I can't enable automatic backup

[robsonjorgefernandez]

Hi,

I can't enable Automatic backup on Fedora 31, the button is disabled.

Flatpak

$ flatpak --version
Flatpak 1.4.4

Deja Dup

$ flatpak run org.gnome.DejaDup --version
deja-dup 40.6

System

Operating System: Fedora 31 (Workstation Edition)
CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:31
Kernel: Linux 5.5.5-200.fc31.x86_64
Architecture: x86-64

I have another system(Ubuntu 19.10) and this issue doesn't happen.
Does anyone have any idea?

Because flatpak is containerized, Deja Dup can’t auto-start itself. So we use the background portal that flatpak provides to ask the system to start us automatically.

But support for that portal in GNOME is pretty new. Maybe 31 doesn’t have full support? There is a section of the system settings that lets you control what permissions flatpak apps have. Is there anything there about starting in the background?

I did reset the permission with flatpak permission-reset org.gnome.DejaDup to make it prompt again.

Then start the app again and allow it.

Thanks you!

Or, without a GUI or menu item: flatpak permission-set background background org.gnome.DejaDup yes
