Hello,

I recently found myself trying to install on my Ubutun 20.04 machine. I’ve downloaded the .deb, and try to install with dpkg, it fails:

# dpkg -i /home/oxdf/Downloads/insync_3.7.0.50216-impish_amd64.deb

As far as I can tell, 2.31 is the most recent version of LIBC for Ubuntu focal:

Hi @dctarheel! Looks like the output is saying that the impish (Ubuntu 21.10) is being downloaded, whereas you need the focal build.

Could you try once more by using the 3.7.0.50216-focal_amd64.deb file?

That was it. Silly me. Downloaded the wrong installer. 🤦 Thanks!

No worries at all! It seems like it’s happened to some users as well and leads me to think we may need to explore something here.

Could you walk me through the step-by-step of how you installed Insync? Did you fetch it straight from the repos, downloaded from our website, etc?

I’m get the same error when install insync in ubuntu 20.04.

sudo apt install insync

Lendo informação de estado... Pronto
insync já é a versão mais recente (3.7.1.50307-impish).
Você pode querer executar 'apt --fix-broken install' para corrigí-los.
Os pacotes a seguir têm dependências desencontradas:
 insync : Depende: libc6 (>= 2.34) mas 2.31-0ubuntu9.2 está para ser instalado
E: Dependências desencontradas. Tente 'apt --fix-broken install' sem nenhum pacote (ou especifique uma solução).

Hi @Gilzamir_G :slight_smile: Can you try the focal build instead of impish?

@Gilzamir_G By the way! To fetch the appropriate build, you’ll need to update your insync.list file to focal :slight_smile:

@asimsuheb I have alerted our Linux team regarding this and will give you an update on what steps to take next!

@asimsuheb Here’s our engineer’s advise:

Please run lsb_release -a to confirm your distro version. Make sure that you are installing the correct Insync build based on that.

Then, after Insync is properly installed, please run sudo apt update and then try installing the Nautilus extension again. :slight_smile:
