Wyng monitor throws an exception

I am on R4.3 with an fully up-to-date system.
I remember that once while doing an backup with wyng i had to stop the backup while running, which lead to some errors when I tried to do an backup again. Fortunately I was able to fix this, unfortunately this happened already some time ago and i didnt save any error messages.

However, creating backups with sudo wyng-util-qubes backup -includes and sudo wyng arch-check --session=newest works fine.
The only command that fails is

sudo wyng monitor --all

Output is:

Local storage is offline: None
Wyng 0.8 beta release 20250824
Enter passphrase: 
Local storage is offline: None
Encrypted archive 'qubes://<REDACTED>'
Last updated 2025-09-28 12:01:39.249748 (+20:00)

Error, Local path not found: (None) None

Error on volumes: <REDACTED, but all my volumes are just listed>

the “Local storage is offline: None” error also occurs on sudo wyng monitor --all, but the backup still finishes without any other errors.

Hi @andreasglashauser

Most Wyng operations require a --dest or --local or usually both, which is the case with wyng monitor.

So your command line sudo wyng monitor --all implies that you setup a config in /etc/wyng/wyng.ini to assign --dest default because Wyng is able to access the archive. But --local storage wasn’t specified. (Probably Wyng error message could make this more clear.)

[Edit] Example command: sudo wyng monitor --all --dest=\<URL\> --local=qubes_dom0/vm-pool

wyng-util-qubes works because it gets the local storage info from Qubes and always uses that when calling wyng.

This solved my problem. Thanks.
