--- Comment #6 from Leslie Brothers <leslie.broth...@verizon.net> --- (In my previous reply, I said: "/home/leslie/Backups/KMM is a regular folder and, given that, I agree it is strange for KMM to not create a backup and not give an error message. (Sorry I was misleading by saying it is always mounted. It's just a regular folder so mounted by definition.) I will try to reproduce the behavior by doing what I did in the KMM session when the backup failed -- namely, do a multi-year report, then save and try to back up.") 1. I have reproduced the conditions that create the backup problem. a. If I do an Income and Expense by Year report only, I do not need to save KMM before exiting. In that case, I can do a backup with no problem and the program exits nicely. b. If I save anything else (an entry, even a memo in a check) and ALSO do the Income and Expense by Year report in the same session, then I have to save before exiting. When I save, it is slow. If I then try the backup, it stalls as previously reported. Note, it doesn't even get to the point of telling me there is already a backup for today's date. c. Of possible relevance is that my years (for income and expense) start for some reason in 1959, although there are no figures until 1993. d. If the backup fails as just described in (b), I can close the KMM interface, but then the CPU goes and goes. I had to run top to see that the active process was kmymoney, then kill it for the machine to settle down. e. I verified that changing an entry and saving it did not cause the backup failure. The changing and saving had to occur in the same session as the income and expense by year report. Likewise, as I noted in (a), Income and Expense by itself did not cause a backup problem. It is the combination of both a change somewhere, and invoking the report, that causes the problem. 2. As requested by Thomas Baumgart, I made an anonymous file. I ran it and the problem was reproduced exactly as with my own file. I have attached the anonymous file. 3. I did not see any output in dmesg after the error occurred. I looked in syslog but did not know what I was looking for. I did not see anything obvious. Thank you.

Since you say it is always mounted, I suspect somthing else - a separate hard disk partition, a USB thumb drive, an NSF mount, and SMB mount, ...? For a normal folder, I can't think of any reason for KMM to not create the backup and not give some error message. Since it seems OK now, there is not much point in running KMM from the command line to see if it outputs any error that way. However, I can imagine problems with a mount (particularly a network mount) causing issues. Is there anything that might be relevant in the system logs (dmesg or /var/log/messages or wherever Mint puts them? > On Sun, 2015-01-25 at 21:48 +0000, Jack wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343291 > > Jack <ostrof...@users.sourceforge.net> changed: > > What |Removed |Added > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > CC| |ostroffjh@users.sourceforge > | |.net > > --- Comment #3 from Jack <ostrof...@users.sourceforge.net> --- > Is /home/leslie/Backups/KMM a regular folder?
