[Bug 1181056] [NEW] TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found

 

Public bug reported:

configuration files seem to be missing; I'm not sure why. (Maybe I've
got a backup?) Simple configuration created a new profile, but when I
set a destination, it refused with the above unintelligible-to-me
message.

Message displayed:
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)):

nothing in /var/crash.

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, Ubuntu 13.04
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
curious -- Software Centre asks if I want to install it. ?????
3) What you expected to happen
create a new profile
4) What happened instead
displayed above message; please restart and try again. Which I did,  and the problem repeated.
