[SOLVED] Issues with backintime

Hey there,

I have been using backintime for a while. Since some time it fails to create new backups. I re-build and reinstalled it from AUR. The problem remains.
I tried to create a new profile. After doing so, backintime crashes (window closes).
When starting from console, no gui appears:

 backintime

Back In Time
Version: 1.2.1

Back In Time comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `backintime --license' for details.

I assume this is some qt5 related issue, but have no clue how to solve this.
I´d appreciate any help.

Re: [SOLVED] Issues with backintime

Shouldn't you be running backintime-qt?

This is the command line tool.  The graphical tool is backintime-qt.

Oh wow, sorry for that and thank you.

Running backintime-qt shows

AttributeError: 'TempPasswordThread' object has no attribute 'isAlive'
/usr/bin/backintime-qt: line 31: 22945 Aborted                 (core dumped) python -Es ${APP_PATH}/app.py "$@

Which lead me to https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/1134. A fix is already implemented upstream. It seems that backintime in the AUR is out of date.

There is also backintime-git in AUR.

Re: [SOLVED] Issues with backintime

I bumped the AUR package to 1.2.1-2 yesterday.  I get no such errors.  Can you confirm with the latest version?
