Kenneth: First, thank you!
I don't run duplicity via the command line. I run it using the Ubuntu GUI app "Backups" which I believe is just a gui-name for deja-dup. In that setup I have a saved Preferences which governs how the Backup is done, which files/directories to back up, which to exclude, where to send the backup, etc. Trying duplicity -v9 fails with $ duplicity -v9 Command line error: Expected 2 args, got 0 Enter 'duplicity --help' for help screen. Evidently, the deja-dup app is saving this information in a config file somewhere and then building a command line to send to duplicity. I don't see how to invoke duplicity so as to use these config files, whose location I don't know either. So, next step is to try to invoke the debugging via a deja-dup command line. I try this (per deja-dup --help): $deja-dup --gtk-debug=9 > log and it starts the GUI, producing the same failure message; however nothing is appended to the log file, so evidently --gtk-debug=9 in deja-dup is not equivalent to duplicity -v9. Finally, using the Google, I find that the way to turn logging on for deja-dup is DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup Redirecting this to log does indeed produce a massive file. Hopefully, this is what you are looking for. If not please let me know how to 1) run duplicity so that my deja-dup preferences are used or 2) run deja-dup to produce the input you want. log head and tail will be attached. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1970124 Title: duplicity backup fails with obscure error message Ubuntu 22.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/1970124/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
