Opensuse 13.1 back in time won't open

I installed back in time through yast. When i click on it for a few seconds I see an icon blinking but the application doesn't load. I am not sure where to look for any log files for this application.

Please run 'backintime-gnome' (or 'backintime-kde4' if you're on KDE) in Terminal 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.
