Hi all,

Since last 1.2.x insync Linux portable versions, i don’t manage to start it.

Here is the error log with the last 1.2.7 portable 64 bits version (insync-portable_1.2.7.35123_amd64.tar.bz2). For information, i use ArchLinux last update in headless mode.

$ ./insync-portable start --no-daemon
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 6, in
File “main.py”, line 128, in
File “main__insync-portable.py”, line 131, in
File “main__insync-portable.py”, line 30, in main
File “isyncd/linux/portable/unix_socket_server_portable.py”, line 11, in
ImportError: cannot import name appui

I have to fallback to the last 1.0.X stable version which don’t any problem to start and running.

Thanks in advance.

@cyayon Could you send the md5sum of the downloaded insync-portable_1.2.7.35123_amd64.tar.bz2 file as well as the full output of the ./insync-portable start --no-daemon command? The md5sum should be 35e12d52dcfda69d4b1bf0ffbe9387fb.

Hi,

Yes the same sum

$ md5sum insync-portable_1.2.7.35123_amd64.tar.bz2
35e12d52dcfda69d4b1bf0ffbe9387fb insync-portable_1.2.7.35123_amd64.tar.bz2

The full outuput already posted in my first message. No more output.

It is the same error already posted with this subject :
“1.2 version doesn’t start om Fedora 20 after update”

Thanks

I was getting the exact same error using the portable version for raspberry pi insync-armhf_1.2.7.35123_i386.tar.bz2

The fix was I backed-up and deleted the insync-portable folder and then re-extracted the folder with the 1.2.7 tar

Hello,

Same problem with the last 1.2.8.

$ ./insync-portable -v
1.2.8.35136
$ ./insync-portable start --no-daemon

@cyayon Have you tried @Hines_Richardson’s suggestion? What command are you using to extract the package? Does the user running insync-portable have proper read permissions on the extracted files?

Perfect !
Remove the old insync-portable and untar again was the solution !

Thank you very much.
