I wanted to change the “root” directory of a particular account from ~/insync/onedrive/mike@carif.io' to~/insync/1drive/mike@carif.io. I paused syncing, changed the path, but even after applying the change, the old path remained. So stopped the service (killed it actually), hoping toinsync show` without running the daemon. No luck. Now I can’t restart
the service nor can I launch the (Qt) dashboard.
So, my questions:
-
How do I/should I stop the service for configuration changes? I paused syncing, but that wasn’t sufficient?
-
How do I restart the service? The “startup application” just does
insync start. I assume I could do likewise.
The specifics are below:

QXcbIntegration: Cannot create platform OpenGL context, neither GLX nor EGL are enabled
Note that if I reboot the machine, insync show will pop up the UI. I just don’t want to reboot if I’m changing configuration information. Note also that
it’s suspicious that OpenGL context flags is (none) and it would appear that the nvidia driver has appeared alongside this error multiple times. In any event,
I have recent nvidia drivers installed, gl libraries for the nvidia and the approprate Qt5 .so’s for QXcbIntegration (whatever that is):

I don’t know all that much about Qt5, so I’ll assume the right libraries were installed. I note that there are a few other forum questions related to Qt5 ui issues.
There are many libraries in flight and all kinds of dependencies, so I realize its a challenge to wrangle all the dependencies. But it’s also a flaw not to have a way
to edit configurations while the service is running.
