BackInTime Segfaulting

sniff · 11-28-2013, 04:47 AM

Hello,

I recently updated to opensuse 13.1, no major issues so far. However, BackInTime the rather handy backup program segfaults when I try to start it. No error messages to speak of. Its version 1.0.20.

Anyone had the same problem?

Please open a terminal and run 'backintime-gnome' (or 'backintime-kde4' if you are on KDE) and post the output in here.

This is caused by recent changes in KDE. We fixed this in BackInTime 1.0.28. I'm not sure about Opensuses packages but if there is please update to latest version.
If there is no 1.0.28 for Opensuse you can comment out line 259 'self.list_files_view_model.removeColumns( 3, 2 )' in /usr/share/backintime/kde4/app.py by adding # at start. This will fix it for now.
