profile-sync-daemon - keep browser profiles in tmpfs and sync'ed

Lockheed · 2015-02-02 12:17:53

Hmm, that's the site being called during my regular update. Maybe my mirrorlist is old...

Lockheed · 2015-02-02 12:22:10

Nope, I updated it and still get:

:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/profile-sync-daemon-5.68-1-any.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (checksum)).

I am using

[repo-ck]
Server = http://repo-ck.com/$arch

so mirrorlist update was probably pointless, anyway.

I don't host packages for psd on repo-ck. You have to build it from the AUR.

I don't host packages for psd on repo-ck. The other site you linked that ends in .de is nothing I know of (perhaps a user created repo. Unless you have a great deal of trust for the person running it, I would not recommend blindly downloading software from an untrusted source.

Well, it is one of the repos from Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/un … derkun-aur
Anyway, I contacted the maintainer and he uploaded the missing package.

Just friendly advice

Thanks, I will reconsider.

Bump to v5.66-1
Changelog: Support for vivaldi-browser.
Commit: https://github.com/graysky2/profile-syn … 65...v5.66

Hello graysky,

I've perhaps a problem with PSD and Vivaldi Browser.

I use now vivaldi-snaphot (developer release): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vivaldi-snapshot
The profile path is always ~/.config/vivaldi

When psd.service is enabled, three shortcuts are created:
- vivaldi
- vivaldi-snapshot
- vivaldi-unstable
Each of them redirects to /tmp/$user-vivaldi.

Without psd running, there is only vivaldi directory.

Thank you for your help.

Only tested with stable Vivaldi. Need to look at it myself.

Sorry graysky. There was a mess in my config directory (two dead links : vivaldi-unstable & vivaldi-snapshot). Enable PSD mixed everything.
I've deleted these links and now I see that the true profile for vivaldi-snapshot is ~/.config/vivaldi-snapshot (even if vivaldi-snapshot creates at launch another directory named "vivaldi" which is almost empty (only an empty "crash report" directory)).

Could PSD support it?

Thanks a lot and sorry for the confusion

Edit: Meanwhile, I adopted anything-sync-daemon. It seems to work well with ~/.config/vivaldi-snapshot.

What is the output of the following when vivaldi-snapshot is running?

ps aux | grep vivaldi

Sincerely, I don't think. Profiles were mixed when passing from vivaldi "stable" to vivaldi-snapshot. It's difficult to see what happened exactly.
Now, I restart with a new Profile. Vivaldi creates two directory in /.config:
- vivaldi: an almost empty directory (only "crash report")
- vivaldi-snapshot which contains all the data

When starting PSD, a "vivaldi-backup" directory and a "vivaldi" link (-> /tmp/lenny-vivaldi) are created.
So PSD does its job for vivaldi browser but the target is not good for vivaldi-snaphot.

OK. Do you have both the stable and snapshot installed? What is the output of:

pacman -Qs vivaldi

No, only vivaldi snapshot.

$ pacman -Qs vivaldi

graysky · 2015-02-13 18:42:30

So to confirm:
Vivaldi creates ~/.config/vivaldi
Vivaldi-snapshot creates ~/.config/vivaldi-snapshot

Correct?

Nearly

Vivaldi creates ~/.config/vivaldi
Vivaldi-snapshot creates ~/.config/vivaldi-snapshot (which contains the real profile) AND ~/.config/vivaldi (which contains only a "crash report" directory).

No doubt. => removing ~/.config/vivaldi & ~/.config/vivaldi-snapshot => vivaldi-snapshot restart => these two directories are recreated.

@FarStar - Try profile-sync-daemon-git to test out the vivaldi-snapshot support.

AUR link: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/prof … daemon-git
commit: https://github.com/graysky2/profile-syn … e?expand=1

Note that since the upstream code creates two profile dirs and since one of the two is also a profile dir for another browser, if you don't specify 'vivaldi-snapshot' and allow auto detect, psd will detect both browsers. Not a real problem, just something to be aware of I guess. Give me feedback so I can merge into master. Also note that you should stop asd first since in this case you are using it for a sync target. Also remove that sync target from asd.conf to prevent conflicts.

FarStar07 · 2015-02-14 02:17:41

@graysky: I just tried psd-git. Everything works fine

Specify my browsers isn't annoying. It's always what I do.

Thank you very much for all!

Psd will manage the following per /run/psd.conf settings:

I thought only the overlay-folder would be there!?

Yes, this is normal.

Hi all

I have been using psd without problems on Kubuntu for quite some time but after the last Kubuntu update (now 15.04 which may have included a firefox update, currently 37.0.2) nearly every time I run firefox all my bookmarks, settings, add ons etc are gone. When I look in the profile directory there is a default symlinked profile there but it's mostly empty (no bookmarks, add-ons etc). I then stop the psd service, copy a backup of my profile into the profile folder, start the psd service and everything is ok until the next re-boot. Any ideas what is going on? How do I troubleshoot this?

graysky · 2015-05-09 14:31:43

Does Kubuntu use systemd or upstart? I'm wondering if it isn't unsyncing upon a shutdown.

Xabre · 2015-05-09 14:56:10

Kubuntu uses systemd in 15.04

If that's the case, I recommend that Hipster uninstalls the pre-built package from my PPA and builds it on the Kbuntu machine like this:

make
make install-systemd-all

Now try it and report back.
