Your software attracts archivist kind of git-annex user, so don't be surprise that I kept logs of the machine. Short answer: **confirmed it was a LXDE issue, now fixed**. ## From what date has git-annex started to work ? git log | grep Date: (many other lines...) Date: Mon Jun 30 21:43:49 2014 +0200 Date: Mon Jun 30 21:42:07 2014 +0200 Date: Mon Jun 30 21:38:22 2014 +0200 Date: Sun Jun 8 14:34:13 2014 +0200 Date: Sun Jun 8 14:28:48 2014 +0200 Date: Sat Jun 7 16:21:06 2014 +0200 So I tried to enable it on June 7, reported bug on June 8. The the machine was used on a regular basis but git-annex assistant was ineffective. Then it started working as expected from June 30th. ## Any package install near June 30th ?
