I'm not having any problems myself. I don't see any reports (so far) on the Insync forums either, though there are some reports there of it failing to start entirely.

Not working well the latest 3.9.7 on my computer. Using a lot of CPU and not really syncing properly. Only me?

Have you also been presented with an empty interface for a while?

@thenaterhood & @BryanLiang - thanks both for your help and looking into this!

Insync works fine without the fonts package. I would actually venture there might be more removeable dependencies because the PKGBUILD contains more dependencies than the .deb still.

@wmzm I tested by removing adobe-source-code-pro-fonts and reinstalling the package myself. Insync continues to work without any issues.

@thenaterhood - thanks for looking into this. Any idea when/if this dependency, adobe-source-code-pro-fonts, will be removed?

thenaterhood commented on 2025-05-14 11:52 (UTC)

@BryanLiang it's probably a holdover from an older version that never got removed. I'll take a look and if it can go I'll drop that dependency.

Hello, why this package needs adobe-source-code-pro-fonts? I extract the deb to lookup control file inside and find out that it is not required there.

I also finally found a bit of time to dig deeper into why insync failed to start for me with newer versions and the result might be helpful for others.

As the latest comments indicate that insync has problems with the *.desktop file parsing, I checked those, but all of them were fine.

After that, I started insync via strace and looked through the output and noticed that it continuously went over some mount directories. I then checked the mount directories it was interested in and discovered that one of them is from a failed systemd automount unit that points to a currently disabled samba share. As soon as the service got disabled and I unmounted the broken mount, insync just started normally.

So if anyone still has problems with this, I think it is worth a shot to check all your mount locations, as for some reason insync must be able to access all of them during the startup.
