Hello,
Wondering why deja-dup is in stable, sid but not testing. Is there anything I can do to install it? Im on mint latest.
Thanks

Re: Deja-Dup?
I too would also like to be able to run Deja-Dup in LMDE from the repos.
Anyone know how to do this?

You can enable the unstable (sid) repos to your sources.list temporarely, refresh synaptic and install deja-dup. Don't forget
to disable the repos afterwards and a synaptic refresh again.

Re: Deja-Dup?
It works but it pulls a whole *lot* of packages with it.
Isn't there a way to limit this ?

Followed the instructions and somehow I got Gnome 3.2.1 installed. Have no clue how that happened. It looks good although it comes with a light theme whereas I prefer darker themes.

Had to reboot because some characters wouldn't show any more (All small rectangles). After reboot I lost some icons in the menu and the software manager is gone. I hope that's all it did. Luckily I've got a Clonezilla image somewhere.
A pity really.

I was on Gnome 2. Got the weird rectangles as well and had to do a hard stop (holding in the power button). Fired up the PC again and it booted into Gnome 3.2.1jan_goyvaerts wrote:Confirming this is not a good idea for the Xfce LMDE.msm wrote:Followed the instructions and somehow I got Gnome 3.2.1 installed.

Re: Deja-Dup?
I just had a hint at work to use Areca instead: http://www.areca-backup.org/
It looks very similar to Deja-Dup's features. And the dependencies are limited to Java.
Never used it though... I'll give it a spin tonight.

Re: Deja-Dup?
So far I can see is Deja Dup working pretty well on LMDE/xfce. The only - visible - consequence is that the software center is gone. And so is the icon of the main menu button.
