    Question Deja-dup reapeatedly asks for password

    I'm running deja-dup and every two minutes, literally, it asks me for the password. I don't remember it doing this before. I have to babysit it and repeat the password on a regular basis for it to do it's job. Is this normal? I'm running Xubuntu 12.04 64-bit.

    Do you have full write permissions on the destination folder, wherever that is? I don't use deja-dup so can not offer any other possible ideas.

    Right-clicked on the destination folder and checked the "Permission" tab. Under owner is says 'read & write', under group it says 'none'. When I try to change group to 'read & write' it changes it right back to 'none'. I don't know the console command to change permissions on files.

    And who is the owner of the destination folder, you (as user) or root?
