[Edgy]hubackup will not start

Binary package hint: hubackup

When clicking on the icon for hubackup a window with the title Backup appears for 1 second then disapears. Other than the title, it is a blank window. If I start hubackup from the terminal, I get the following errors:

michael@ws1:~$ hubackup

Attached is my lshal output

Could you please tell me about the following:
 1) Which hubackup package version you have installed (you should have 0.0.4)
 2) How many and what type of optical media devices you have attached to the system, do you have any ones as such that are connected through USB rather then integrated in the system?

[Michael (mike984)]

1) It is version 0.0.4
2) I have 1 external USB hard drive (Western Digital 120GB).
My monitor (Dell 2505fpw) has a 9-in-1 media card reader and so does my computer. I have no cards currently plugged into any of them.

I've attached my dmesg output and lspci -vv output as well.

Hope this helps.

attaching lspci -vv output

Also, the WD120 external drive is formatted NTFS. I do not write to it from Ubuntu.

Thank you Sivan for the recent fix to hubackup. HUBackup is working fine. However, now that it's working, I was able to create a backup and I tried restoring it and I get the following error when trying to hurestore:

michael@ws1:~$ hurestore

sure, this is another bug - hurestore hasn't yet implemeted in the new gui workflow, closing this as fixed.
