Raring: Deja Dup doesn't work after upgrade from 12.10

[Brian Ealdwine]

I've recently upgraded to 13.04 to contribute by sending bugreports, etc.

I was previously connecting via Ubuntu One, which worked without issue.
Since the upgrade, Deja-Dup does the following when run manually with 'Back Up Now' or as a periodic event:

A window "Back Up" appears, with the text "Connect to Ubuntu One", and a button "Sign into Ubuntu One".
The button is not greyed out, but clicking the button has no effect (except that the button looks pressed).

Using:
Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch)
deja-dup 26.0-0ubuntu1

gsettings:
org.gnome.DejaDup backend 'u1'
org.gnome.DejaDup delete-after 0
org.gnome.DejaDup exclude-list ['$TRASH', '$DOWNLOAD']

I turned off email from the gnome Online Accounts application, and that stopped evolution from crashing.

ugh. Posted that last comment in the wrong bug. Problem still exists.

For me:

PATCH (FIX): Change your backup folder to contain only english characters!!!!!!

[fermulator (fermulator)]

This same experience happened to me as well.

I have backups configured to a "local path" (which is actually a samba mount to a local file server on the network).
Backups were working fine before on Ubuntu 12.04, scheduled daily.
Since an upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04, they're failing, and the button for "Back Up Now..." is greyed out.

Workaround/fix?

This bug report is about an outdated version of Déjà Dup, an outdated Version of Ubuntu and a backup service (ubuntu One) which is not longer supported. I will therfore set it to invalid.

If you see this problem in a new version of Déjà Dup, kindly open a new bug report about this.

The issue in #5 is a different one, because the problematic button is different.
