Insync fail to sync Czech diacritics filename on KDE, but succeed in other env

Bugs and issues Linux
#1

Hello, I am having issue with KDE and syncing

I have two machinse both having manjaro stable installed, one is i3wm and the other is KDE plasma release.

Both are up to date, both are logged with the same account. Both version of Insync are from AUR and have same version number. None of the linux machinse have the file manager extension installed. Both are on ext4 filesystem.
I have absolutely no idea how this is DE dependant but it’s broken.

Restarting the app didn’t help. Both sync are set to custom directory in "/home/user/gDrive/’

Tagging our engineer @lpugoy and he will get back to you.

There is a possibility, that this is a full system issue, cause Arc archive manager have troubles to display Czech chars as well and Kactivities are failing when try to extract to a subdir with czech special characters.

Since it was a fresh install of Manjaro KDE plasma, many users will experience this issue.
There is a strong chance this is an KDE bug, not an insync bug.

I am dumping my system information just in case

@freed00m: If your locale is not set to a UTF-8 one, please try setting it then restarting Insync. You can check by running locale.

I already have since isntalation,

[frdm@galactica ~]$ locale locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ALL=

It still doesn’t work

Problem solved,

There is a bug in the installer of Manjaro calamares, when user select a language en_US.utf8 and time format to be the British 24h format. It fails horribly and set all the config to en_GB.utf8 but installs un_US.utf8. This missmatch will fuck up the entire locale support and insync and other filemanaging apps will fail.

Problem fix by post install of en_GB.utf8 packages.
