Enabling and then disabling "backup my data" leads to unremovable error notification

Open axelsimon opened this issue 4 years ago • 8 comments

Hi, First of all, many thanks for making seedvault. We've needed a fully free Android backup solution that doesn't depend on for-profit, centralised services but "just works" for a long time.

Here's the issue i found: i enabled seedvault by activating "Backup my data", then went to pick a location. My Nextcloud server is currently unreachable, so i got an notification "Backup Error: a device backup failed to run". I stopped there and disabled seedvault backups.

But the seedvault notification now won't go away. Or to be more specific, it comes back a few seconds after being dismissed, no matter how many times it's dismissed.

Thanks!

That's probably the OS trying to re-initialize the backup location after it had failed. However, it shouldn't do that if backup is completely disabled. Are you sure that this happens with backup turned off?

Unfortunately, yes, this happens with the backup disabled.

This is on GrapheneOS, where Seedvault is built-in (OS version QQ3A.200605.001.2020.06.02.02 if relevant).

Do you know how to record a logcat of the relevant time-frame? Bonus points for only showing logs related to the issue. aka seedvault and system_server.

Sure, can do. Let me get that to you, although i need to check how much Graphene will let me get, first.

Sorry for the very slow reply, i wasn't able to get a log from an app on the phone and started looking into how to get a logcat from my laptop with just com.stevesoltys.seedvault and system_server but haven't found out how to get both, yet.

I haven't forgotten you however, so i'll get that to you soon! :)

Thanks @axelsimon! On a computer you can run:

adb logcat --pid=`adb shell pidof -s system_server`

and

adb logcat --pid=`adb shell pidof -s com.stevesoltys.seedvault`

Sorry, i think i caught some logs for you but then forgot about this issue. I'll check tomorrow.
