Hello,
using Fedora Insync suddenly stopped starting automatically after login. Does anyone have the same problem?
Thanks
Tom
Yes, in fact I was about to post about this same issue. I’m on Fedora 34 and have to start insync-headless manually every time I log in. I use the KDE desktop and putting ‘insync-headless start’ in the Autostart configuration does not work.

In your case it could be a KDE setting, have you tried setting the settings to start with an empty session?
Greetings.
The problem is that the KDE Autostart dialogue doesn’t appear to allow arguments to startup commands. You just fill in the name of the program. One workaround would be presumably to use a script (I haven’t tried it yet), but it shouldn’t really be necessary for the user to come up with this. There’s been some discussion elsewhere about creating a systemd unit for these cases, but that’s even more burdensome for the average user. See for example:
and

Hey all! Let me forward this to our Linux team. Can you share your Insync versions here please, regardless it’s the GUI or headless version?
Thank you!!
3.5.0.50109 on Fedora 34 KDE with KDE Plasma 5.22.4

Can you confirm if the startup setting is checked when you hover on the 3 dots on the upper right (. . .) > Preferences > App settings?
Hi everyone,
yes, I have “Start Insync on login” checked and also I have Insync listed in automatic launch setting in KDE setup…
Still no automatic lauch after KDE login.
I have Fedora 34 KDE with KDE Plasma 5.22.4, using Insyng 3.5.1.50115.
Gotcha, seems to be the pattern that it’s affecting Fedora users on KDE. I’ve notified our engineers so we can investigate this further and provide a fix as soon as possible!
While insync-headless is running, can you run the following command?
insync-headless config run_on_startup true
Let us know if it works
Well I don’t have insync-headless installed. I use insync instead.
Adding in a quick “me too!” here; I’ve been manually starting insync for some time now (months) under the latest KDE on Fedora 34.

This is a known issue and our engineers have created a bug report to line this up for a fix. I’ll update this thread as soon as the build is available!

I’ve managed to work around this with a user systemd service file and a delayed start. It’s a bit of a hack, but useful until a real fix arrives:
# ${HOME}/.config/systemd/user/insync.service
[Unit]
Description=Insync
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 10
ExecStart=/usr/bin/insync start
RestartSec=3
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
For reference, without the ExecStartPre, the unit fails with
Process 3708 (insync) of user 1000 dumped core.

Thank you for this, @Achilleas! I have sent the workaround to our Linux team so we can reference to that when deploying a fix to the issue.

Has this been resolved yet? I think it also happens to me too.
Not yet… Using Fedora 35 now and every computer start I have to think not to forget to launch Insync manually 
Hi all, we are following this up with our Linux team. 
Thank you!
Same issue on Fedora 35 Silverblue Gnome.
The solution posted by @Achilleas followed by:
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now insync
got it working for me.

Yes, the systemd.service file also solves this for me on Kubuntu 21.10.
It is a pity Insync does not use systemd natively, it could take care of it restarting automatically if it ever fails (and it seems to be more reliable than whatever Insync is doing now).
