Not working with fontconfig 2.13

Diogo_Baeder · March 25, 2018, 5:12pm

Hi there,

I use Arch Linux at home; I installed it in a new laptop I got, and, after installing insync, it just won’t start, giving me the following error:

$ insync start --no-daemon
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 6, in <module>
  File "__main__.py", line 128, in <module>
  File "__main__insync__.py", line 180, in <module>
  File "__main__insync__.py", line 30, in main
  File "PySide/QtGui.py", line 26, in <module>
  File "PySide/QtGui.py", line 17, in _bbfreeze_import_dynamic_module
ImportError: /usr/lib/insync/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var

I noticed that it links that file to my current libfontconfig:

$ ls -lh /usr/lib/insync/libfontconfig.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 dez 20 14:32 /usr/lib/insync/libfontconfig.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1

And I also noticed that insync seems to be using its own embedded PySide:

$ locate -i pyside | grep insync
/usr/lib/insync/PySide.QtCore.so
/usr/lib/insync/PySide.QtGui.so
/usr/lib/insync/PySide.QtNetwork.so
/usr/lib/insync/PySide.QtSvg.so
/usr/lib/insync/PySide.QtWebKit.so
/usr/lib/insync/PySide.phonon.so
/usr/lib/insync/libpyside-python2.7.so.1.2

However, I noticed that it was running just fine in my desktop (as opposed to my laptop). Then, I upgraded my packages in my desktop and insync stopped working there too, showing the very same error.

That said, what seems to have happened is that insync relies on an internal PySide version, which relies (perhaps indirectly, via fontconfig) on an external libfontconfig, which now seems to have changed its API.

These are my specs:

$ uname -a
Linux diogobaeder-desktop 4.15.12-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 21 15:14:56 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ pacman -Qi gnome-desktop | grep -i vers

$ pacman -Qi fontconfig | grep -i vers
Versão               : 2.13.0+10

Here are the packages that got upgraded in my desktop that immediately caused insync to stop working:

Any ideas of how to fix this, without having to downgrade the libraries I use for other programs, like fontconfig?

Thanks,
Diogo

Just a quick update: downgrading fontconfig does seem to make it work again:

So it’s clearly related to fontconfig, however I’d like to avoid having to stick to that fontconfig version in order to avoid impacting other packages, which are quite a lot:

$ pacman -Qi fontconfig | grep -i necess
Necessário para      : cairo  chromium  dropbox  ffmpeg  ffmpeg2.8  gd  ghostscript  grafana  lib32-fontconfig  libass  libbluray  libmagick  libmagick6  libxft  mumble  podofo  poppler  qt4  qt5-base  sencha-cmd-6  ttf-dejavu  ttf-droid  ttf-liberation  ttf-ms-fonts  ttf-roboto  ttf-ubuntu-font-family  vlc  wine  xorg-fonts-misc

Thanks!

@Diogo_Baeder, I just checked the AUR Insync page, and the maintainer has deleted the fontconfig symlink: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/insync/

@Diogo_Baeder, you’re not the only user to have problems with the 1.4x updates. Everything seemed to be working without problem for me before I accepted the 1.4 updates. I’m considering downgrading to 1.3.

I don’t know if this will help your specific situation since I’m not using Gnome, but in my Manjaro MATE the Insync fontconfig isn’t linked to /usr/lib (which is the same version fontconfig as your downgrade):

$ pacman -Qi insync | grep -i vers

Version : 2.12.6+5+g665584a-1
$ pacman -Qi mate-desktop | grep -i vers
Version : 1.20.0-1

I don’t have PySide installed.

But then again, there seems to be a regression in Insync 1.4 because it’s forced me to revert to changing the QGtkStyle GUI to anything besides GTK+ (using qtconfig-qt4, per this Insync Forum post from April 2017: https://forums.insynchq.com/t/insync-wont-start-on-manjaro-with-mate-desktop/8910/6).

Again, everything was working without issue for me prior to the updates to the 1.4.x versions of Insync.

Yeah, I guess I’ll just revert to insync < 1.4 for now and block upgrades for it while this issue is not solved. I hope the developers find a solution for it soon

Another update: I just found out that it’s actually insync 1.3.22 that got broken; it was working fine before, but got broken because of that change in fontconfig (the latter changed its API, but insync doesn’t seem to have changed its client code). So I’d say this is more of an incompatibility issue than a bug in insync - so I don’t blame this on insync devs at all, it’s just a matter of adapting to the new fontconfig API, I guess. Or perhaps thinking of a way to use the OS provided PySide instead of shipping its own one.

@Diogo_Baeder Thank you for the detailed report and for sharing your findings on this issue.

It’s very probably an issue with PySide – we have plans of moving to either PyQt5 or PySide 2 in the relatively near future to avoid issues like this since PySide is no longer being actively maintained or developed.

Cool, good to know. Please let us know when you guys have an update on the issue, and how we can be helpful (perhaps testing or whatever)

@Diogo_Baeder,
I’m running x86_64 Antergos Arch.
I also found after upgrading a couple of days ago that insync stopped working.
I’m new to Arch and getting to know my way around.
I downgraded fontconfig using your command and insync started to work. I then rebooted and the Openbox GUI did not come up. After working out how to alter GRUB to boot to the command line, I upgraded to the latest fontconfig and then booted sucessfully to the GUI /Openbox. Phew!
Unfortunately I do not have any earliear version of insync than 1.3.22 in my package cache /var/cache/pacman/pkg. In the cache there is only the current version of insync.
Are you using a repository for the insync downgrade, in which case where did you find the older version, or, are you using an old cache package, in which case could you post it up somewhere if possible.
My only other alternative is to compile earliear code. As of yet I don’t know where the code is, or, how I would make that work with the AUR / command line.
Which version of insync did you downgrade to?
Perhaps you have a useful command to downgrade insync to the working version, you mention, before 1.3.22?

Thanks

ps this is the server that supplied the insync package I am using, and there is only one package listed as shown (link). I can see no earliear versions on the server.
http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64/insync-1.3.22-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
I’ve done a fair bit of googling and can’t find earliear versions of the package.

Hi folks, until associated packages are fixed and insync is working again on arch linux, I’m going to have to work on a debian machine, which is working with the recent updates.

Kes · April 18, 2018, 10:37am

I just upgraded Arch and got Insync 1.4.5.37069.
It’s working again!
Thanks for the update.

Augusto_Morais · May 8, 2018, 11:56pm

I had the same problem. Just upgrade to 1.4.5.37069 and it will back to work.
