Hi there,

I get the following error on calling ‘insync start’:

Am at my wit’s end at the moment, so have resorted to looking for help here …

Thank you.

Hi @yusseri

Can you send us the output of uname -a and ldd --version?
And which Linux distro/version are you using?

#3

Hi. Sorry for the late reply. Didn’t get notified, for some reason. Anyway, I’m using Arch Linux.

uname -a output:

Linux delboy 6.6.8-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 21 Dec 2023 19:01:01 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

ldd --version output:

Seeing the same issue with the latest version of Insync.

Linux Zeus 6.6.8-AMD #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Dec 21 06:42:31 CET 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Same ldd version 2.38

Can also confirm with latest version of insync (3.8.7.50507):

Linux PC-T 6.6.8-zen1-1-zen #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 21 Dec 2023 19:00:41 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
#6

There is also a systemd-coredump:

Hello! Could you please let us know if this issue persists on 3.8.7-50508?

Hi there!

Yes, it does, unfortunately.

@yusseri Hello! My apologies for the trouble. I have escalated this to our Linux Team.

I can confirm that this also occurs on Fedora 38 with the latest version

I’ve also tried downgrading to the previous version of python3-psutil (5.9.5-1.fc38 to 5.9.2-2.fc38) but this does not resolve the issue.

#11

Try this - it just worked for me - simple uninstall of insync, reinstall, and then a manual start worked. Very strange, but it did:

Many thanks for linking the thread here and confirming it worked, @9strands!

How can i downgrade to 3.8.6? Unfortunately, dont have the .zst file cached and already deleted the package on my cloned insync directory

#14

Hi @trebllaw, may I know the issues on 3.8.7.50516 that prompted you to try downgrading?
