I’ve tried a few different things with Fedora 22/XFCE and Insync refuses to start. I’ve got the repo configured and have used dnf to install/remove a couple of times but am not making any progress. I see the pango errors as well. Any ideas? The application is showing up in my menus but I get nothing when I try to start it.

I have the same issue.
Fedora 22. Gnome 3.16.
Installed TopIcons, not related. It worked once in the gnome hidden try too.
When I install, it runs normally and I configure it and it syncs.
After computer restart, while the insync app is in startup applications, it does not start.
I try to start it, I see it in the running processes as root, takes 100% CPU for 3 seconds and then dissapears.
I found out just now that when I run it with sudo it works. But it gets stuck again as it is trying to re-connect and do the initial setup as root.
This is very strange. Any ideas?

Running insync headless may be our best option in Fedora 22 for now.
$ insync start --headless
or
$ insync start --no-daemon --headless

I forced a pango fc21 downgrade, insync started with no reported errors and survived a reboot.
$ sudo rpm -i pango-1.36.8-5.fc21.x86_64.rpm --force

The forced downgrade did the trick - thanks a lot!

Hi
i have the same issue running insync in F22. Although i installed it, insync won’t start (no errors output at insync start command). Any ideas? I have not installed TopIcons.
Thanks

I can confirm the bug.
I did an upgade from FC21 to FC22 and insync stopped working. Could not start it in any way.
The trick from @KK1357 worked. I don’t think it’s a viable option since it could break other components eventually…
So… forcing the downgrade makes insync working for the moment!
Its the same version of Pango, just a different build of it. No problems experienced or anticipated. The next Pango update should upgrade it without any problems. However, I’m not even sure this work-a-round is even necessary with the 1.2.12 release.

Yeah it is. 1.2.12 still fails with ./insync: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: FcWeightFromOpenType.
The downgrade did work however.

I just upgrade to Insync Pro and I am experiencing this issue as well (on Fedora 22/GNOME3). It would be nice if someone at Insync could reply with a status update.
Hi guys, I’m so sorry for the delayed response. The team is currently working on the issues present in Fedora22, I will tag @lpugoy in this, so he can browse through and see which ones are currently being addressed. Thank you.
Thanks @KK1357 for the workaround. This worked for me as well. One update I wanted to add was where I grabbed the RPM’s from. The F21 build appears required for this to work (a F22 build of the old version doesn’t help), so I just grabbed the F21 builds from Koji directly which is the canonical source for Fedora content (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=637466).
Here is what I did:
wget https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/pango/1.36.8/5.fc21/x86_64/pango-1.36.8-5.fc21.x86_64.rpm
wget https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/pango/1.36.8/5.fc21/x86_64/pango-devel-1.36.8-5.fc21.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -i pango-1.36.8-5.fc21.x86_64.rpm pango-devel-1.36.8-5.fc21.x86_64.rpm --force
Worked like a charm. Hope this helps.
Also, for anyone that does this and is getting tired of dnf constantly telling you that you need to update pango, you can run updates with:
sudo dnf update --exclude=pango
And you’ll be able to cleanly get other updates.
Downgrading pango is a workaround. I need a fix…
Everyone, the 1.2.13 release should address this issue. Please check it out here: New Insync version: 1.2.13/1.2.14.
