Deja dup error

Asked by Erardo Meriño Ibarra

For several weeks, Deja-Dup has not made backup copies. The following error appears:
Failed to read /home/usuario/.cache/deja-dup/tmp/duplicity-7zjizs06-tempdir/mktemp-tpbq4072-4: (<class 'EOFError'>, EOFError('Compressed file ended before the end-of-stream marker was reached'), <traceback object at 0x7f5ebfacb3c0>)
The following folder exists, but is empty: /home/usuario/.cache / deja-dup / tmp
I have always made backup copies on a network hard drive. Deja Dup is able to recognize the copies made previously. I have installed and reinstalled, I have installed the snap version and the .deb version, not at the same time, of course. I can't get a solution. Thank you.
OS: Ubuntu 20.04

Why was this issue not attended to by anyone. It is still a problem. I just experienced it myself with Ubuntu 21.04. Is Duplicity no longer being supported?

Yes it is being supported. I did not see this question. I apologize.

could the volume the folder

 /home/potop/.cache/deja-dup/tmp/

is placed on be full by any chance?

what happens if you move TMP folder to somewhere else? dunno if deja-dup has a setting for that.

duplicity development moved to gitlab, you might want to file your issue there

@edso. this partition has more than a half of free space, and as I'm only backuping folders from this partition, any temporary data should fit there, I guess.

two things to try still.

1. set up deja-dup to use a different TMP space
2. raise the duplicity verbosity to debug '-v9' , also no idea how to do that in deja-dup

good luck.. ede

To run deda-dup in debug:

DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --backup 2>&1 > deja-dup.log
