Arch Linux User Repository

I solved the problem of program crash when cliking on "local selective sync" :

mkdir -p /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/ ln -s /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache

I solved the problem with that bug: install: cannot stat '../insync@.service': No such file or directory

Just edit PKGBUILD and change these rows:

install -Dm644 ../insync@.service ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/systemd/system/insync@.service
install -Dm644 ../insync.service ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/systemd/user/insync.service

to full path. It depends on your AUR helper. I use trizen, so I wrote this:

install -Dm644 /tmp/trizen-guardcat/insync/insync@.service ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/systemd/system/insync@.service
install -Dm644 /tmp/trizen-guardcat/insync/insync.service ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/systemd/user/insync.service

@JPB_9876 rclone-browser (rclone+gui) works pretty well: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rclone-browser

Alas, as others here have said, version 3.x is an absolute disaster... The comments at Insync Forum illustrate the point. While as a non-technical user I'm grateful for ericdubois' hard work on this, this version unfortunately does NOT synchronise files. I started with a clean slate, only to end up with multiple double ups and no-shows. Totally unreliable. I would dearly love to go back to version 1.5.x because I never had any issues with it, but no matter what I do, it won't run in any shape or form. Exits with the same crash teacher4711 described earlier. I guess it'll have to be rclone again...

Just so you know, Insync depends on Python v3 these days. See here for confirmation: https://www.insynchq.com/blog/insync-3/

I'm seeing the same build failures with aurto (which uses a clean chroot via aurutils).

Also (and this is more of a personal conjecture), given the manual migration steps involved in going from 1.x to 3.x (as per Insync's emails), I think it would've been better to have a message explaining the manual migration steps required when the package is updated in pacman, perhaps even going so far as to make 3.x into a separate AUR package (though probably a little late for that now that this one is updated).

EDIT [23-Dec-2019] - Removed link and reference to snippet of error that is no longer available.

Cannot build in clean chroots (extra-x86_64-build)

install: cannot stat '../insync@.service': No such file or directory

I use Cinnamon DE. The program crashes although I carefully cleaned my home directory from any insync related file as you wrote.

I think insync-headless is missing n the package: set 19 17:27:09 archlinux systemd[56964]: insync.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/bin/insync-headless: No such file or direct>

@erikdubois Thank you for updating the package, I for one appreciate it. Might not be that helpful but, to confirm, I am having none of the reported problems on Manjaro using KDE. I don't get the crash described for "local selective sync". So far, everything seems to work as it should. Will report any problems.
