@diogobaeder I don't need this workaround. Insync works for me correctly with the wayland and xcb Qt5 backends in Sway.
The main difference between this package and my own packaging is that I removed whatever I could of the bundled libs and I'm letting the app use the system libs.

Hi folks!

The new version has been released, but I could only run it with:

$ QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland insync start

which was a hint given in the insync forum. I changed the service and desktop files to reflect that.

[EDIT] Changing service and desktop files doesn't make the auto-startup work. Not yet sure why.

Thanks @tinywrkb appreciate the help. I did a little research and best I could come up with was it being related to the Qt theme. I'll report it and send them logs and see where it goes.

@inforogue this sounds like a bug, you should report it on the Insync forums or contact support via email.

As a workaround:

• Use the default location but don't start to sync, meaning don't choose folders & files to sync.
• Close the app.
• Use an SQLite editor to edit the settings DB directly and change the value of the OneDrive path. The DB is in ~/.config/Insync/data/gd-*.db but I don't remember where exactly is the synced folder path entry but it's there.
  I used sqlitebrowser to edit the DB but any other will do.

Another workaround is to create a symlink to the location of your target sync dir.

Running into a problem with Insync. I can get it to install fine and if I let it go with all the defaults it will run fine. But if during the install I click on the "Change" link to change the location to save Onedrive data to it will crash. The system tray icon will load up on relaunch but any time I try to go into settings to change locations it will immediately crash. Works fine on Manjaro but under regular Arch it exhibits this behavior.

If someone still can't start the app, and assuming this was introduced due to the xsettings schemas changes, I brought back the gsettings-xsettings-schemas package to the AUR for compatibility with outdated app-packaged GTK3 libs.
Read the pinned comments before installing the package.

Preferably, you should try before installing that package to set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=kde and QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct, or remove the packaged libgtk-3.so* so the system one will be used and/or libqgtk3.so.

And as said before, Insync devs are aware of the issue and it's expected to be fixed in 3.3.9.

@diogobaeder so it does seem to be a GSettings schema issue due to the outdated packaged GTK3 lib. Apparently libqgtk3.so is only used for matching the Qt5 theme with the GTK3 one so maybe just setting QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=kde or QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct can avoid loading this lib.

You can also try removing libqgtk3.so.

The other possible solutions I mention before are to remove the packaged GTK3 lib meaning libgtk-3.so* or to add those missing schema but the latter might break the XDG Portal and I'm not sure how this will affect the system.
I have the older schema installed and it works fine for me but my system is bare minimal and all the widget toolkit dependent apps I run through Flatpak.

Thanks a bunch, @tinywrkb ! So this is what I get: https://pastebin.com/XUgDw4yH - some missing antialiasing key, it seems... I'll try to tinker with that.

@diogobaeder, there's out.txt in .config/Insync and you can get a bit more verbose output by setting the environment variable QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1. Also, try starting with --no-daemon.
While the comment is now deleted, @rubusarbaro posted that the app is complaining about missing GSetting schema. Even though this is PySide2/Qt5 app, and not GTK3, I guess maybe it still makes some call to the GTK3 lib, so my suggestion about trying to add those schemas or removing the packaged GTK3 lib still applies, though I find it unusual that this would crash the app.

Not working on Gnome 40.0 for me either. If I run "insync start", I get nothing as output, and there's no verbose option. I tried using strace on it, but couldn't find a clue, it just seems to run /usr/lib/insync/insync but exit immediately afterwards. I don't know how to properly debug it.
