I am attempting to restore my machine from a dejadup backup which is encrypted. I enter the correct password and it continues to prompt me for the password.
Relevant output in
/var/log/messages
is
2013-05-24T08:27:59.976602+01:00 linux-nscv sudo: The gnome keyring socket is not owned with the same credentials as the user login: /run/user/1000/keyring-ZBH03s/control

to me, it looks like your encrypted stuff is owned by user #1000
(you!) while you are trying to dencrypt as root (whose number is not
1000)
so, try decrypting it as yourself…see if that works…(and let us know)
Unfortunately, I am running as user. I am not sudo’ing the command. I am only dealing with the gui as user. Another forum has requested I try using duplicity directly. I will report back later.

No, that’s a side effect of using sudo; it is similar to issues with
“su” as compared to “su -”. I would try use “su -” in a terminal and
call the program from there.

I have never tried encrypting a backup with GPG, but I think that the
secret key must be in running system keyring, so perhaps you have to
restore the keyring first.
But I might be completely wrong.
