Description Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2011-07-02 05:36:46 UTC
Description of problem:
I only back up to an external hard drive. I do not backup to a server. My back up therefore does not need an internet connection. Whenever I connect to the internet, wireless, wired, anyhow, deja-dup tries to back up. This is wrong behaviour? It should only try to backup when the concerned hard drive is plugged in?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@ankur ~]# rpm -q deja-dup
deja-dup-18.2.1-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Connect to the internet
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
deja-dup wants to back up

Expected results:
deja-dup should only want to back up when the external HDD is connected. It does not need the internet for my back ups.

Comment 1 Rahul Sundaram 2011-07-16 08:23:13 UTC
Yes.  The current behaviour is tuned for backup over the internet.  Mike,  do you want me to file this upstream?

Comment 2 Michael Terry 2011-07-17 17:00:18 UTC
Hm, you're saying you get a notification bubble that it wanted to back up but couldn't because the external drive wasn't connected?

Internally, it does always check when it gets a internet-connection (or volume-connection) event, but it shouldn't be displaying a notification about it.

Sounds similar to upstream bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/775379

Yes. Not just a notification bubble, I get a deja-dup window which I need to close.

It should only check when it gets an internet-connection *event if the backup destination is a remote server*, don't you think?

Thank you for looking into this Michael :)

Ankur, can you give me more information about what the deja-dup window says?  It should definitely not be popping up like that.

> It should only check when it gets an internet-connection *event if the backup
> destination is a remote server*, don't you think? 

Agreed.  But whether it does the internal check or not is merely a low-priority optimization issue.  But if the user is seeing a dialog or popup as a result of this check, that's a more important bug in my mind.

Window that deja-dup pops up

First, one gets a normal notification in the tray area.

After that, this window pops up. I'm guessing it's because the drive isn't mounted and so the directory does not exist at all.

Thanks,
Ankur

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:18:45 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Seems this was fixed.
