One more thing. Just tried to copy the duplicity command line that deja-
dup logs into terminal and it seems to begin restore:

duplicity 'restore' '--restore-time=2011-10-16T20:59:05Z' '--gio' '--
force' 'sftp://maniac@192.168.1.100/data/maniac-envy' '/' '--no-
encryption' '--verbosity=9' '--gpg-options=--no-use-agent' '--archive-
dir=/home/maniac/.cache/deja-dup' '--log-file=/tmp/deja-dup-HIXL3V'

I've interrupted it to not lose the test environment.

Title:
  Backup cannot be restored on a fresh install

Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  0. Decided to reinstall Ubuntu 11.10 from scratch
  1. Created a fresh backup of my /home/username on an SSH server with deja-dup
  2. Reinstalled Ubuntu
  3. Ran a restore process from deja-dup (a very slick UI, thank you!)
  4. Entered SSH credentials, checked "save password" box
  5. deja-dup successfully connected to server and listed available backup
  6. Selected restore to original location
  7. After severla seconds of "Preparing..." deja-dup asked me for a password to elevate privileges (why? I'm only restoring my own home dir)
  8. The UI wizard immediately turned to a terminal page reporting an error: "Connection failed, please check your password: Login dialog cancelled". When running `deja-dup --restore` from terminal duplicity also reports exit code 38.

  Note: same thing happens when pointing explicitly to a home directory
  instead of original location at step 6.

  Expected result is obviously a flawless restoration of my original
  home dir in place.
