Updated OneDrive client to 2.5. Updated OneDriveGUI to 1.1 . Problem on 1.1 GUI startup

[cliverlong-1961]

I am running Ubuntu 22.04 and was successfully running the OneDrive client with OneDriveGUI

I saw a prompt to update OneDrive client so I updated to 2.5

See:

onedrive --version
onedrive v2.5.0-1+np2+2.1

When I ran

onedrive --display-config

I received following response

D-Bus message bus daemon is available; GUI notifications are now enabled
Reading configuration file: /home/clive/.config/onedrive/config
Invalid value for key in config file - using default value: log_dir

Invalid value for key in config file: drive_id

The maintainer of OneDrive client advised me to update OneDriveGUI and there is a note to that effect here

Warning

OneDriveGUI v1.1.0 is only compatible with OneDrive client v2.5.0 . There is no backward compatibility with older OneDrive client versions. Please use OneDriveGUI v1.0.3 for OneDrive client v2.4.x .

So I followed the installation instructions for OneDriveGUI here.

When I boot Ubuntu I see the OneDrive cloud in the top (status?) line of the display. When I make changes to the OneDrive folder on Linux or any device connected to the OneDrive folder, this is not synchronised across all devices.

I stop the OneDrive GUI by right-clicking on the cloud icon then issue following commands from within OneDriveGUI folder on Ubuntu

cd src
cd OneDriveGUI
python3 OneDriveGUI.py

and get following error messages

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/clive/OneDriveGUI/src/OneDriveGUI.py", line 65, in

from PySide6.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView
ImportError: libshiboken6.abi3.so.6.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have searched for the ImportError message but haven't been able to work out how that relates to my problem starting OneDriveGUI.

Any help to get OneDrive and OneDriveGUI working on my Ubunut system is appreciated.

Based on the traceback, you are running some old version of the GUI code for some reason. This was removed months ago. Just clone the latest code from github to fix the issue.

Or better yet, simply use the AppImage, which contains all necessary Python and QT dependencies.

Hello,

Thank-you for you very prompt reply.

I am running a synchronisation of my onedrive folder very the command-line using

onedrive -s

as described here

That is running.

When I installed OneDriveGUI from the AppImage, I had the AppImage on my desktop and it created a OneDriveGUI folder with sub-folders : docs, scripts, src and other files.

I renamed the existing OneDriveGUI folder in my home directory to OneDriveGUI_old and copied/moved he desktop version of the OneDriveGUI folder into my home directory.

I navigated to the new ~/OneDriveGUI folder

executed

cd src

python3 OneDriveGUI.py

and received messages

I have run a OneDrive resync from command line using

onedrive --sync --resync

And I recognise the files and folders being downloaded from OneDrive. The initial messages displayed are:

D-Bus message bus daemon is available; GUI notifications are now enabled

The usage of --resync will delete your local 'onedrive' client state, thus no record of your current 'sync status' will exist.
This has the potential to overwrite local versions of files with perhaps older versions of documents downloaded from OneDrive, resulting in local data loss.
If in doubt, backup your local data before using --resync

Are you sure you wish to proceed with --resync? [Y/N] Y

I have downloaded the AppImage again, made it executable and rerun it. I get similar error messages again.

It clearly says your config file /home/clive/.config/onedrive/accounts/cliverlong/config does not exist.

Did you check if it does? If so, share the output of
cat /home/clive/.config/onedrive/accounts/cliverlong/config.

Based on your previous command, the config is in the default location /home/clive/.config/onedrive/config. If so, just delete the directory /home/clive/.config/onedrive-gui/ , start the GUI again and import your profile config properly.

I had resynched my OneDrive fodler overnight by issuing a --resync --sync command line to the OneDrive client. All my OneDrive folder contents downloaded except for a few files.

/home/clive/.config/onedrive/config did not exist but /home/clive/.config/onedrive-gui/ did exist. This folder contained

I deleted /home/clive/.config/onedrive-gui/ as you suggested, reran Python3 OneDriveGUI.py which started up and ran through the authorization with my OneDrive personal account.

Following was created

clive@MacPro-Linux:~/.config/onedrive/accounts/crlong_personal$ ls
config items.sqlite3 items.sqlite3-wal sync_list
config_backup items.sqlite3-shm refresh_token

After successfully starting and configuring OneDriveGUI, I tested a few folder creations and deletes on the linux system and another device with OneDrive client. First few folders successfully synchronized on creation or deletion on either system.

This is very good progress.

However, synchronization seemed to stop. I started adjusting some of the settings through OneDriveGUI and I currently have:

clive@MacPro-Linux:~/.config/onedrive/accounts/crlong_personal$ cat config
sync_dir = "/home/clive/OneDrive"
monitor_interval = "30"
enable_logging = "true"

I need to look at logs on both OneDriveGUI and OneDrive clients to see if there is something in my setup/configuration that i not detecting and triggering file/folder synchronization.

But overall, with your detailed help, very good progress.

Thanks
