Crash 2.3.0.1 on Start (Kubuntu 26.04)

Hi @Juergen, welcome to the forum

@Juergen

Duplicati.Library.Interface.UserInformationException: Server crashed on startup
—> Tmds.DBus.Protocol.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .s
ervice files

This means that DBus was working, but libsecret was not found.

With Duplicati 2.3 we are attempting to detect a secure way to store the database encryption passphrase, and the intention is to simply skip this step if no suitable method is found.

In this case the check is crashing because a working desktop is found but libsecret is not, so it partially starts up.

I have made a fix that we will include in a later patch release:

Fix SecretProvider Init Failure (#6886)

For now, you can workaround this by either:

• Install seahorse or libsecret which will allow Duplicati to have secure storage of the database encryption key
• Set the --disable-db-encryption=true commandline option (or DUPLICATI__DISABLE_DB_ENCRYPTION=true environment variable).

The first option enables the encryption, the latter simply ignores it.
