duplicity does NOT close properly

[Teh Kok How]

Duplicity process stays running after closing deja-dup backups app from Ubuntu desktop. Openning up deja-dup again, go to Restore tab, error message shows "Another duplicity instance is already running with this archive directory". `ps -ef | grep duplicity` shows the process still running.

Please provide some more info:

- version number of duplicity and deja-dup
- Python version running
- OS version

Also, how did you exit deja-dup? Clean exit or task killed?

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

- version number of duplicity and deja-dup: duplicity 0.8.22, deja-dup 42.9
- Python version running: 3.10.4
- OS version: 22.04, 5.15.0-40-generic

Is this repeatable? I don't have a Linux GUI to test on, just terminal.

Hi, Kenneth! This would almost certainly just be Deja Dup's fault, I can't imagine duplicity would be an issue here.

@khteh - it should be safe to kill an active duplicity process and restart your backup, to recover from this happening as a workaround. But obviously, there's still the bug that it did happen in the first place.

How did you close Deja Dup? Normally, there's the progress dialog with cancel or resume later buttons, both of which should stop the duplicity process. If Deja Dup was shut down unexpectedly, I could maybe see this happening.

Not an "active" process! Backup completed, open up DejaDup GUI Restore tab to view the content and saw this error!
