Should Back In Time inhibit suspend or idle mode by default?

Hello, I stumbled across a bunch of old issues related to power management, DBus and inhibiting suspend mode. I was doing some refactoring in this area. So the question [1] comes up, I was also asking at Mastodon [2]: "Should Back In Time inhibit suspend or idle mode by default?" Some opinions or Vetos about it? Thank you and best wishes, Christian [1] -- <https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/2108> [2] -- <https://fosstodon.org/@backintime/114415822192466615>

Hey Folks, I might have an issue related to Wayland. <https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/2084#issuecomment-2786470236> I am not sure how urgent it is in context of the upcoming Debian stable. I don't have Wayland at hand. Can someone with Wayland modify add the debug-print-code I mention in the Issue and tell me what your Wayland returns? Thanks in advance, Christian

backintime-qt-root 1.5.3 consumes all memory
by Tim Evans April 5, 2025

April 5, 2025

Have just upgraded to 1.5.3 on my Dell laptop (Fedora 41--Linux harrier 6.13.9-200.fc41.x86_64). Trying to start the graphical user interface as root user ('backintim-qt-root' at shell prompt)--as I have done since starting with BiT more than a year ago. This generates runaway processes that after three or four minutes consumes all memory. Other apps get killed and eventually the whole system stops. Nothing graphical ever appears. This does not happen if I start the GUI as a non-root user, via the drop down apps menu entry for BiT. Only when I start it from the command prompt. Interesting, there is no such behavior on my Fedora desktop. I have downgraded to 1.5.2 for the time being.

"Snapshot" is now "Backup" and other modifications (Review Request)

Hello together, I worked on two issues regarding the translatable source strings appearing in the GUI. Before uploading this to the translation platform I would like to have a second pair of eyes taking a look on it. Please review my Pull Request: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/pull/2074 As discussed earlier I modified the term "snapshot" into "backup" and rephrased some of the strings because of that. Second I neutralized strings containing a "you". i removed the "you" and tried to make BIT sounding more serious. Thanks in advance, Christian Buhtz
