Bug Description

Realized that my BIT was not updating today so I corrected this and upgraded to version 10.0.28 on an Unbuntu 10.04 LTS system. Error is as follows:

# backintime-gnome

    backends = (keyring.backend.SecretServiceKeyring,
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SecretServiceKeyring'

I have tried running BIT as root and as a reg user.

Seems like the old python-keyring version in lucid doesn't provide SecretServiceKeyring. Until next release you can use the attached patch with:

sudo patch /user/share/backintime/common/tools.py < secretservicekeyring.patch

Changed in backintime:
status: New → Triaged

Thanks Germar, just sorted my Mums backup out with that patch. Cheers.
Others cutting and pasting above command note typo: /user should be /usr so corrected command line is:-

sudo patch /usr/share/backintime/common/tools.py < secretservicekeyring.patch

Or if you are not in the directory where you downloaded the above patch and happened to download it into your default "Downloads" directory then the following should work from where ever.

sudo patch /usr/share/backintime/common/tools.py < ~/Downloads/secretservicekeyring.patch

Thanks again Germar.
