[SOLVED] Getting Insync to work

Postby pnbalaji » Dec 8th, '18, 14:44

Hi,

I re-installed Mageia 6.1 on my desktop and I am in the process of setting up the system.

I am licensed owner of Insync and have been running in other linux distros. Since I switched to Mageia, I downloaded Insync and trying to setup. However, when I run the command "insync start", I am getting the below errors.

Code: Select all
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 6, in <module>
  File "__main__.py", line 128, in <module>
  File "__main__insync__.py", line 125, in <module>
  File "isyncd/linux/headless/cli.py", line 49, in run
  File "__main__insync__.py", line 30, in main
  File "ctypes/__init__.py", line 361, in __init__
OSError: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by /usr/lib/insync/libexpat.so.1)


Can someone help?

Thanks,
Balaji.

That version of insync seems to require glibc 2.25 where mga6 only has 2.22 - you could test if it it runs under cauldron.

I see that Mageia Cauldron is using GLIBC 2.28. However, I am little hesitant to use the development version of the OS as my daily driver.

Thanks,
Balaji.

If you don't want to run cauldron, then take this up with the vendor. There are various forum threads there requesting insync releases which are compatible/built against glibc 2.22 ...

Thanks for the response. I am following up with the vendor. Let me see what they say. I am even okay with running an older version of Insync as long as the two way sync runs fine.

Thanks,
Balaji.

May I know which version of GLIBC is shipping with Mageia 7 beta? I could not find it from the release notes. If it ships with a GLIBC version > 2.25, I can try Mageia 7 instead of Cauldron.

Thanks,
Balaji.

Mageia 7 is Cauldron and will be until final release.

I ended up downloading an older version of Insync (Insync 1.3.16.36155-fc25.x86_64.rpm) to get it working. Apparently, it seems to be using the older version of GLIBC and the sync is working perfectly fine.
