So my quick and dirty fix was to add to my go file:

 

/usr/local/crashplan/bin/CrashPlanEngine start

 

echo "Waiting 60 seconds to install Crashplan GUI"

sleep 60

/usr/local/sbin/installplg /boot/config/plugins/Crashplan_gui-1.0.9-noarch.plg

 

 

I start crashplan, wait 60 seconds then re-install the package.

If you use soft links in /usr/local and /var/lib to point to crashplan on a cache drive or something, the Backup command will not work.  You need to add the -h option to dereference links.

So I think the plugin is trying to download the .png before it has an internet connection.  Two thoughts on a quick and dirty fix:

 

1) I think the plugins get installed in alphabetical order.  So if the plugin file is renamed to something like zCrashplan_gui-1.0.9-noarch.plg, that may delay the install long enough for the internet connection to be up.

2) The reason it's trying to download the .png file every reboot is because the plugin cleans up any prior install of itself every time.  I assume this is really only needed the first time it's run?  If that part of the .plg script is commented out the .png would be persistent across reboots (after the first install, that is).

 

I had the same issue where the plugin wasn't loading after a reboot (5.0-RC5).  I saw the same "bad download" string in my log.  I have almost no idea what I'm doing but I deleted these lines from the plugin:

    rm -r /boot/config/plugins/crashplan_gui

    <FILE Name="/boot/config/plugins/crashplan_gui/Crashplan-logo.png">

    <URL>http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699829/Crashplan-logo.png</URL>

    </FILE>

 

Then I just made sure I had a copy of the png at /boot/config/plugins/crashplan_gui/Crashplan-logo.png

The plugin seems to load after reboots now.  Does anyone have any thoughts on this?  I suppose I need to be careful if I ever update the plugin.  But I was curious if I was doing anything silly with the "fix"

 

FYI: I didn't try lovingHDTV's fix since I didn't want to mess with my go file.  I have Crashplan successfully loading via a plugin and my go file is pretty empty.  And since I'm clueless, I wasn't entirely clear what this line would do to my setup so I opted with my dirty "fix"

/usr/local/crashplan/bin/CrashPlanEngine start
