Switching sync folders for OneDrive/GDrive crashes Insync

Bugs and issues Linux
#1

NOTE: I am using the Debian Testing distribution (12.0 as of the time of writing).

Insync crashes when I try to switch the default local sync folder for OneDrive or Google Drive.

The relevant error log running with insync start --no-daemon --debug 1 and performing the sync directory switch operation throws the following:

[1]    203048 abort      insync start --no-daemon --debug 2

In short, it looks like gvfs is missing some gio library dependencies, which is sort of expected in a Testing environment this early. And GTK is throwing an error that it doesn’t find a certain image file, but I think the former may be the real problem. Plus, a lot of applications usually are packaged for Ubuntu rather than targeting Debian itself.

So, I’m not expecting that Insync works perfectly on Debian 12; that’s anticipated. However, can someone like myself get Insync packaged for Debian 11 and Debian 12? Right now I see that Debian 10 (Buster) is targeted, but a lot of core GUI app dependencies have breaking changes in Debian 11 and 12.

UPDATE: insync-headless is a good workaround to this problem if you don’t care that much about using the GUI.

@Brian_Thompson Hi! Could you let me know if you’re able to update your Insync packages? We’ve just released some additions, namely Debian bookworm/sid/testing on our repositories.

Let me know if you encounter any issues with these builds.

Additionally, if you could send over your logs.db and out.txt to support@insynchq.com with the link to this post, that would be great :slight_smile: Those 2 files are in ~/.config/Insync :slight_smile:

The bookworm package solved my issue. Thank you!
