Deja-dup settings do not appear in Mint 15 control panel

[Dan Freedman]

Using Linux Mint 15. A fresh install. Only the Run Backup module appears on Menu. The setup and settings module does not appear in the New unified System Settings panel. This was OK in Linux Mint 14 and Ubuntu 13.04.

It is possible to create a launcher to carry out a Restore - as I expect is also a commandline instruction. However, without the GUI I cannot setup scheduled backups etc.

Similar problem in a fresh install of Linux Mint 15. Could not find Deja-dup anywhere in the menus after installing. Had to run deja-dup --backup from the terminal to run it.

Same problem here. Deja-dup only works from the command line and can't schedule backups.

One workaround is to run deja-dup-preferences

I can see same problem here, i am using also fresh install of mint 15

[Marticus Daedalus (a-shining-example)]

I was able to resolve this by doing this:

right click the menu button
select edit menu
select system tools
check the box next to Backup

This problem still exists with a clean install of LM16. running deja-dup-preferences in terminal starts config app ok but preferences do not appear in menu anywhere

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

I'm going to claim a problem with Mint itself. Deja Dup ships two ways to appear in menus: the control center plugin (OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity) and the standalone preference window (NoShowIn=GNOME;Unity).

Between those two, it should show at least once.

Cinnamon identifies itself as GNOME, therefore the standalone menu entry is not shown. Cinnamon Settings does not integrate Gnome Control Center modules, thus they are missing from Cinnamon Settings.

Not much to be done about this right now.

I would suggest just creating a new menu entry manually from the menu editor.
