Re: Sync problem

[Mark E. <ma...@mp...>]

Glenn, can you please reply to the previous message in your thread
instead of creating a new one, it's much easier to see what you said to
start with.

I'm going to paste in the original message at this point.

I've just re-read this. You say sync fails, how does it fail, what does
it say. From what you've written below, I assume the below message is
not what you "normally" get when it fails.

Try again, but first manually start synce-sync-engine from the command
line in a separate window.

Looks like dbus isn't starting sync-engine. Does the
file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.synce.SyncEngine.service
exist ?
