[Bug 1179080] [NEW] sBackup unable to be configured for external media destination

 

Public bug reported:

The error report states:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/sbackup/sbackup/ui/configgui.py", line 1103, in on_dest1_toggled
    self.on_dest_localpath_selection_changed()
  File "/usr/share/sbackup/sbackup/ui/configgui.py", line 1542, in on_dest_localpath_selection_changed
    if (os.path.isdir(_target) and os.access(_target, os.R_OK | os.W_OK | os.X_OK)):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/genericpath.py", line 41, in isdir
    st = os.stat(s)
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found

I've used sBackup successfully for several years.  Just updated to
Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) and attempted to set up sBackup
configuration.  All OK until I clicked on "Use custom local backup
directory", when error window appeared.

Simple Backup Suite 0.11.4, installed through Synaptic Package Manager
(not from PPA).

This should be ranked as "High".
