Hello,
It looks like the sync operation fails whenever cpulimit is not available as of version 0.4.0b3 (see https://github.com/Gunther-Schulz/rclone-bisync-manager/issues/4). I submitted a PR to fix it but, in the meantime, anyone having trouble with sync not working (with no information in the log) can try to install cpulimit.
If you have still have the deprecated separate tray package installed you should first uninstall both rclone-bisync-manager-git and rclone-bisync-manager-try-git and then re-install rclone-bisync-manager-git otherwise the update will fail.
@kragol I know I am very late, but I fixed this issue upstream along with other improvements and robustness!
@SirMaxwellSmart Thank you for your comment. It should be fixed now. I also merged rclone-bisync-manager-tray-git into this package and improved the upstream code.
Hey,
The PKGBUILD for this and the tray application hardcode the python site-packages directory. This prevents the tray application from installing when using any python versions other than 3.12 as it doesn't properly deal with conflicting files.
Here is the Arch Wiki recommendations for using python site packages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python_package_guidelines#Using_site-packages
Here is a gist of my working PKGBUILDs https://gist.github.com/SirMaxwellSmart/25d905cbdbfc7fbe080e2f4075c31d64
@kragol thank you, I will fix this! I didn't realize anyone is actually using this :D Be aware that I use this personally without any issues whatsoever but its all very untested besides that. Although, since all operations that could cause inconsistency to any files are done by rclone itself, nothing major should be able to break.
Hello,
Thanks for this software. I just installed it and it looks very good so far !
I had one tiny issue with the installation process. I had to manually create a ~/.cache/rclone-bisync-manager dir or the daemon would report an error when trying to open the file ~/.cache/rclone-bisync-manager/sync_state.json.
Maybe that could be added to the PKGBUILD?
