Thanks for the effort for the release.

re: minimum Mac compile target, missing Fedora package, Mac OS notarizing, I will try to get better knowledge of all that.
forum outdated keys, new private IP for the VM not much I could do about that I think.

I have upgraded a test Canary install under Windows and nothing seems to be broken - it would have been particularly galling given the very conservative approach for this release.

Now waiting for reports from Mac users and if all is good, then to a new beta. Hopefully no new breakages in the release script will happen in only one or two weeks.

It’s absolutely great to see progress! Even if the compact / corruption issue isn’t fixed. Which is (imho) currently the only major issue afaik.

drwtsn32 · April 11, 2023, 10:03pm

Nice work! Testing the docker version first…

Do you have a link to this issue?

rodolphoarruda · April 12, 2023, 11:43am

Hi there!

I have just updated to the this new version via the webUI. After clicking to activate it, it got stuck into a loop for some time and when I tried to access the webUI again, the service was down.

I restarted the service via SSH, but I still could not access the webUI. Would it be the case to restart the webserver that supports this UI?

I’m running Duplicati on a Ubuntu 22.04 box.

Thanks!

Rodolpho

Hello @rodolphoarruda

I am currently investigating a very similar problem. In the mean time, I suggest that you use the Debian installer from here:

ts678 · April 12, 2023, 12:57pm

Activate downloaded upgrade sometimes fail #3371 is an old known bug that has so far escaped fix.
I got this myself on upgrade to 105 from 103. The symptoms for me are that Duplicati doesn’t restart automatically as it should and requires a manual start. This is a Windows install which has TrayIcon.

Duplicati components explains where functionality lives. You’re probably on the Duplicati.Server.exe.

The earlier explanations set the context for me to say that this webserver is in the Server, so restarted.
I guess you can check processes. There should be two. Also see where you’re browsing to. Should be port 8200, and you can verify the LISTEN by using netstat or sudo ss -tapn | grep 8200 | grep LISTEN

While writing this, the post above it suggests maybe there’s an issue beyond the usual. If so, thank you for finding it. You can test out systemctl status duplicati, also stop, start, etc. to see if it starts.

Example data from Linux Mint 19.3:

# systemctl status duplicati
● duplicati.service - Duplicati web-server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/duplicati.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2023-04-12 08:44:45 EDT; 6s ago
 Main PID: 2573 (mono)
    Tasks: 17 (limit: 3494)
   CGroup: /system.slice/duplicati.service
           ├─2573 DuplicatiServer /usr/lib/duplicati/Duplicati.Server.exe --webservice-interface=loopback
           └─2577 /usr/bin/mono-sgen /usr/lib/duplicati/Duplicati.Server.exe --webservice-interface=loopback
# ss -tapn | grep 8200 | grep LISTEN
LISTEN      0        50              127.0.0.1:8200              0.0.0.0:*       users:(("mono-sgen",pid=2577,fd=9))

Maybe a newer Ubuntu than mine is based on is key to a different issue? My system is based on 18.04.
The fix listed for the hasher was aimed at a 22.04 problem. If there’s a start issue too, what is its scope?
Before assuming there’s a start problem, please see what results you can find from further investigation.

rodolphoarruda · April 12, 2023, 2:28pm

Yes, that’s what I did right after the UI became unavailable, but it did not bring the UI up again. And now I see from your reply that /duplicati.service - Duplicati web-server/ so I would guess the web-server is restarted in tandem with the app server.

I was not making much progress, so I decided to reboot the server. Once it was done, I could access the webUI and things seem to be back to normal.

ts678 · April 12, 2023, 2:52pm

That’s what it says in Duplicati components, linked above. The Server:

a web server is included in the server component

and from a systemctl perspective, they’re all one thing (to go up or down).
Maybe someone else will see this and test, or maybe we’ll hear more news.

That’s good to know. One more clue, plus it helps if anyone else sees this…

gpatel-fr · April 12, 2023, 3:38pm

Yes the auto update is working fine… with only the caveat that when something is wrong in the downloaded files from the update site for any reason (lack of disk space or antivirus shenanigan), there is not much of a warning and things fail silently.

ts678 · April 12, 2023, 3:56pm

If “fine” means “no worse than before”, that’s good to know. There was no improvement expected here.

2.0.3.14_canary_2018-11-08 was the removal of the 2.0.3.13 fix attempt, and the discussion was here:
Activate downloaded upgrade sometimes fail however we didn’t get the time to look at today’s problem. Mine is always transient, meaning it’s not like a file was mis-installed. Just hand-start, and it runs fine…
Unless @rodolphoarruda recalls more information on what was running, I think we lost that opportunity.

gpatel-fr · April 12, 2023, 4:03pm

my problem was transient too once I deleted the failed update and tried again after making enough available free space and waiting dutifully for the antivirus to terminate its operation before clicking too early on the wrong button

rodolphoarruda · April 12, 2023, 7:54pm

I might have new information to share by next morning BRT after the conclusion of the backup jobs that are supposed to run overnight.

If you don’t hear from me, though, it will indicate jobs ran as expected.

dgileadi · April 13, 2023, 8:13pm

Alas, the dmg build doesn’t work for me—the process exits a second or two after launch without ever showing a tray icon

Bob787 · April 13, 2023, 8:38pm

Ditto ‘no tray icon’ on a new Mac dmg install.

I was able to start the server manually and observe the GUI after a restart. On the good side, the scary (unverified developer) warning is no longer popping up.

gpatel-fr · April 13, 2023, 8:45pm

can you launch the trayicon by hand in a terminal window

mono Duplicati.Gui.TrayIcon.exe help

and report the output (only the first lines with the supported toolkits matter)

if there is no output, try the same but pipe the result:

mono Duplicati.Gui.TrayIcon.exe help | more

dgileadi · April 13, 2023, 9:10pm

gileadis@Daves-iMac Resources % mono Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe help
Supported commandline arguments:

--toolkit: Choose the toolkit used to generate the TrayIcon, note that it will fail if the selected toolkit is not supported on this machine
    Supported toolkits: winforms, gtk, cocoa

Is gtk the smoking gun?

gpatel-fr · April 13, 2023, 9:20pm

could be. Can you try to launch it with --toolkit=cocoa ?

dgileadi · April 13, 2023, 10:45pm

gileadis@Daves-iMac Resources % mono Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe --toolkit=cocoa
