Archlinux (manjaro) : urbackupclient doesn't work anymore

Hello,

Here is a brief summary of my setup :

  • client : manjaro 5.4.89-1-MANJARO, client version 2.4.11
  • server : debian 8 (jessie) – can’t upgrade this one :frowning: server version UrBackup Server 2.0.38 Rev. 85153c7771

It used to work properly for ages but since a recent kernel upgrade on the client nothing works anymore.

  1. The client can’t be updated by AUR anymore. Every version requires to uninstall wxgtk which I need.

  2. I followed the advices here and modified the “depends” to wxgtk2 and I could manually install the package…

  3. The backend crashes everytime. I tried to look at the logs and here is what I have when I start the client with -v debug

On the client :

  1. When I try the GUI it doesn’t work either (I guess the depends fix wasn’t such a good idea afterall)
    I can click on a few elements but every time I get an error message…

What should I do ?

  • Reinstall the client, trying to force a wxgtk-something ?
  • Reset the configuration ? Where ? Directly from the server ?
  • Wait for a fix ?

Well, a few years after my first installation, once again I’m stuck ! :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance for your answers and, obviously, for the wonderfull software :slight_smile:

Running the new client versions with old servers is kind of not supported.
