Back In Time

ImportError: No module named dbus

Asked by pengyu.ut@gmail.com

I installed backintime on 14.04 LTS with the following command.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bit-team/stable
sudo apt-fast -y update
sudo apt-fast -y install backintime-common

However, when I run backintime, I get the following error. Does anyone know what is wrong with it? Thanks.

py@saiph:~$ backintime
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/backintime/common/backintime.py", line 26, in <module>
    import config
  File "/usr/share/backintime/common/config.py", line 30, in <module>
    import tools
  File "/usr/share/backintime/common/tools.py", line 27, in <module>
    import dbus
ImportError: No module named dbus

You need to install 'python-dbus'.

I have a different python installed. Should I use pip instead of
apt-get to install python-dbus?

~$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
~$ which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip

Sorry, I've never used pip nor installed python from source. But I guess it'd be the correct way to use pip if you have installed python from source.

Can you help with this problem?
