Syncthing-GTK appimage fails to run, GTK3 missing

Running Debian 9 on KDE.

have you tried installing the dependencies?

[dyedquartz]

I have tried, but I don't know if I have gotten all of the required dependencies. I have tried installing gobject-introspection and libgtk-3-0 which the latter has already been installed.

[dyedquartz]

UPDATE: I installed all of the dependencies, but the installer still does not want to launch

EDIT: $ gtk-launch --version returns 3.22.11

[kozec]

AppImage is entire application, not installer. But what you are describing shouldn't be happening and is most likely related to that libjpeg message. I can try bundling libjpeg along with everything else, but in meantime, it may be simpler to get deb package from obs.

[dyedquartz]

Thanks, that has worked for me installing syncthing-gtk, but now it does not show the folders on the left side, none at all.

[kozec]

Try starting it from terminal (syncthing-gtk -d -v) and check if it displays any errors.

KeyError: u'fsWatcherEnabled'

Sounds like really old version of syncthing.

[dyedquartz]

ok, I'm going to try to install the most updated version of syncthing, and see if that fixes it

[dyedquartz]

Alright, Downloading the newest binary through the gtk app worked, thanks for all the help!

For the people experiencing this in the future: tried to run AppImage on Fedora, had packages but still had this error, trying to install from the repos now and it pulls these things:

 python2-gobject                                            x86_64                                       3.32.2-1.fc30                                        updates                                        16 k

 python2-dateutil  

so that's likely what you need?
