New Insync version: 3.0.28

Thank you!

Finally a useful, to the point reply and advice.

I shall wait for 3.0.30 or later then.

Sad to see all these issues, really

i really appreciate the feedback and yeah it sucks but the good news: we are focused on issues + headless.

we are listening :pray:t4:

unable to download from http://yum.insync.io repo VERY SLOW

  1. I have my current insync install(s) 3.0.27 (Ubuntu Bionic / Deb Buster) set up the way I want and they are working.
    a. If its not broke don’t “fix” it?
    b. When / if upgrade will I have to reset everything … on 3 different machines all running different distros
  2. 1/29/2020 8:45a EST 3.0.28 does not show up* the Bionic repo at this time.
    a. Wait?
    *after running sudo apt update
  3. What happens if I run the new 3.0.28 .deb(s)? … over current installation(s)?

Thx

Getting this error and can’t seem to “clear” it. How do I clear this issue?

Hi @Andre_Verwijs,

This version is not yet available in the Linux repo, but we’ll put it up as soon as we release the update in our downloads page. :slight_smile: In the meantime, you may download the builds we linked above. Let me know if you’re having trouble with that.

Hi @rrhobbs,

This is not yet available in our Linux repositories but we’ll update it as soon as the build can be released in our downloads page. :slight_smile: When you update, you won’t have to reset everything. You just need to quit your current version and install the latest.

Hi @Andor_Kiss,

This is currently being worked on by our engineers. We’ll update all affected users as soon as the fix is available.

miamoran: is this the long file name issue, or a different issue?

Using the Ubuntu 18.04 version worked well and resolved the 416 error on Ubuntu 19.10.

Wierd, I have not problem running it after upgrade on my Fedora 31, although I’m on KDE Spin, but shouldn’t make a difference.

Hi! It’s a different issue from what @Andor_Kiss has posted here.

Does this include any fix to the memory leak on OSX? If not, is there an estimate which version (i.e. 29 or 30?) that will have that fix?

Hi @inforr,

This build doesn’t have the fix yet, but the initial workaround will be available in 3.0.29 :slight_smile:

Thank you to all Insync engineers! Yay, I can start using it again on Debian now :slight_smile:

@Pierre_Cornier Awesome. Thank you for waiting patiently!!

I’ve been experiencing issues on Debian buster since the v3 upgrade.

The GUI seems to freeze when there is a sync in progress.
The taskbar icon is stuck on blue syncing status even though there is nothing that got modified.
Sometimes files get stuck in upload.
Scrolling on certain screens is locked up.
Closing the application windows is unresponsive on first click when sync is in progress.

So I’ve rolled back to the 1.5.7. I’m afraid version v3 brought few new features and plenty breakage. I prefer to have stable, boring applications.

Please clean up your game.

Hi @Zelmor,

Thank you for writing about your experience and my apologies for the experience.

Do you mind sending your logs to support@insynchq.com with the link to this post? Can you recall if it was a large sync at the time the issues started?

Hey there,

No logs since I purged the install. Sorry, should have thought ahead, but I’m currently ill.
After the rollback the client downloaded a bunch of things, apparently they were moved to a shared folder on my drive by my wife. These files didn’t sync previously.

Can you recall if it was a large sync at the time the issues started?

I occasionally archive webpages with wget. File count can be large, but size is usually sub 100MB.

In general, something is locking up the UI in v3, making it unresponsive. Clicking the pause sync button doesn’t always work on first try.

There is still one major bug. Can you please clarify if you are even aware of it?
Insync does still not reliably sync all files to the local directory between multiple computers. Not even root directory but right within already synced folders. I continuously have to manually open the Insync App and browse to a sub-folder where I know more files are present in Drive than locally are available. Miraculously the app suddenly recognizes the missing files and loads them. Working without a client is almost as practical as with Insync as I do not always 100% remember which of the thousands of files are omitted. Persists since a long time sadly.

Not sure if only Shared drives or private and shared. Mostly using shared drives at work.
