"Computer name changed" dialog is coming back every time

[Grégoire]

I have recently brought my computer from my workplace to my home. Being now connected to a different network, the computer hostname has changed. So on the next backup, I got a message that tells me that the computer name has changed and ends with "If this is unexpected, you should back up to a different location."

I thought the message was nice and I appreciate that déjà dup protects me from making some mistake. But since in this case it wasn't unexpected, I click continue. Now the same pop-up appears on every backup and even in the main interface, I couldn't find a way to tell déjà dup to forget the old name and use the new one from now on (and stop bothering me with the dialogue).

I'm using deja-dup 34.2 on Fedora release 24

Hello Grégoire,

can you provide the output of the following please? I want to look if --allow-source-mismatch is passed to duplicity.

> The file /tmp/deja-dup.gsettings after running the following line (you may want to scrub the file of any incriminating file names or details):
> gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.DejaDup > /tmp/deja-dup.gsettings

Best Regards

Hello Vej,

I have since upgraded to fedora 25 and this behavior is now gone (I don't see the dialog anymore).
The upgrade included a new version of deja-dup (34.3) but it might also be a change in the environment.

I'm attaching the requested file but I don't know if it's going to help anymore...

Sorry for the late answer.

Hello Grègoire.

Thanks for the provided information. Unfortunately this is not helpful anymore. I will therefore close this bug.

If anyone sees the same thing happening on 34.3 or later, please reopen the bug, by setting the "Status" to "Confirmed" or (if you are lacking rights to do so) asking about this here.

Best Regards

Vej

Hello Vej,

I am seeing the same behaviour albeit without actually changing networks.

DejaDup 38.4
PopOS 19.04 (very close relative of Ubuntu 19.04)

My `hostname` is `quesadilla` but DejaDup (which I see as the Backups Ubuntu app) reports that the computer's name has changed to `quesadilla.webpass.net` (the suffix being my ISP).

When that dialog comes up, I click continue and if I'm not mistaken, it does not come up until the next time I wake the laptop from sleep.

I have attached the same file you requested previously in case it helps.
