The temporary directory needs to be user settable. One size fits all is not working. Déjà-dup runs, and if the desktop is open at the time, a brief message is displayed. There may also be a desktop notification to be seen, but both of these are easily missed. There is no log file associated with the Déjà-dup control GUI. The control GUI does not note that any backups have failed. Effectively, backups fail silently.
Should a new bug be raised for this silent failure? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1100092 Title: Try to use a tempdir on same partition as source files Status in Déjà Dup: Fix Released Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in deja-dup package in Fedora: Won't Fix Bug description: Déjà Dup calls Duplicity with no information about the directory to use for temporary files. So, Duplicity tries to use /tmp, and the backup is aborted when /tmp runs out of space. This is a patch-in-progress to add the capability to pass the "-- tempdir" option to duplicity. For now it is only the gsettings key and the code to pass that option to Duplicity; there is no GUI for this yet. Maybe it should go in the "Storage" tab in Déjà Dup's UI.
