Bug Description

1. I plug in my external USB HDD.
2. I enter the LUKS password to unlock it.
3. The disk is automatically mounted.
4. Deja-dup shows a popup window with this text: InvalidBackendURL: missing // - relative paths not supported for scheme gio+invalid: gio+invalid://

It might be that I renamed the partions on the disk.
I'm using Fedora 26 fully up-to-date.

lsb_release -d

When I start deja-dup to make an backup to an external USB HDD (which worked fine in the past), this error is displayed:

InvalidBackendURL: missing // - relative paths not supported for scheme gio+invalid: gio+invalid://

The external USB HDD is encrypted. When I first mount the disk, so that it is available, and then start deja-dup from the command line, I get window with this message:

Storage location not available
Waiting for '5.0 TB Encrypted' to become connected...

Note that the name of the mount point is different:
ls /run/media/jan/
'5.0 TB Partition'

In the dropdownlistbox for the Storage location in deja-dup, I only see: '5.0 TB Encrypted', not '5.0 TB Partition'.

Yikes, looks like a bad regression in external drive support in 35.x/36.0.

I've fixed in trunk and will release a 36.1 release.

Shouldn’t this bug remain open to track inclusion of that patch into the Fedora package for deja-dup?

In the meanwhile, I worked around the bug by selecting manually the destination location again. This means that I cannot test whether the bug is fixed.

For now I will reopen the bug.

I've opened a new bug here because I think that's standard practice when a bug is fixed and then apparently regresses (otherwise this bug needs to be changed from Fix Released to Confirmed)? Please Reto and Simon could you mark yourself as affected by my bug? :) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/1734499

I run weekly backups with Deja-Dup, last week had no issues. This week I received "InvalidBackendURL: missing // - relative paths not supported for scheme invalid: invalid://"

I run Manajaro Linux on Gnome, 64-bit, Manjaro had an update on 2-3-18, Last week's backup was fine (2-10-18), today I cannot get it to run without this error. Thanks
