insync no longer starts on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial).

I don’t have permission to delete the topic even though I created it so I am just replying. After filing this I found another thread with the same problem and with a solution that worked. See [After upgrade from 1.4.9 to 1.5.1, Insync fails to start]

Hey @le_avion,

Good to know you were able to find a solution! :slight_smile:
