Using an AUR helper such as yay to build packages including backintime is HIGHLY discouraged. The recommended build method is to use a clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.

Please stop posting build failures because you insist on building with yay or other AUR helpers.

@ottomops and @orschiro this is because BIT is using 'Auto Host/User/ProfileID' (General Settings below Advanced) by default and 'User' now changed to 'root' (how it should be). But your existing profile was configured with User 'orschiro' or 'ottomops' or whatever your normal user is called. I'd suggest to keep 'gksudo' but manually deactivate 'Auto Host/User/ProfileID' and change 'User' back to your normal users name. Or alternative rename the snapshot folder '/path/to/backintime/<HOST>/<USER>' into '/path/to/backintime/<HOST>/root' if there are only snapshots for root inside.

@Germar I can confirm what ottomops says. My previously made backups are not longer recognised. Though now I can successfully create the udev rule. So what is the optimal solution? gksu or gksudo?

ottomops commented on 2014-03-04 09:21 (UTC)

Since using gksudo my backup folder is not recognized anymore by backintime. Changing the starter back to gksu fixed it for me. So I would vote for going back to gksu.

Bump to v1.0.34-3 Changelog: Per Garmar's request, modified gnome/gtk .desktop file to use gksudo rather than gksu.

Germar commented on 2014-03-03 13:03 (UTC)

@orschiro You are already root because of "gksu backintime-gnome". That's why you are not asked for your root pw again. I just found out that Arch gksu behave different than Debian gksu. "gksu env | grep -e '^USER=\|^LOGNAME='" should print root for both but on Arch it will print orschiro which causes your problems. Using "gksudo backintime-gnome" instead should solve this. @graysky Could you please change 'gnome/backintime-gnome-root.desktop' to use 'gksudo'?

@Germar When you said that something is wrong with my user, I deleted the udev rule and started from scratch. I launched `gksu backintime-gnome` and tried to recreate the udev rule. I selected Schedule: When drive gets connected. But then I get the error: `Failed to create udev rules` The CLI output: Profile: Arch Linux System Automatic backup: When drive get connected (udev) Command "gksudo -m "Please provide your sudo password to install the udev rule." -- cp "/tmp/tmpFn8HNV" "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-backintime-orschiro.rules"" returns 256 That is, I am not asked for my root password.

Thanks for clearing it up that it's all about teaching us not to use AUR-Helpers and run makepkg by hand. An Optdepend wouldn't suck at all, the only "harm" it would do is an additional line being printed out during installation.

Germar commented on 2014-03-02 17:04 (UTC)

@orschiro There is something wrong with the user in that udev rule (/usr/bin/su - 'orschiro' [...] vs. /root/.config[...]). It should be either 'orschiro' OR 'root'. But not mixed. How did you start BIT? With sudo or gksu?

orschiro commented on 2014-03-02 08:28 (UTC)

@mojtabazn You have to build the package manually and then selectively install only backintime-gnome or backintime-gtk but not both

mojtabazn commented on 2014-03-02 05:04 (UTC)

i have this problem for install : error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: backintime-gnome and backintime-gtk are in conflict
