Hi,
I am getting an error message when trying to run duplicati on my Debian 10 machine. I posted details of the error here: New duplicati installation on Debian 10 crashes on launch · Issue #4263 · duplicati/duplicati · GitHub
Are there any Debian 10 users running duplicati successfully?
Thanks,
Ken
Welcome to the forum!
I run Duplicati on Debian (10 in the past, but I’m on testing now). I run it as a system level service (using systemctl) instead of running duplicati directly.
Do you want it to run as root on system bootup, or do you want it to run under the user context only while the user is logged on?
I am trying to simply run duplicati as a user from the terminal on an “as needed” basis. (I am using XFCE if that would make a difference and I am largely using Debian 10 buster stable with some buster-backports updates/apps).
And even when I try to run it as a service it fails:
ken@hp8570w:~$ sudo systemctl start duplicati

Ok let me see if I can reproduce the issue. I’ll set up a fresh Debian 10 VM to test.
Fresh install of Debian 10 w/ XFCE. Downloaded the 2.0.5.108 deb and installed it with apt. Mono dependencies were automatically installed as expected.
After installation I ran “duplicati” (as a regular user) and it started up just fine. Strange.
The error messages to me look like they have something to do with a Tray Icon. I am tempted to install Gnome and trying to run it through that. Do you think that would make a difference?
I’m not very familiar with XFCE but it seems to not support tray icons. I don’t think that in of itself is a problem though. I had no trouble starting Duplicati on Debian 10 with XFCE.
I reinstalled version 2.0.5.108 and tried running duplicati and the error message appears to be different (no reference to sqlite):
$ duplicati

It does seem to be largely Tray Icon related. I’ll try a VM and/or Gnome as soon as I get the chance.
Thanks,
Ken
Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe is the standard main process that runs (unless you are running as a service). You can confirm by looking inside the /usr/bin/duplicati script.
It is a strange issue though, I don’t think it’s been reported before in the forum. Hopefully your testing will turn up something.
It looks like a issue in /usr/lib/duplicati/Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe.config
The app should generate a new one if you delete/rename it.
Can you post that file?

I deleted the file and then ran duplicati again but now get this error:

I am starting to wonder whether the problem is related to my version/installation of mono which comes from here:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian stable-buster main
Yes the latest stable mono i v6. Try installing v5.0.
I tried v5 and v6 but still keep getting error messages when trying to run duplicati.
Appreciate if there is any other info I can provide that might help?
I’ll try to find some time to create a virtual machine and have a play with installing software similar to my existing setup and seeing if I get different results.
Just tested installation of 2.0.5.1-beta.deb on Linux Mint (ubuntu 20). It installed Mono v6.8.0.105 and works fine there.
