Bug Description

deja-dup-monitor has the following paths in the file /etc/xdg/autostart/deja-dup-monitor.desktop, which are invalid:

TryExec=/usr/lib/deja-dup/deja-dup-monitor
Exec=/usr/lib/deja-dup/deja-dup-monitor

This prevents deja-dup from making automatic back-ups.

To resolve the situation, I had to manually update the paths to:

TryExec=/usr/libexec/deja-dup/deja-dup-monitor
Exec=/usr/libexec/deja-dup/deja-dup-monitor

1. Distribution:
Description: Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch)

2. Version:
deja-dup 40.5-1
duplicity 0.8.11.1596-1

3. Settings:

Thank you for your bug report, what is not working exactly?

The file you are mentioning is a leftoever (we should clean it up on upgrades), the package nowadays installs /etc/xdg/autostart/org.gnome.DejaDup.Monitor.desktop which has the correct paths.

Could you check if you have this one, and if you do describe the difference with the one you edited?

Below is the contents of /etc/xdg/autostart/org.gnome.DejaDup.Monitor.desktop. If this is the expected value, consider this bug fixed.

I also confirm that Deja Dup starts correctly every day.

My current Ubuntu version is Groovy Gorilla.
