When i use gnome i use with no problems backintime to backup my folders daily!
But now i need to work on a pc with fluxbox without gnome! i installed backintime-common from source and it work via command line! (i can't install backintime-gnome because it doesn't find gnome ad can't compile!).
No problem i can use backintime from console but i'm unable to find a documentation!! on website there is only a gui howto, and the manual isn't cler at all!
i just want to set up a job schedule! can you help me??

there is a backintime package in aur, did you try that?

That answers that question.
I don't have an answer for you, but I am interested in learning this too. Let us know what you find if no-one else provides any answers here.

I know this is a bit necro, but it's the same problem that persists.
That is, I run backintime (perfectly installed from AUR) but because I use fluxbox, it doesn't recognize any GUI. What should I do to get a GUI?
Thanks,

I successfully run BIT under lxde by :
$ gksu backintime-gnome
CPU-optimized Linux-ck packages @ Repo-ck • AUR packages • Zsh and other configs

Command not found. I have installed the backintime AUR package: what else should I install?
Offline
Install gksu
I've fixed the deps in the PKGBUILD now for the Gnome/default build

Hmm, it doesn't work. Running $ gksu backintime-gnome opens the pretty window asking my user's password but then sh: backintime-gnome: command not found.
I've also installed the updated AUR package and still nothing.
Oh, by the way, I don't know how relevant this is to this matter, but when I install the package I get this error/warning:
/tmp/packertmp-1000/backintime.PKGBUILD: line 23: [: too many arguments

Has `backintime-gnome` been installed? Is it in your PATH?

Thanks, I'll have a look. I run Gnome, so I'm not able to test all these *box environments to see errors like this so your help is great

That would have been breaking things; it wasn't *box specific either, I just missed it in the output when I did my test build. Please build again using the latest PKGBUILD (-4) and you should have more success (I hope!)

Ok, I tried to install it again. Now it downloaded meld and python-notify as dependencies. But here's the final output:
==> Building the gnome UI
which: no gnome-session in (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/bin:/opt/qt/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/opt/kde/bin)
ERROR: Can't find GNOME !
Aborting...
The build failed.
P.S. I don't have any 'backintime-gnome' package, I haven't installed it and I don't know how I could!

Try adding 'gnome-session' to the 'depends' array on line 24 and let me know if that solves the issue:
depends=( ${depends[@]} pygtk python-notify gnome-python meld gksu gnome-session )
P.S. I don't have any 'backintime-gnome' package, I haven't installed it and I don't know how I could!
It should be installed by this package, but it wasn't because of the 'too many arguments' error you pointed out before

It repairs the installation, but still:

I'm not sure then. You might need to ask upstream now you've gotten to this stage....

I'm sorry, I'm still a bit new to Arch. Could you point me more precisely where to ask? Thank you.
If I post this problem somewhere else I'll post a link to it.

This looks like upstream's "forum":
