Public bug reported: I have kubuntu 16.04 LTS as a clean install in my laptop.
When deja-dup is set to backup automatically and to encrypt files, every time it starts to backup, it asks for the encryption password. This happens to me only in KDE, as before I had installed ubuntu MATE and deja-dup didn't ask for the password more than once, the first time it runs the backup, as normal. In kubuntu, once I put the encryption password as deja-dup always asks for, the backup runs OK. I have searched in Google for similar problems, like in: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=123644 and I found that kubuntu does not install gnome-keyring when deja-dup is installed. As deja-dup is developed for GNOME desktop environment it seems that it needs this package for functioning properly (for saving the passwords). Once I installed gnome-keyring and its dependencies as requested by the package manager (I like to use Synaptic even in Kubuntu), the problem has gone and deja-dup backups just nicely now. Not more asking for password every time. So, summarizing: 1) What I expect to happen: that deja-dup doesn't ask for the backup password every time that it runs a backup in kubuntu. 2) What it happens instead: deja-dup asks for it every time because it needs, also in kubuntu, the package gnome-keyring installed along with its dependencies. 3) Hence, I request that kubuntu installs automatically gnome-keyring when deja-dup is marked to be installed or it won't work properly, as quoted.
