Backintime 1.0.26 keyring problem

[p3tris]

I downloaded the tar of backintime 1.0.26 from the website, used ./makedeb.sh, installed the deb files and ran sudo apt-get install -f to take care of the dependencies. When I try to run backintime from command line I get:

p3tris@p3tris-debian:~$ backintime -b

Python-keyring package is installed (version 2.1-1).

I am using Debian testing with no extra repos.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Please make sure gnome-keyring and python-gnomekeyring is installed, too.

I think they are. Take a look:

Yes, the update of python2-keyring from 1.6.1-1 -> 3.0.5-1 has fubr'ed backintime. I can repeat this on my gtk setup after updated that package.

I am running Arch Linux x86_64 and have the following packages which I believe correspond the Debian ones:

gnome-keyring 3.8.2-1
python2-keyring 3.0.5-1

Note - If I downgrade to v1.6.1 of python2-keyring, everything works as expected.

In python-keyring versions > 1.6-1 they kicked Keyring.supported() and redesigned the whole API. Not nice. Will have a deep look.

[graysky (graysky)]

Thank you for the quick resolution, germar. Can you point me to a patch I can apply directly to v1.0.26 while we wait for the next release?

Thanks!

[Germar (germar)]

You can use the attached patch. I'm planing to release next version at the end of next week.

There is still a problem with backintime-gnome showing 'Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion 'g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed'
This is because of incompatibility with static gtk2 (used in BIT) and dynamic Gtk3 (used in python-gnomekeyring). Not sure if I can fix this. But it should work fine.

[graysky (graysky)]

Excellent, thank you so much. The patch is great. All is well using python2-keyring v3.0.5. Keep up the great job!

[Thomas Winteler (Win-Soft) (thomi)]

Hey

When will the this patch be applied to the PPA package?
https://launchpad.net/~bit-team/+archive/stable

Thanks for this fix..

I'm planning to ask Dan for a new release at the end of next week. If he has time to do the release the PPA will be updated as well.
But non of those Ubuntu versions the PPA provides packages for uses python-keyring > 1.6.1. Not even Ubuntu 13.10. So this bug doesn't affect the PPA.

@graysky: I've seen you are Package Maintainer for Backintime AUR on Arch Linux. Starting with next release can you please add python2-secretstorage[1] to dependencies?

I decided to let GnomeKeyring fail silently and use SecretServiceKeyring instead to fix the problems I stated in #6. Ubuntu and Debian install SecretServiceKeyring by default. For Arch there is (thanks to Runiq) a package in AUR.

[graysky (graysky)]

Hi Germar. No problem. Thank you for working on BIT. It is great.
Will you please update the README indicating that this should be a
dependency when you bump the version?

I did already 3 days ago :D

Nice, I didn't see that modification. I updated the PKGBUILD in preparation the next release.
