Hi Dennis,

I've created an issue:

http://issues.liferay.com/browse/SYNC-823

Thanks very much!

[Thiago Leão Moreira, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

That's great! I'm using mac nowadays but this announcement is another stimulus to switch back to Linux.

[Brian Gormanly, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

Added my own jira : http://issues.liferay.com/browse/SYNC-825
It did not seem related to Juan's.

Thanks again,

Hi,

1. Upon first start: I receive:
13 Mar 2013 16:52:10,350 ERROR [PropertiesWindowHandler:107] Unsupported operating system
java.io.IOException: Unsupported operating system
at com.liferay.sync.gui.desktop.util.DesktopUtil.getApplicationPath(DesktopUtil.java:68)

Ubuntu 12.04 64bit - 3.2.0-38-generic

2. I experience the uploading issue as well. [JSONWebServiceServiceAction:114]
3. After the first setup there is no GUI way to modify the settings.
4. There is no GUI way to stop the service.
5. I think it would be a quite basic feature to have a checkbox to launch sync upon opsystem startup

Shall I open a ticket in Jira or the posts are fine here?

Cheers, Adam

So I just tested the beta on Ubuntu 64-bit, and it seems the tray icon doesn't appear on the 64-bit version of Ubuntu (works fine in 32-bit). The "Unsupported operating system" error relates to the checkbox to launch Sync on startup. We haven't yet implemented a "start on launch" option for Linux (particularly since different distros handle it differently).

We'll need to research why the tray item doesn't appear on Ubuntu 64-bit (it's most likely specific to Unity).

I take that back. I forgot I had to add Sync to the system try whitelist for Ubuntu. Please see instructions here: link

Just wanted to drop in to say that the new version is running great for me so far. Thanks for getting a fix out so quickly!

I ran into an issue on my Mint (LMDE) machine
JIRA created: http://issues.liferay.com/browse/SYNC-842

[Thomas Choy, geändert vor 10 Jahren.]

I have used Liferay Sync on Linux and this working properly. However, if local directory is a symbolic link, then Liferay Sync seems ignoring this.

Any chance we can make Liferay Sync to follow symbol link (and avoid looping for sure) as this is very useful, thanks.

[Dennis Ju, geändert vor 10 Jahren.]

Hi James,

You can uninstall on Ubuntu calling "sudo apt-get remove liferaysync".

Hi Thomas,

Can you elaborate on your use case for using symlinks?

Thanks,
Dennis

[Thomas Choy, geändert vor 10 Jahren.]

Dear Dennis,

Thanks for asking. I have one Liferay site and one document server. There are about 100 directories in document server but I only need to sync 30 of these directories to Liferay. In order to select those 30 directories, I have created 30 symbolic link inside liferay-sync/portal to link to their destinations. However Liferay Sync just ignore those symbol link (I have checked the security level and it is ok).

On the other hand, if I create a symbol link for liferay-sync so that the liferay-sync/portal directory is already jumped to symbolic link, Liferay Sync can work properly. However, I cannot selectively sync those directories I want.

Thanks for help in advance.

Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I can see the use case for allowing symlinking, but we will need to continue evaluating the feature. Some concerns are 1) it opens the ability to sync entire hard drives by symlinking to a root folder which can be overly taxing on Sync, 2) Windows can't benefit from symlinking, 3) future integration with Finder/Nautilus can present UX challenges.

[Dennis Ju, geändert vor 9 Jahren.]

Hi Dominique,

I think I know what the issue is. Can you zip up and send me your logs found in ~/.liferay-sync/logs so I can confirm the issue? You can email me at [e-mail]
