After updating Duplicati to version 2.0.2.1-1 (running on an Ubuntu box), the software doesn’t start anymore. The error message is:
Unexpected error: System.MissingMethodException: Method 'HttpWebRequest.set_ServerCertificateValidationCallback' not found.

Finally, I deleted Duplicati completly (apt-get purge duplicati) and reinstalled - same error message.
Any hint is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I edited your post to improve the formating. (Just added ~~~ before and after the output you pasted, see here for details).
Did you install as a service?
I downloaded the deb-file and did an “dpkg -i duplicati…deb”. It is not a Windows installation.
Oops, sorry - that was a dumb question. I haven’t done a Linux based install yet (outside of Docker) so didn’t realize it apparently always comes in as a service there.
Hello.
I have just found Duplicati & installed beta2.0. I cannot find anywhere a test button for email settings but more importantly cannot find any ability to have Duplicati running & doing scheduled backups without having to log in, ie, run as a true service. Can you advise any further information?

From what version where you upgrading, was it in the v1 line?
Hmmm, the problem is “solved”: I deleted my Duplicati configuration and restarted from scratch - now it is working.
can you describe where and what file you deleted ?
I don’t suppose that file happened to be in any of your backups so it could be resurrected and reviewed as a post-mortem?
I deleted the folder .config/Duplicati and rebuilded my backup configuration. Now it works again.
You most likely had an update installed in there. The error was introduced as a fix to SSL certificate override, but turned out to not work on some installations (I assume an old(-ish) Mono version is missing the method). The latest canary does not use the method anymore.
Thanks a lot for this explication!
