Description Kim Cascone 2009-02-12 21:09:44 UTC

working on a Dell mini9 running Ubuntu 8.10
Installed Conduit 0.3.14 via the Ubuntu repositories
launched app 

created a 'files' -> 'directory' conduit - with one way sync

config'd the 'files' to include a dir filled with .wav files on a SDHC card (42% used)
/dev/mmcblk0p1
/media/disk
formatted vfat

config'd the dir to point at a folder on a 250G USB hard drive (6% used)
/dev/sdb1
/media/backup
formatted vfat


select 'Sync All' in File menu
both files and directory icons say 'Synchronized OK' after a second
although no transfer of files took place
and nothing is in the directory
no conflicts in the conflicts field

nice app -- wish I knew what I was doing wrong or if this is a bug

Try to launch the app via the command line & report the error message reported.

Comment 2 John Stowers 2009-02-13 08:59:53 UTC

Confirmed. Relevant log snippets - We should not replace / unless it is in the filename, not the path.

I recommend adding the Conduit PPA to your sources list 

https://launchpad.net/~conduit/+archive/ppa

Then install coduit-trunk version, which will ensure that you receive this fix ASAP.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
