For deb version, I have: libjsoncpp25:amd64 (1.9.5-6build1) ... libsodium-dev:amd64 (1.0.18-1build3) ... s3drive (1.9.12) ...

The .deb app shows up in the Linux Mint menu, but when clicked does nothing. The AppImage runs, but will not start on Startup and some settings aren't saved. Also, mounting doesn't happen auto-magically, I have to umount the fuse mount before the app starts again or there's an error.

Hi Jacob, thanks for purchasing the Ultimate and for your feedback. Can you please let me know if there is any error you get on startup for either .deb, AppImage of Flatpak?
Avatar
no errors for .deb package, just doesn't run
Avatar
Right, I see, speaking of .deb, can you please try starting from the CLI instead of of the menu? In that case you shall be able to get some output.

AppImage gives "Gtk-Message: 04:17:13.200: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"" but no other errors i see. but it wont run at startup

for the .deb, what is the cli command to run?

It should be: /usr/local/lib/s3drive/kapsa , at least that's Ubuntu path. (edited)

/usr/local/lib/s3drive/kapsa: error while loading shared libraries: libmpv.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You will probably need to install MPV libraries (that's required for media play-out). https://s3drive.app/faq?q=linux_mpv For Ubuntu 23.04+: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y libmpv2

Regarding startup issue, what's your OS version exactly? We know that it wasn't working on some Linuxes, but Debian/Ubuntu shall work fine. If that's not the case we'll need to retest on specific version and apply the fix.

libmpv2 is already the newest version (0.37.0-1ubuntu4)

works on the .deb now, but wont save the launch on startup option

neither will the AppImage

We haven't tested exactly on Mint. It seems to more and more users use Mint, we may have to prioritise adjusting S3Drive, so it's all compatible. Despite this OS being Debian family, it seems there are actually lots of differences. Finally, you've mentioned that some settings haven't persisted on your AppImage release. Do they persist in the .deb that just started? What settings do you refer to? Are these login credentials?
Avatar
so both the deb (with fixes) and AppImage will run now, buckets persist, but it wont save the launch on startup option and mounting is weird- on exiting the app the mounts remain, and you have to manually umount them or the option for mounting on startup fails

Well, thanks for this feedback! These issues (mount unmount and startup problems) are unfortunately current state that we'll aim to fix within next couple weeks. We'll certainly need ourselves set up with Mint and do proper app testing, as that's something we've never done. If you're willing to wait a bit that's great. If you find it a deal breaker we would be willing to issue you a refund.

Quick question, you've mentioned that Flathub doesn't work for you as well? We know that some users actually ran it (https://flathub.org/apps/io.kapsa.drive) on Mint successfully. https://discord.com/channels/1069654792902815845/1268291080244170844 Usually there were some issues around the libsecret.
Avatar
and as for the not saving the autorun option? i guess just call the cli as a startup app? why isn't there a clean way to exit the app?

We use cross-platform technology, so we have one client, single codebase that we release on all platforms using some frameworks, libraries. That helps us a lot to deliver single user experience to all devices, but sometimes platform specific tricks are required and in some cases obvious things are not that simple to achieve. (edited)

Understood. I'll try the flatpak again and look for the libsecret issues online later. going to bed... 🙂

Hi there, I run linux mint 22 and autostart works for me. Will check tomorrow what package I have installed (flatpack or deb) I also had autostart setting not saving, somewhere should be support thread, will try to find

I am running flatpack on linux mint 22. Autostart works fine. although in the settings it still showing that it is not enabled
7:29 AM
or it could be that I added it to autostart appication list on linux mint:
7:30 AM
only annoying this is, that app does not minimize / close to system try.
