps than KDE.

capoeira commented on 2012-10-04 01:27 (UTC)

thanks, seams like kdebindings would install even more packages. I wont try it. Thanks for the AUR, this is the only backup software that suites my needs

fukawi2 commented on 2012-10-04 01:18 (UTC)

Because the software is only written with KDE (qt) and Gnome (gtk) bindings; hence you have to have one and/or the other for things to work since the author hasn't written an E17, Xfce etc only version. You can mod the PKGBUILD to force the KDE version if you prefer KDE/QT bindings.

capoeira commented on 2012-10-04 01:11 (UTC)

just tryig to understand a little of this all. If I use E17, why do I need gnome-python?

k0Do commented on 2012-08-28 14:47 (UTC)

I guess gnome-session is only needed for GnomePlugin which can give you an optional tray icon while a snapshot is working. So, gnome-session should be a suggestion, no hard dependency.

k0Do commented on 2012-08-28 14:38 (UTC)

Request for out of date: There's version 1.0.10 tagged in bzr, though no offical tarball available. The configure script for the gnome GUI does not work for --no-check, meaning gnome-session is always enforced. Not good for Xfce, Enlightenment etc. Here my proposal for the PKGBUILd part: # Build a custom array of depends based on what DE is installed GUI_ENFORCE=1 # set to 0 if you don't want a GUI at all if [ -e '/usr/lib/libkonq.so' ]; then # KDE is installed depends=( ${depends[@]} xorg-utils python2-pyqt kdebindings-python) _type=( ${_type[@]} kde4 ) fi if [ -n "`which gnome-session 2> /dev/null`" ]; then # GNOME really depends=( ${depends[@]} pygtk python-notify gnome-python meld gksu gnome-session ) _type=( ${_type[@]} gnome ) fi if [ ${GUI_ENFORCE} == 1 -a ${#_type[@]} == 0 ]; then # other DE like Xfce, Enlightenment etc. depends=( ${depends[@]} pygtk python-notify gnome-python meld gksu ) _type=( ${_type[@]} gnome ) fi Replace the line "./configure" with "cp Makefile.template Makefile" as a work around for the gnome section. The check for gnome-session is useless here. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bit-team/backintime/trunk/view/head:/gnome/configure

capoeira commented on 2012-07-14 14:45 (UTC)

is it neccessary that gvfs runs proccesses the whole time? I'm not using gnome

fukawi2 commented on 2011-12-28 02:02 (UTC)

Very weird... Makes me think even more it's an issue further down the dep chain (ie, somewhere in python) rather than backintime itself. Still keen to fix in the PKGBUILD if possible though :)

graysky commented on 2011-12-28 01:47 (UTC)

Odd thing is that this is only happening on one machine. I have your PKG running just fine on 3 other x86_64 boxes... of course the machine that's causing a problem resides at my parent's house. Gotta coordinate a time with them to ssh in... they power down EVERYTHING including the modem and router when the machine is not in use :p

As commented on the bug report by graysky, the issue is in gnome-vfs, which doesn't support libcrypt 1.5. There is a bug report on this [https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25225] and, as a workaround, a patched gnome-vfs in AUR [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50918].

@graysky I'm running xfce now, but previously Gnome. There is perhaps a missing dependency that I'm not aware of. If you find it, let me know and I'll add it.

graysky commented on 2011-07-21 20:30 (UTC)

@fukawi2 - Are you running gnome as your DE? I tried this under several users and I get the same error in each case.

'cronie' provides 'cron' so having the dep set to 'cron' allows you to use any cron packages (assuming the packager has correctly set the 'provides' array to include 'cron')

commented on 2011-05-16 14:13 (UTC)

Could you change the dependencies to: depends=( 'python2' 'rsync' 'cron' ) because cronie is now in core and i wouldn't like to install dcron. Or is there any reason why backintime won't work with cronie?

graysky commented on 2010-12-19 12:34 (UTC)

@fukawi2 - Can you modify the PKGBUILD to work with other DEs like lxde? I can verify that the gnome dependency set will build a functional package for lxde users.

Bump to version 1.0.4

fukawi2 commented on 2010-10-27 22:07 (UTC)

Right -- it hasn't been packaged and released on the main website, so since this isn't a -bzr package, it can't be updated until that happens.

mr_hangman commented on 2010-10-27 21:59 (UTC)

The developer has released 1.0.4 on launchpad. https://code.launchpad.net/backintime With a critical bug fixed, I thought it should be updated here. Sorry if I misunderstood it.

fukawi2 commented on 2010-10-27 21:43 (UTC)

Again, why is this marked out of date?? There is NO NEW VERSION on the developers website. Please do NOT mark out of date if it isn't.

fukawi2 commented on 2010-10-24 22:45 (UTC)

Fixed a bash syntax error that would have broken Gnome and *box installations. Please rebuild using the new PKGBUILD if you DO NOT use KDE.

fukawi2 commented on 2010-10-20 21:58 (UTC)

Why is this out of date? There's no new release on the developers website? PKGBUILD updated to patch the /usr/bin/ scripts to use python2

domanov commented on 2010-10-20 14:51 (UTC)

Turns out, python2 needs to be called as interpreter in the bash scripts. The workaround is to simply change: from: python ${APP_PATH}/app.py "$@" to: python2 ${APP_PATH}/app.py "$@" in /usr/bin/backintime, -gnome and -kde4. Works flawlessy :) Of course python2 has to be installed, but I think it is the default for arch. PKGBUILD (dependencies and so on) needs to be changed.

graysky commented on 2010-10-19 20:20 (UTC)

kdebase-libs creates /usr/lib/libkonq.so so I've changed the PKGBUILD to look for this file.

commented on 2010-10-14 21:09 (UTC)

To detect KDE, what about using a pacman query in your if statement? Here's a pastebin diff of your pkgbuild that detects if kdebase-lib is installed. Kdebase-lib is only required by a handful of KDE applications (dolphin, kdepasswd, kfind, plasma, kget, and ark). Odds are that if those are installed so is the rest of KDE. http://aur.pastebin.com/z1vDyczV

fukawi2 commented on 2010-09-15 22:41 (UTC)

k3b depends on kdelibs, which provides kdeinit4. Unless you have a better way to determine if KDE is installed as a DE, then there's nothing I can do.

graysky commented on 2010-09-15 21:12 (UTC)

@fukawi2 - it's k3b!

fukawi2 commented on 2010-09-14 23:30 (UTC)

If kdeinit is still present, then KDE wasn't removed completely. I'm not aware of any better way to determine if kde is installed. You should probably remove whatever package it is that owns kdeinit4: pacman -Qo /usr/bin/kdeinit4 pacman -Rns <output of above cmd>

Thanks... I had to remove the first bit of the deps line (kde detector). I installed KDE on this box a while back, but have since removed it (back to Gnome), but the PKGBUILD wanted to pull down the KDE deps. $ makepkg -s ==> Making package: backintime 1.0-1 (Tue Sep 14 16:09:54 EDT 2010) ==> Checking Runtime Dependencies... ==> Installing missing dependencies... resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts...

Bump to v1.0 The changes are as follows: - Multiple profiles support. - Expert options: copy unsafe links and copy links. - Custom backup hour (for daily backups or mode). - Many bugs have been fixed. - ionice support for the user/cron backup process. - The backintime snapshot folder has been restructured to ../backintime/machine/user/profile_id/

s'ok, thanks for trying. I asked on the home page: https://answers.launchpad.net/backintime/+question/123873

That I don't know how to fix -- I'm guessing a missing Gnome dep, but I don't know what :-/

@fukawi2 - it builds just fine now under lxde but it will not run. I get the following when I try to do it with or without gksu: $ gksu backintime ** Message: secret service operation failed: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files Back In Time Version: 0.9.26 Back In Time comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Wow, I didn't know so many people used the KDE *and* Gnome UI's at the same time. Sorry folks. Another new version that restores the old behaviour *and* should default to Gnome for those who don't use either DE.

I use both KDE and Gnome, and backintime-gnome was missing because of it. This is what I did (perhaps not very elegant): http://aur.pastebin.com/hby9yT5b

fukawi2 commented on 2010-08-30 01:35 (UTC)

I've updated the PKGBUILD to default to Gnome, so LXDE/XFCE/not-gnome-or-kde users should work now. Please test and let me know if it still doesn't work.

graysky commented on 2010-08-30 00:50 (UTC)

Not very descriptive error I'm afraid... $ makepkg -s My box only has lxde on it so no kde/gnome stuff at all.

fukawi2 commented on 2010-08-06 08:32 (UTC)

Do you have 'gnome-session' or 'kdeinit4' binaries? What errors do you get?

graysky commented on 2010-08-06 08:03 (UTC)

+1 can't build with LXDE

commented on 2010-06-16 20:05 (UTC)

Out of GNOME/KDE ambient, makepkg doesn't work. Editing makepkg and leaving just GTK (GNOME) dependencies, it bulds, and run, but no interface works. I'm on LXDE.

If large Files (>3 GB) are backed up starting the Gnome GUI of backintime might result in an error. This is a known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/backintime/+bug/409130 which can easily be fixed by changing "int" to "float" in /usr/share/backintime/gnome/app.py Line 212 211 # display name, relative path, icon_name, type (0 - directory, 1 - file), size (str), date, size (int) 212 self.store_folder_view = gtk.ListStore( str, str, str, int, str, str, float )

fukawi2 commented on 2010-04-27 03:54 (UTC)

That will happen if you have both Gnome and KDE on your system, as it installs a .desktop file for each GUI (gtk and qt). You can force it to only build a GUI for your preferred environment (and therefore only install that .desktop file) by removing one of the IF blocks above build(). Remove the appropriate kdeinit4 or gnome-session block.

Minor problem: each backintime icon shows up twice in the gnome applications menu. As a result, I have 4 icons in Applications>System tools : -2 Back in time icons -2 Back in time (root) icons
