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.
Yes. The current behaviour is tuned for backup over the internet. Mike, do you want me to file this upstream?
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
Hello, (In reply to comment #2) > 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? Yes. Not just a notification bubble, I get a deja-dup window which I need to close. > > 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. It should only check when it gets an internet-connection *event if the backup destination is a remote server*, don't you think? > > Sounds similar to upstream bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/775379 Thank you for looking into this Michael :) Regards, Ankur
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.
Created attachment 515057 [details] 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
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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Seems this was fixed.
