Tagging our engineer @Kurt_Ko for further assistance!

Just posting to confirm that I get exactly the same error message with Mint 19.1. Up through Mint 19, insync-nemo worked fine.

[mia]

I have escalated this to our engineers and they’re currently working on the issue. We’ll make sure to update all affected users as soon as the fix has been deployed!

[mia]

Hi @Tobias_Schneck and @jpcusumano! Could you please run python --version and send the output here?

[Tobias_Schneck]

@mia sure.

$ python --version
Python 2.7.15rc1

[jpcusumano]

$ python --version
Python 2.7.15rc1

I assume that’s what came with Mint 19.1?

[Tobias_Schneck]

yes:

I replaced the my file (10/5/16) with the text from pgmcgee, this fixed the problem.

The original insync-nemo-plugin.py file was installed by insync-nemo_1.3.12.36116-precise_all.deb.

Not sure it’s working perfectly, I only see the integration (to create to files for example) when right-clicking a folder or file. Nothing added to the menu when I right-click empty space below a folder in nemo.

[jpcusumano]

I haven’t given it an extensive workout, but I synched and unsynched a few things from the nemo context menu, and it seems to work!

Thanks, pgmgcee!

[Tobias_Schneck]

The code fixed the problem so far I can see it. Thx for the help! Will the fix also be part of the next release?

[jjap33]

Thanks a lot, it works! But a simple question : why not integrating this fix ASAP (= now) in the package?

[Ygor_Amaral]

It works for me. Thanks.

[marcelo.messias]

Great, it works. Thanks!

[Lukas_Pour]

It works for me, thanks!

[Michal_L]

Hallo Insync team. Are you going to solve the problem with nemo plugin? I know that there is workaround but Linux Mint is popular distribution and 19.1 version was released in December. Now there is the end of March and still there is no official solution.

[nikki]

Hi @Michal_L,

I completely understand your frustration on this.

Our Linux team is working hard on Insync 3 and may have overlooked this issue. I’ll let them know about this and see if there’s a fix we can deploy soon.

Thank you so much for the nudge on this, we appreciate it

[Tobias_Schneck]

It works now with the new version. But you need to download the debian package for nemo directly from the website https://www.insynchq.com/downloads

It would be good to include the package to the configured mint repo:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/insync.list
deb http://apt.insync.io/mint tina non-free contrib
