Bug Description

Binary package hint: deja-dup

The preferences dialog opened for some moments and then crashed. Alas trying to recover the situation I zapped the whole configuration with gconf and now it works. I think the crash could be due to the fact that I added a non-existent windows share as the backup destination folder.

Can you upload your gconf values?

Nevermind about the gconf values. I managed to reproduce it. This appears to be a bug in GTK+. Filed a patch upstream.

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the

might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system

This bug was fixed in the package gvfs - 1.6.0+git20100414-0ubuntu1

---------------
gvfs (1.6.0+git20100414-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream git snapshot (since GNOME 2.30.1 will be too late for lucid):
    - afc: Detect iPad and set correct icon name
    - ftp: Parse PWD reply according to RFC
    - ftp: Add missing \n to debug message
    - Attach cancellable to async result and check in finish functions
      (LP: #544306)
    - Disable x-content-types for jailbroken iDevices
    - Translation updates.
  * Drop 04_dont_automount_internal_partitions.patch, it was fixed upstream a
    while ago with a different approach.
  * 02_music-player-mimetype.patch: Update to current patch tagging format.
  * debian/control.in: Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no changes necessary).
  * Add 01_dont_ignore_blank_cd_drives.patch: Extend the special casing of CD
    drives in should_drive_be_ignored() to also cover blank media. Otherwise
    we lose the drive for the blank media volume, and with it the possibility
    to eject it. (LP: #425104)
