Hello everyone.
I would like to know if anyone here on the forum managed to install and use Insync on RHEL 9. There is a step by step here on the forum but applied to RHEL 8. This step does not work on version 9 of the system.
I am having problems starting the application because it is installed on the system but does not run.
Since the flatpak version of Insync is coming out at a snail’s pace, we have to resort to “workarounds” to use the app.
This makes me very unhappy with Insync, which is not a free program. It should solve these issues in a faster way.
I would be very grateful if someone knows a way out of my situation.
Thanks.
Apologies for not deploying our Flatpak/Snapcraft support sooner to make installation more convenient. We’ve hit a few snags along the way and it was necessary for our team of developers to recalibrate our resources for this feature development.
Same here, application does not start after clicking on insync icon. Tried with insync-3.7.11.50381-fc35.x86_64. Can you provide instruction how to debug this issue?
$ rpm -q insync
insync-3.7.11.50381-fc35.x86_64
$ insync start --no-daemon
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

I was able to run Insync by providing the following change, from the above information.
I edited the insync.desktop file: sudo nano /usr/share/applications/insync.desktop
I changed it as follows:
I have saved and added the application to the startup list in Gnome Tweaks.
It worked .
Just running the command in the terminal does no good, because when you close the terminal, insync closes as well. The above way keeps it running.
Now I am waiting for a solution from the developers so that I am not left with the “gimmicky” app.
Hello.
The command is incorrect as it is not executing.
But I manually inserted the line (insync start --qt-qpa-platform=wayland) in both /autostart/insync.desktop and /applications/insync.desktop. I restarted, and it is working.
This still does not fix the whole problem and we need this fix to come in a new version of the app. Because whenever the version is updated as it was (Insync 3.7.11.50381 ==> Insync 3.7.12.50393) these settings are deleted.
