Backup restore crashed while restoring

Please can you start the restore process from a terminal, let it crash and attach the output. Thank you for your help.

Hello Martin,

how do i get an error output, the onle output is by choosing the restore-path
error1.txt
But no output after i killed the simple backup because it runs and runs andd runs. After 5 minutes the Application said "The application stops responding" Force Quit or waiting i choosed the first. The location where i restored the File from the fulbackup is a new folder tmpi2u-Qi with sudo rights. If i opend it with sudo rights i find my file. And the File is OK

Many greetings

I reproduced your "crash", but it is no crash. There are two problems here. First the python threading in gtk isn't enabled. This leads to a blocking UI and this looks for the user as a crashing or hanging application. The second problem is the tar it is started with the occurrence parameter to stop after extracting all files but it doesn't. It waits until gzip has extracted the complete backup tar. I start working on a fix by enabling gtk threading and showning the user that there is progress.

This is a bug in gnu tar.

Hello Martin,

Do you open the ticket for this Bug for tar. or should i do it? You know what the Error is, you should do it.

I asked on there ML and they responded with a patch so I thing a bug in gnu tar isn't necessary, but possbily one for tar ubuntu. I will do this.

Fix is in this branch https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mascha/sbackup/0.10.5_with_fixes since revision 26. Current tar version in ubuntu is 1.22 which includes the fix for not respecting the occurrence parameter.
