Crash on Kubuntu 26.04 [FIXED, non-Insync issue]

I recently updated to Kubuntu 26.04, and Insync refuses to start. I’m getting a crash with this error log:

My apologies for the trouble! Could you please do the following:

  • run insync start --no-daemon
  • email the full output to support@insynchq.com, including the link to this Forums post
  • include your logs.db and out.txt files, which are located in ~/.config/Insync

Thank you!

I apologize, this turned out to be a symptom of an entirely different problem. Chrome was corrupting my font cache, and that was screwing up basically everything. Now that’s fixed, Insync seems to be working fine.

Thank you for the response!
