Bug Description:
Backing up to an external drive is broken. I use an external USB-harddisk for backups and deja-dup is failing on getting the URI of the backup-target (g_file_get_uri). That's why the duplicity command line is not complete (see attached console output with stout, sterr, DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1).
If I change the backup target to a local folder everything works!
1. there is no log file in /tmp because of the error
It is important to resolve this issue in a SRU due to Deja-Dup being a featured application in the Ubuntu Software Center. By prominently featuring Deja-Dup, it has become the de facto desktop backup solution for Ubuntu users. This bug prevents users from backing up to an external hard drive, probably the primary use case.
#### Work-around ####
Changing the '/apps/deja-dup/file/type' gconf setting from 'volume' to 'normal' solves the problem. This can be done by browsing to that setting with 'gconf-editor' or with the following command in the terminal:
gconftool -s '/apps/deja-dup/file/type' --type string normal
Thank you Pablo. Lucid fix works.
