@thenaterhood, how are you following releases? you seem to be missing out on updates.
This is what I'm doing:

  1. On the Insync Discourse I set Watching first post on the Releases topic.

  2. I have the following in urlwatcher's urls.yaml

name: "pkg/insync: release at insynchq forums"
url: "https://forums.insynchq.com/c/releases/15"
filter:
  - element-by-class: topic-list-item
  - grep: 'New Insync version'
  - html2text: re
  - re.sub: '.*: '
  - sort: re
---
name: "pkg/insync: debian buster repo"
url: "http://apt.insync.io/debian/dists/buster/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages"
ignore_cached: true
filter:
  - grep: 'Version'
---

p.s. Forgot to mention that the last one (apt repo) doesn't always work correctly due to the fact Last-Modified in the response HTTP header is not always updates on content change so urlwatcher just skip over it.

@biwhite, try to set QT_QPA_PLATFORM as an environment variable. You can also drop your own insync.desktop file with an updated Exec into $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications.

I'm no longer using this AUR package in favor of my own Flatpak but during a little investigation I noticed I can throw away most of the embedded shared libs in favor of system libs, and insync would still work perfectly fine.
IIRC I only had to keep the python, icu, shiboken2, curl libs, and the for rest I used systems libs, include qt5webengine. But I've done it with a Flatpak runtime not with Arch libs.
As this issue might be related to out-of-date QT libs then it probably worth trying to run insync with system libs instead of the embedded ones.

I'm on wayland and need to start the app with insync start --qt-qpa-platform=xcb otherwise there's no GUI showing up. How's best to get this incorporated into the .desktop files?

They released v 3.1 yesterday, but I reported a bug. They said they have just fixed it, but right now they have removed all the links to the downloads.

@mpei it's nice to hear that your issue was resolved. Note that you might be able to avoid the binary printer driver altogether. If you have a recent HP printer with AirPrint support then driverless printing with CUPS should just work, and it's possible you could get driverless scanning working via eSCL protocol with SANE's eSCL builtin backend or the sane-airsane one.

Thanks for everyone pointing me in the right direction. It is solved and I think I know what happened.

I renamed the symlink: mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.tmp

And installed insync with yay: yay -S insync aur/insync-nautilus aur/insync-nemo

Some time ago I had hp-lib installed and I remember that needed the symlink to be there in order to run properly and find the plugins. So I must have put that in manually and forgot about it. I'm grateful for all your help.

I'm grateful for all your comments! I really am not sure how to debug this on my own.
