Hi gang,
I've got my files backed up with the deja dup. Now I have found that the program doesn't have an easy GUI. Is there a reason that we have neglected this? If only I knew how to take its inclusion on myself - how to update programs... Of course, there might be a reason that I'm unaware of as to why it was neither included in F20 nor has the GUI that it once did.

I still see the same UI that it always had. Run deja-dup-preferences, or search for 'Backup' in the gnome-shell app picker.
To see the initial welcome screen again, you may have to
gsettings set org.gnome.DejaDup welcomed false

Thanks! deja-dup-preferences worked! Of course, you were probably well-aware of this.

It's there in the applications menu too. Searching for "deja dup" or "backup" in activities takes you right to it. Can you elaborate on what you tried when you couldn't locate the GUI?

I did a GUI search and it showed nothing; as soon as I got to the "a" in "deja", nothing showed, yet I yum installed it before this.

You know, I've actually seen something similar where an overview search for something I know exists doesn't show it, and it does seem to change per letter. It seemed too vague and transient to report, but maybe it would bear looking at.
