Bug Description
Linux Distro: Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Beta, all current updates
SBackup Version as reported by Synaptic: 0.10.5ubuntu2
SBackup Version as reported by About Box: 0.10.4
This problem seems to effect regular ssh configurations where the password is not provided as part of the remote directory, or configurations where the private key requires a password to unlock.
"ssh://
Under such configurations, a remote directory like the one above is entered. Clicking "Test" brings up the GNOME "Authentication Required" box, into which the password is entered. A green checkmark appears by the path. Clicking "Backup Now!" brings up the "A backup run is initiatied...." box, but no backup is actually created.
I do wish to be prompted for a password under these circumstances. I have been successful with both entering the password in the path and using a passwordless ssh key, but neither is the solution I'm looking for. The expected result would be either some sort of error or a backup actually being created.
The gnome authentication isn't initialized by sbackupd.py
