Hello!!!
Does not work megasync in openSUSE 42.2
During my first start window opened -> wrote login and password -> chose a file folder (the folder used megasync + “openSUSE42.1”). Then the tray icon is not displayed, synchronization happens.
But there are two process:
1.megasync
2.sh
The terminal writes “libpng error: Read Error”
This library is in the system, version 1.2, 1.5, 1.6
[FONT=arial]Sorry for my English, I use Google translator[/FONT]
I use the Firefox addon and that works perfectly you can report this to the mega devs as it looks to be a bug in their code nothing we can do about it https://mega.nz/#contact
I just added the mega repo and installed megasync
all I can say is it’s working good
this is what I did
@linux:~> sudo zypper ar -f https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/ MEGA

@linux:~> megasync
and the mega client starts without an issue https://i.imgur.com/Or3KMrd.png
tell us all your repo’s as you might have a bad repo causing the above issue
zypper lr -d
how did you install 42.2 was it a clean install or a live upgrade you might have some old repo’s/packages from your first error I think you have an incomparable repo (not MEGA’s)
when I started “megasync” debug mode, I saw that the synchronization works in Plasma5. No icon in the system tray, and does not open the window. But first window where the selected folder synchronization was, when I first started the client.
well with the exception that you don’t have packman and you have 2 mega repo’s everything looks good
the megasync client adds a repo when you install it that’s why you have 2 MEGA repo’s remove one
this is my suggestion
remove one mega do a zypper dup to make sure all packages are for 42.2 add packman and do a zypper dup from packman
su -
zypper rr 2
zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change
zypper ar -f ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/ packman
zypper dup --from packman
your system just needed a reboot as there was a mesa (and nvidia, probobly ati too) update this morning and libpng was looking for the old libraries
When I install XFCE, then began working in KDE. Now set Tumbleweed removed all hidden files and folders from home folder and everything works fine. I saw that megasync Installer for openSUSE 42.2 from the site removed. For the time being will stay Tumbleweed.
the LEAP repo is still there https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/
the way LEAP works is all 42.x versions will be LEAP the old 42.1 version will be let to die 6 months after the new is out
TW is completely different from LEAP it’s a rolling distro always changing unlike LEAP which is a stable one.
I’m not sure I understand your issue, the libpng error was probobly a needed reboot as the mesa libraries wore updated yesterday and you needed a reboot to use the new ones
as I don’t use megasync I removed it and I didn’t pay attention to the systray icon
MegaSync is build with Qt5 and the source is available if someone wants to rebuild it
I’m amazed by the number of distro’s and versions mega supports (a lot of bigger isp’s don’t have that support) https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/
they even have a repo for opensuse 12.2 with an up to date client
I do believe a plasma 5 update will be out soon maybe your issue will be solved
This is why you don’t use cloud storage for important stuff but for some things that anyone can get access to but that you specifically want to share with your friends.
And 50G for free is a lot of storage to throw away
