[solved] GUI of deja-dup backup does not launch

Hi,

I wanted to test deja-dup. However, for some reasons the GUI does not launch. There is no apparent error. I tried `deja-dup`, `gksu deja-dup` and `gksudo deja-dup`. None of them is launching the GUI.

~ deja-dup

** (deja-dup:29299): WARNING **: Can't load fallback CSS resource: Failed to import: The resource at '/org/gnome/adwaita/gtk-fallback.css' does not exist

** (deja-dup:29299): WARNING **: Can't load fallback CSS resource: Failed to import: The resource at '/org/gnome/adwaita/gtk-fallback.css' does not exist
You must specify a mode

Usage:
  deja-dup [OPTION...] 
  deja-dup --backup
  deja-dup --restore [FILES…]
  deja-dup --restore-missing DIRECTORY

Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool.  It hides the complexity of backing up
the Right Way (encrypted, off-site, and regular) and uses duplicity as
the backend.

Help Options:
  -h, --help               Show help options
  --help-all               Show all help options
  --help-gtk               Show GTK+ Options

Application Options:
  --version                Show version
  --restore                Restore given files
  --backup                 Immediately start a backup
  --restore-missing        Restore deleted files
  --display=DISPLAY        X display to use

Can you run the GUI?

Try command   "deja-dup-preferences"

That's it, thanks!

So `deja-dup` is only the command-line tool.
