[Bug 696183] Re: Failed to set GID to `admin`: 'getgrnam(): name not found: admin'

 

Thank you for using SBackup and for taking the time reporting this bug.

You're describing 2 different things that happen:
1. an error message stating "Failed to set GID to `admin`: 'getgrnam(): name not found: admin'" which actually isn't an error.
2. the notification error "No desktop session found. Indicator application is not started."

This bug deals with 1) and I've already commited a fix for it.

Issue 2) is dealt with here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/sbackup/+bug/697654. Please add further
comments there.

Thanks for your help.

** Description changed:

- 
  I installed sbackup on Mint LMDE from source and the installation went fine with all dependencies are met.
  When I run it it terminates with this output.
  Can someone help me to solve this?
  I am using sbackup 0.11.3 on debian testing 32 bit released as Mint LMDE with Gnome Desktop 2.30
