Could this be related to SELinux?

According to your logs, command is run with the correct user.

I don't know for SuSE, but in Debian, there is a field to set the username under which the command should be run. Is "username" field of your cron file correctly set? # Example of job definition: # .---------------- minute (0 - 59) # | .------------- hour (0 - 23) # | | .---------- day of ...

BTW, I noticed that in the About dialog, only the last Show() must be kept. Having both leads to corruption in the dialog (at the location of the donation text + image)

I actually had the same problem with gtk LDFLAGS which are missing at link time, so I had to add them with LDFLAGS += `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0` Would you add them to the Makefile please? Error was: /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cc6adrRa.ltrans115.ltrans.o: undefined reference to symbol 'gtk_css_provider_load...

Since the file (zen/zlib_wrap.cpp) that uses it in your code base doesn't apparently depend on wx-widget neither on gtk, I thought it had to be present in the Makefile. But I could be wrong.

Thank you for your reply. Apparently on my system it is not: $ wx-config --libs std, aui, richtext --debug=no -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -pthread -lwx_gtk3u_aui-3.2 -lwx_gtk3u_richtext-3.2 -lwx_gtk3u_xrc-3.2 -lwx_gtk3u_html-3.2 -lwx_gtk3u_qa-3.2 -lwx_gtk3u_core-3.2 -lwx_baseu_xml-3.2 -lwx_baseu_net...

Hi Zenju, when trying to build freefilesync I noticed that the LDFLAGS for zlib are missing. May I suggest you to add these lines to your Makefile (both FFS & RFS). They could be placed near the equivalent lines for the other libraries. CXXFLAGS += `pkg-config --cflags zlib` LDFLAGS += `pkg-conf...

Dear Zenju, I have been investigating this a bit since I run on KDE, which caused trouble with gtk3 at the time of 12.1. Actually, I found that calling only Show() but not Hide() as code currently does since 12.1: - doesn't create the "freeze/hang" on KDE that appeared in 12.1 - fixes the ...

What about using one of these (as per Strategies for Exception Handling), for minimal exception handling?
- wxApp::OnExceptionInMainLoop()
- wxApp::OnUnhandledException()

tcw4950, you can find a package of FreeFileSync 13.3 for Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) on my PPA.

Hmm 20.04 (focal) you said? Hmm... Sorry I wrote for 22.04 (jammy). But the process would be the same.
By the way, for jammy, there is 13.1 on a PPA.

You can start from this page , the bottom of which you have "Other versions of 'freefilesync' in untrusted archives." It show that for jammy (22.04) there is a PPA providing version 11.25-1~xtradeb1. (2022-08-31) If you feel like building your package from the sources, you can get a workin...

As per: https://repology.org/project/freefilesync/history

2023-02-09 07:03 Raspbian Testing has caught up with the newest version

By that time it was 12.0.
12.4 may arrive soon

If this is specific to 12.1 you might want to have a look at this thread: viewtopic.php?t=10103

BTW, there is a link to a patch in it (if you compile from sources)

Zenju, reverting the change you mention apparently removes the issue (still built with GTK3).

For anyone interested, a patch for this revert is available here: https://salsa.debian.org/bastif/freefilesync/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/patches/revert_buggy_gtk3_change_in_12.1.patch

It seems I have a similar problem on debian with KDE, when built from source.
BTW, the Makefile still references gtk2, is this as expected or should it be gtk3 now?

Hello, In 12.0 there are two new files: zen/argon2.cpp & zen/argon2.h While you are a copyright holder for argon2.h, you are not mentioned at all in argon2.cpp although you made changes there. You actually reference putty copyright holder only. Can you confirm that the copyright header is as exp...

Hello Zenju, Would you provide the AppStream Metadata? I think its better if this file is provided by you rather than each distribution having its own. That way you can have control on the value of the fields and all distros would share the same. More info can be found here. https://www.freedesktop....

Looks like this one can be fixed by adding -latomic to the LDFLAGS on mipsel architecture.
Not sure if this is the correct way to fix this though.

Hopefully you will find some time to fix it in future.
The URL you reference is already used and integrated into the PR https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/9758
You just have to fix the last things of that PR. I can squash your commits if this is the point, but can't do more, sorry.

Hello Zenju, In your sources (Bugs.txt) you mention a bug in curl referencing https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/1455 & https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1470 As a courtesy since the commits weren't squashed, I took your PR, refreshed it and created https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/9758 Upstre...

This patch will permit to build freefilesync with any curl version >= 7.66.0 on the system. Hopefully you can merge this into your source code.

Permit reproducible builds by use of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH Currently the code relies on __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros.
