Recommended Posts

Well i have an ubuntu server and i had installed the version 1.4

 

i used this ppa to install the software

https://launchpad.net/~tuxpoldo/+archive/ubuntu/btsync

 

 

but now i had some problem with some files that i'm downloading, I'm not sure it is a problem of btsync but I try to solve it from diferents ways and this is i think 1 of the lasts steps.

 

I want to UPGRADE TO 2.0 version

 

i used this guide and everything go good

http://www.yeasoft.com/site/projects:btsync-deb:btsync-server

 

but in the WEB UI and DESKTOP CLIENT the server appears as 1.4

trying to solve it i REMOVE THE PACKAGE and then i install it again, but 1.4 still appears, here is a log from the last installation

there appears btsync-core and btsync with 2.0 version

 

but i have some questions:

 

 

https://launchpad.net/~tuxpoldo/+archive/ubuntu/btsync

Here in the ppa there are a lot of packages with versions

btsync 2.0.0-2

btsync-common 1.4.111-1

btsync-core 2.0.93-1

btsync-gui 0.8.5-1

btsync-user 1.16.0-1

 

 

I thinks i hav btsync 2.0 and btsync-core 2.0 too but what's is btsync-common??

and why in the clients appears the 1.4 version ??

 

 

Client connected to my server.

Another thing, Mac Lucas is my client not the server, i don't know why that is the name of the server in preferences of the server WEB UI

And there appears the version 2.0.93 like i installed with the ppa with btsync-core but why the folder appears 1.4?

http://www.subeimagenes.com/img/screen-shot-2015-10-21-at-1-45-15-am-1494594.html

 

 

Thanks for the help.

>why that is the name of the server in preferences of the server WEB UI

it's taken after you computer name - smth that you'll see after executing "hostname" command 

 

>why the folder appears 1.4?
these are the folders that were in Sync before you updated to Sync 2.x. The difference between folder v1.4 and folder v.2.x is pretty significant, so these are distinguished. 

 

I'm not sure what Leo Moll meant by btsync-common, rather ask him. But it looks like he no longer supports his packages. 

So you could use latest Linux binaries

I don't know how to use binaries.

I wish you create a PPA.

You need to re-add them to Sync. Note that in Sync v2.2. in Free version only standard 1.4 folder can be added. To add advanced 2.x folder you need Pro. 

You can find information on updating the package to 2.2 on this page  Also, as far as I understood, Silvenga has created his own PPA, on same page there is a link to it.

Reco-X,

 

You mean replace the binary? 

You can do that in the file explorer. If just replacing doesn't help, you might need to edit the package's configs, as per this post  and you can do that both - via text editor or command line (you might need write permissions to edit those files). Or if you pick to use Silvenga's package, you will need to follow his instructions.
