Tuxpoldo, thank you very much for all your work. I must using btsync-user and now btsync-gui is really nice. I have a question, I am running xubuntu 12.04 (will be upgrading to 14.04 sometime in July) and btsync-gui works well when I physically log in to the computer. When I log out, btysnc-gui usually remains active in the background - I can connect to it from other computers and sync files. I really like this behaviour because it eliminates the need for me to setup a server. However in the last couple of days I have noticed that it is not running and I have noticed this from work when I try to sync files. Is there a way to start btsync-gui so that it runs in the background from an ssh terminal? If I execute btsync-gui I get the following message: $ btsync-gui Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/btsync-gui", line 30, in <module> from btsyncguiapp import GuiApp File "/usr/lib/btsync-gui/btsyncguiapp.py", line 35, in <module> from gi.repository import Gtk File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/importer.py", line 76, in load_module dynamic_module._load() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/module.py", line 224, in _load overrides_modules = __import__('gi.overrides', fromlist=[self._namespace]) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py", line 1533, in <module> raise RuntimeError("Gtk couldn't be initialized") RuntimeError: Gtk couldn't be initialized Which I would expect as there is no x server running. With btsync-user, it would give a similar error but would start btsync so that I could use it remotely. Should I look at setting up the btsync as a server? I really don't need one, I use my linux box at home as a regular computer. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated. UPDATE: Upon closer examination it seems to be working as expected on my linux box. I am able to connect to it using my personal laptop (win 8.1) over the wireless at work. I just can't see it with my work laptop (win 7 also connected to the wireless). My personal laptop can see both the work laptop and the linux box at home. I don't believe it is a btsync-gui issue but rather a network or firewall issue.
