Ok, I´ve tried the following again.

 

When I boot with

btsync debug 0000

There is no process starting.

 

Executing this after this boot:

pgrep -u $(id -u) -f btsyncindicator.py

Gives no number.

 

The file ~./btsync/debug.txt was created with the boot timestamp.

The logfile ~./btsync-user.log was unchanged! (timestamp from before the boot)

 

 

Now: when I boot with:

btsync start

The following is noticed:

pgrep -u $(id -u) -f btsyncindicator.py

It gives a pid nr. So it is running but with an exclamation mark.

 

The logfile ~./btsync-user.log changed. The following text was added.

2014-02-19 08:38:09+01:00 User specific files and directories created2014-02-19 08:38:10+01:00 start_frontend: begin2014-02-19 08:38:10+01:00 start_frontend: starting frontend with default config file /home/eric/.config/btsync/btsync-auto.conf2014-02-19 08:38:10+01:00 start_frontend: end2014-02-19 08:38:10+01:00 btsync-starter: btsync-agent paused

Next thing I tried was starting with the little script I made:

#!/bin/sh/usr/lib/btsync-user/btsync-startersleep 10/usr/lib/btsync-user/btsync-stopper sleep 10btsync start

Then the indicator shows a normal status.

To the logfile was added (I selected the debugging option in the indicator):

2014-02-19 08:32:33+01:00 User specific files and directories created2014-02-19 08:32:33+01:00 start_frontend: begin2014-02-19 08:32:33+01:00 start_frontend: starting frontend with default config file /home/eric/.config/btsync/btsync-auto.conf2014-02-19 08:32:33+01:00 start_frontend: end2014-02-19 08:32:33+01:00 btsync-starter: btsync-agent paused2014-02-19 08:32:54+01:00 User specific files and directories created2014-02-19 08:32:54+01:00 start_frontend: begin2014-02-19 08:32:54+01:00 start_frontend: starting frontend with default config file /home/eric/.config/btsync/btsync-auto.conf2014-02-19 08:32:54+01:00 start_frontend: end2014-02-19 08:32:54+01:00 btsync-starter: forking runner...2014-02-19 08:32:54+01:00 btsync-starter: end2014-02-19 08:32:54+01:00 agent_runner: begin2014-02-19 08:32:54+01:00 agent_runner: starting up components...2014-02-19 08:32:54+01:00 User specific files and directories created2014-02-19 08:32:54+01:00 start_frontend: begin2014-02-19 08:32:54+01:00 start_frontend: end2014-02-19 08:32:54+01:00 start_agent: begin2014-02-19 08:32:54+01:00 start_agent: starting agent with default config file /home/eric/.config/btsync/btsync-auto.conf

Last thing:

When I boot with btsync debug 0000, nothing happened as said before.

But when I open a terminal and to manually execute:

btsync start

The indicator shows up with this exclamation mark.

In the terminal the following text is looping:

WARNING:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:Retrying (0 attempts remain) after connection broken by 'error(111, 'Connection refused')': /gui/token.html?t=1392797019.99WARNING:root:Connection Error caught, displaying error messageWARNING:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:Retrying (0 attempts remain) after connection broken by 'error(111, 'Connection refused')': /gui/token.html?t=1392797022.0WARNING:root:Connection Error caught, displaying error messageWARNING:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:Retrying (0 attempts remain) after connection broken by 'error(111, 'Connection refused')': /gui/token.html?t=1392797024.0WARNING:root:Connection Error caught, displaying error messageetc...

Then I end the process and execute btsync start in the same terminal. Everything is fine then.

I just released version 1.13.1-1 of btsync-user. This version contains the promised logging for the wrapper script that coordinates the launch and runtime of btsync.

 

I would kindly ask those of you experiencing the problems reported during the startup phase, to activate logging by issuing the command

 

btsync debug 0000

 

It does not matter, which debug flags you specify (0000 to FFFF) - as soon as logging is activated, the startup script logs everything. The logging facility creates the logfile

 

~/.btsync/btsync-user.log

 

If you encounter the forementioned problems (mainly startup problems after first boot), please post here the relevant part of the log file. TNX!!!!

 

 

There was this in the btsync-user.log (after booting with btsync debug 0000):

2014-02-18 10:55:22+01:00 User specific files and directories created2014-02-18 10:55:22+01:00 start_frontend: begin2014-02-18 10:55:22+01:00 start_frontend: starting frontend with default config file /home/eric/.config/btsync/btsync-auto.conf2014-02-18 10:55:22+01:00 start_frontend: end2014-02-18 10:55:22+01:00 btsync-starter: btsync-agent paused

So nothing special, it was paused. But btsync indicator didn´t show up on my ubuntu 12.04.

After starting manually with btsync start. nothing changed in the log. 

But the following showed up in the terminal:

WARNING:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:Retrying (0 attempts remain) after connection broken by 'error(111, 'Connection refused')': /gui/token.html?t=1392717328.94WARNING:root:Connection Error caught, displaying error message

Then exit btsync again and restarted. Then works fine after the restart.

 

Hope this helps.

I have the same startup problem in Ubuntu 12.04.

Until this is solved, I´ve made a temporarily poor man´s workaround script which seems to work for me.

Run this script on boot with Ubuntu´s "Startup Applications" (Also deactivate for the time the regular Btsync boot/start command in  "Startup Applications" )

#!/bin/sh/usr/lib/btsync-user/btsync-startersleep 10/usr/lib/btsync-user/btsync-stopper sleep 10btsync start
