File access manager not initalized

Asked by clickwir on 2012-11-03

I have a crontab setup for my local user as so: 10 0 * * * /usr/bin/sbackup > /dev/null

Now, this same crontab seems to work on my wifes PC without issue. However, on mine I get a dialog box stating: Simple Backup Suite, An error occurred, File access manager not initalized, and a Close button.

If I run "/usr/bin/sbackup > /dev/null" from a konsole, it runs and completes just fine. But from a cron job, it fails. Why?

I guess I should mention that it's going to a server on my local network via SSH, yes I can SSH to that machine with the correct username. I've tried removing and readding the ssh key, didn't help. I tried the suggestion posted here: https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+faq/1324 That didn't help either.

Still an issue. Running it manually works, but as a cron job it fails.

Put the output to a logfile in stead of /dev/null, like:

10 0 * * * /usr/bin/sbackup > /tmp/sbackup.log

Does this give any clue to the source of the problem?

Can you help with this problem?
