iswrong Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Also had issues, but somehow I can start only directly now, not anymore via "sudo service btsync" :-( Would you mind posting your configuration?//!/usr/lib/btsync/btsync-daemon --config{ "storage_path" : "/iomega/btsync-aux/daniel", "display_new_version": false, "disk_low_priority" : true, "lan_encrypt_data" : true, "rate_limit_local_peers" : false, "folder_rescan_interval" : 600, "folder_defaults.delete_to_trash" : true, "folder_defaults.use_lan_broadcast" : true, "folder_defaults.use_relay" : true, "folder_defaults.use_tracker" : true, "sync_trash_ttl" : 365, "folder_defaults.known_hosts" : "", "use_upnp" : false, "webui" : { "directory_root" : "/iomega/btsync/daniel", "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888", "force_https" : true, "ssl_certificate" : "/home/daniel/.sync/daniel.crt", "ssl_private_key" : "/home/daniel/.sync/daniel.key" }}While at it, my systemd unit file (/etc/systemd/system/btsync@.service)[Unit]Description=BitTorrent Sync for %i[Service]Type=simpleUser=%iExecStart=/opt/btsync/btsync --nodaemon --config /home/%i/.sync/sync.confWorkingDirectory=/home/%iRestart=always[Install]WantedBy=multi-user.targetAs you can see from this setup, the configuration is expected in a user's home directory under .sync/sync.conf . This allows a per-user BTSync setup. Also, if the daemon fails for some reason (in the past it crashed every once in a while), it is automatically restarted. I can restart the instance of user 'daniel' with:sudo systemctl restart btsync@daniel.serviceThe service for this particular user can be started at every boot using:sudo systemctl enable btsync@daniel.service(The nice thing about this setup is that multiple persons can have a BTSync instance on one server, but everything is automatically started and monitored using systemd.)

GreatMarko Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 When I use the link in the app to "upgrade to pro" I'm taken to a license screen that still shows $39.99 / year. @hungarianhc, What URL are you taken to, as the current purchase screen looks like this: ...it's only $39.99/year for "Pro Teams", whereas "Pro Individual" is just $39.99 (one time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungarianhc Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 See the attached image. This is what I get when I click "Upgrade to Pro" within the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjmsullivan Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 @RomanZ et al.: Thank you. You all have done great work. As others have discussed, I am also really happy with the new licensing structure. I will bring up BTSync at my employer's next meeting.

chrisvdb Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 It seems that some configuration file keys have changed, e.g.: folder_defaults.use_dht Run btsync directly to see the errors. Simply removing that configuration key worked for me. Since the PPA seems to be abandoned indeed, maybe I should post my nice systemd multi-user BTSync configuration . So, tried running btsync directly and didn't get an error message at all... so the problem seems to be with the startup script. I'll do a bit of digging over the weekend.

kometchtech Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) following such error message when you run on linux x64 is output. ubuntu 12.04.3, if you use the start-stop-daemon. it is an error.[18:35:49.985] assert failed /mnt/jenkins/workspace/Build-Sync-x64/btlog.cpp:272assert failed /mnt/jenkins/workspace/Build-Sync-x64/btlog.cpp:272 (33685504) Edited September 11, 2015 by kometchtech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 So, tried running btsync directly and didn't get an error message at all... so the problem seems to be with the startup script. I'll do a bit of digging over the weekend. Try to run it in --no-daemon mode this should print out all info on the command line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 @eldrinManaged to reproduce. Issue is that Sync FREE does not download files from MD folder - and license as well. We'll fix it, for now simply apply license to other peers manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldrin Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 @RomanZ, thanks for the update, I'll go ahead and import the license on the other 3 computers. I noticed that the email I received after purchasing came with a license file attached, but there was also a link in the email to download the license. After clicking the link in the email and downloading the file, I compared it to the license file that had been attached to the email. The contents were slightly different. I then tried clicking the link again to download another copy of the license file. Again the contents of the file were slightly different. Is it expected that downloading my license 3 times (twice from the link and once from the email itself) should result in 3 slightly different license files? I only kept the one that was attached to the email, and used that on my primary computer. Presumably I should use that same file on the other 3 computers?

RomanZ Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 @eldrinYou should get all 3 files the same. Could you please send all diffrerent ones that you get to me? I'll take a look what exactly is different. Send them via support page, mention that ticket goes to me. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll fix it, for now simply apply license to other peers manually.While waiting for your answer about the differing license files, I haven't taken any manual action yet. But I see that a little while ago, all 3 of those FREE peers updated themselves to PRO status. How is this possible? How has this problem just resolved on its own without any changes to the client?

Moe Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Eldrin: I would now re-send the debug logs to the Support Technician so they can take a look. The log file should have that information in it. If you can fetch those from all clients that are affected that would def help them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 eldrin,Replied in ticket referring to the 3 different keys. But I see that a little while ago, all 3 of those FREE peers updated themselves to PRO status. How is this possible? How has this problem just resolved on its own without any changes to the client?magic actually it could take a while for the licences to get synced, perhaps it got stuck due to a reason. Didn't you even restart Sync on either of them? Yes, if you still have logs, please do send them to the support using the ticket you have opened about the license keys.

eldrin Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 @Helen, thanks, I received the reply to my ticket concerning the differences in the license files. Concerning the propagation of the license to my other computers: As per my discussion with RomanZ there was a very long period of time (more than a day) where the license didn't propagate. Today RomanZ confirmed that a bug in the Free client causes it not to download the license. And it was only after RomanZ confirm this that I saw the remaining Free peers updates themselves somehow to Pro. So it seems strange to me that even though there's a confirmed bug where the Free clients don't automatically obtain the license, they somehow resolved the issue on their own, but only today. The only action I had taken today was to add a single file to my only synced folder. Before that, for several weeks, there was no activity (i.e. no changes) to anything in my synced folder. So maybe adding this single file today spurred those remaining peers into action. Perhaps the test that you can do on your side is to check whether downloading of the license only happens when there is some other activity for the client to do, i.e. maybe the propagation of the license doesn't occur automatically in isolation.

Helen Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 eldrin, Yeah, there was a glitch with license propagation, fixed already. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
