I did an OS upgrade from 23.10 to 24.04 that failed, and I had to do a fresh 24.04 install. Beside the 24.04 issue everyone else has had, I need to copy the Duplicati config file/files from the 23.10 disk to 24.10. What should I be looking for, I presumably can put it/them in the same place on 24.10.
That brings me to the libappindicator0.1-cil issue everyone has had, and saw the support thread. Frankly it left me confused. What is the easiest solution?
The files are usually stored in ~/.config/Duplicati.
You need the Duplicati-server.sqlite and any *.sqlite files.
I am not aware of any good workarounds unfortunately.
If you can live without having the tray-icon, you can ignore the dependency and just run duplicati-server instead of duplicati.
If you really want the tray icon, I will post a canary build soon that does not rely on libappindicator or mono. It does change quite a lot of things though, and is significantly less tested, although the core implementation is unchanged.
I have now published a canary build that installs on Ubuntu 24.04.
There are a few caveats and it is not well tested, but it does fit the “easiest” criteria.
OK, I’m game. Questions:
Where should I download the zip file? https://duplicati.com/download just has the standard 2.0.8.1
Are the generic Linux instructions still correct for this?
I have /root/.config/Duplicati (and its contents) copied over from Ubuntu 23.10. Will the install on 24.04use the config and sqlite files there?
You can use the update server:
Or Github:
And I am also experimenting with a prettier version (not a stable URL):
I’ve been running this special version of 2.0.9.100 since 5/30 and it works fine on Ubuntu 24.04 with no libappindicator0.1-cil issue. Today I got a popup offering 2.0.9.101. Is that safe with no libappindicator0.1-cil issue?
Great to hear!
Yes! I do not plan to release another version that depends on Mono / libappindicator. If some unexpected emergency arises the version will be 2.0.8.x.
Starting with 2.0.9.100 there is no longer a Mono or libappindicator dependency. The first stable release on this line will be something like 2.1.0.0.
