Insync fails to start on Arch/Gnome 40 (with fix)

Insync fails to autostart with systemd on my Laptop with Arch/Gnome 40. I have installed version 3.4.1.40977 from the AUR.

Here is the output of systemctl --user status insync:

Hi @fabwu-- could you also run insync start --no-daemon and share the output here? Thank you!

clautercarlos · June 14, 2021, 3:31pm

For me also don’t start.
My output here:

Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

(insync:2344659): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 12:17:20.793: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings' does not contain a key named 'antialiasing'

I am using: QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland insync start and ìnsync show.
However, i can’t handle the window and icon don´t show.

mia · June 15, 2021, 4:30am

Hi @clautercarlos, are you also running Insync 3.4.1?

fabwu · June 15, 2021, 5:39am

Here’s the output:

$ insync start --no-daemon
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

and here the insync version:

$ insync version
3.4.1.40977

clautercarlos · June 15, 2021, 12:32pm

insync version: 3.4.1.40977

mia · June 16, 2021, 2:18am

Thank you both for sending the additional information. Let me send this to our Linux team and I’ll update you here!

Kurt_Ko · June 16, 2021, 8:33am

Hi @fabwu @clautercarlos

Can you install/upgrade gsettings-desktop-schemas to the latest version?

If it still doesn’t work, replacing the above package with gsettings-desktop-schemas-git in the AUR help?

There was a bug with gsettings-desktop-schemas that is fixed in later versions

fabwu · June 16, 2021, 9:20am

No luck with gsettings-desktop-schemas-git.

The key exists under:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings.deprecated:/ antialiasing
'grayscale'

It looks like antialiasing was replaced with font-antialiasing.

Kurt_Ko · June 17, 2021, 4:25am

Hi @fabwu

What are the versions of gtk3/gtk4 do you have installed?
Ref: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/3680#note_1040412

fabwu · June 17, 2021, 5:38am

I have gtk 3.24.29 and gtk 4.2.1 installed.

If I start insync with GDK_BACKEND=x11 insync start --no-daemon it does work (see here). Not sure if that helps…

clautercarlos · June 23, 2021, 3:15pm

Same problema with gsettings-desktop-schemas-git.

gtk 3.24.29-2 and gtk 4.2.1-2

I’m using QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland but insync don’t start with the system and no icon appear yet.

Thanks

Kurt_Ko · June 24, 2021, 2:03am

Hi @fabwu @clautercarlos

Would it work w/o setting the extra env variables? (GDK_BACKEND=x11/QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland)

Does running only insync start --no-daemon show the same error or a different one?

fabwu · June 24, 2021, 6:20am

Hi @Kurt_Ko

Here’s the output of insync start --no-daemon without the extra env variables:

Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

(insync:2907): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 08:13:29.329: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings' does not contain a key named 'antialiasing'

clautercarlos · June 28, 2021, 6:22pm

GDK_BACKEND=x11 insync start Works!.
I can see the icon and handle the window. However, don’ t start with the system.

Kurt_Ko · June 30, 2021, 4:34am

Hi @clautercarlos

For the setting to be enabled on startup, modify these 2 files ~/.config/autostart/insync.desktop
and /usr/share/applications/insync.desktop. Change the line Exec=insync start to Exec=env GDK_BACKEND=x11 insync start

Kurt_Ko · June 30, 2021, 4:35am

Hi @fabwu

Do you have a GPU? If so which drivers are you using with it? Does running QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-gpu" insync start --no-daemon fix the crash issue?

fabwu · July 13, 2021, 5:30am

Hi @Kurt_Ko

Yes, I have a GPU that runs with the nouveau driver.

I tried your command but insync still crashes with the same antialiasing error.

fabwu · July 14, 2021, 4:45pm

Hi @Kurt_Ko

Today I’ve got an update for gnome-shell 40.3, and now Insync starts without any errors.

Autostart still doesn’t work, but I create a separate topic for this problem.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Starting insync with systemd didn’t work but using Gnome Autostart does work so all problems are fixed
