Hello! :)

I use LuckyBackup for years!
I used it on Linux Lite 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, 4.8 and now, i use it on 5.0. Never had any trouble.
I use it as Root, only in exceptional situations.
You probably messed up with the rights.
Now, the settings are all saved in /home so reinstalling, is unlikely to solve the problem.
The only way to solve it is uninstall everything and then delete manually any remainders from /home and wherever you find any traces of LuckyBackup. You'll have to enable viewing the hiddeen files. There are many LuckyBackup profiles spread here and there.
After cleaning everything, use Synaptic Package Manager to install.
It should work.
I never had any problem, except for the first run. Take care at the paths. It supoports only one directory depth (the root directory) as target.

Good luck! :)

@arky217 I would say it maybe something with LuckyBackup and Ubuntu 20.04 (LL5.0 Base)...


I did a quick google search and there does appear to be a bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/luckybackup/+bug/1887279


You would want to follow up with those devs...

When you install LuckyBackup, it puts two options in the menu.
Normal LuckyBackup and LuckyBackup as superuser.
With LuckyBackup, the command is /usr/bin/luckybackup.
With LuckyBackup as superuser, the command is /usr/bin/luckybackup-pkexec.

I save to an external hard drive and with the regular LuckyBackup, it always failed because
of not having the correct permission, so I always used the superuser LuckyBackup.
(This was with LL48)

Well, the superuser LuckyBackup always worked just fine in LL48, but in LL50, it gives the following error
when you use the terminal to start it:

 /usr/bin/luckybackup-pkexec
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

Aborted

Anyone know what the problem could be ?
