For those not familiar, the Linux Mint folks release a version of their distribution based on upstream Debian packages instead of upstream Ubuntu packages.
Just for testing, I blew-away my OS, and installed the previous release of Mint (21.1 instead of the newer21.3) and installed the designated Insync package for that (3.9.0.60000/insync_3.9.0.60000-jammy_amd64.deb).
That seems to work fine/as-expected.
So, I guess I’ll have to stick to the older Mint release for now.
Hi @Mecha_Weasel, so sorry for the trouble in getting Insync to work for you!
I’ll send this to our engineer for further investigation. Thank you for all the details you provided thus far - I’ll update this thread as soon as I know more.
Unfortunately, I had to get up and running.
I blew-away my system, and re-installed the older version of Linux Mint (21.1).
So, I can not really troubleshoot the other installations at this point.
I’m also running LMDE 6, and would like this issue to be resolved (please). So here’s the output of “lsb_release -a” for LMDE 6 (Debian 12.5 with Cinnamon 6.0.4)
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Linuxmint
Description: LMDE 6 (faye)
Release: 6
Codename: faye
@Werner_Fouche Hi! Could you confirm if you had the same output as the OP’s when you try installing the Debian 12 (Bookworm) build? If so, could you send me the output of apt-cache policy insync as well?
Good news. I installed the Bookworm version of InSync for Debian on “Linux Mint Debian Edition (LDME) 6”. and it installed without any issues. It also works fine, and I’m able to sync files.
Recommending that the Linux Mint download section of your web site be updated to also have a link for the relevant download for LDME 6 as suggested below:
