Linux (64-bit Intel/AMD) and is running normally again. Until I reboot. Maybe I will copy this over to /usr/bin to fix? Just the one file?Either that or manually edit the file or launch with syncthing -allow-newer-config I think I will brute force overwrite the binary with: sudo cp -f /media/tom/kali/usr/bin/syncthing /usr/bin/syncthing Which I can confirm WORKS. No idea what will happen if I do apt upgrade when Canonical update their repo. As I said I reckon Ubuntu has turned bad. I can tell because snap sucks arse and the only “benefit” of snap is everything is confusing and closed-source for their corporate backers. Fair enough. Best way to ask Ubuntu to update their version?Weirdly， using the same /home folder mounted as a partition as my older / current main system which is Kubuntu. To test Kali but maybe replace with fresh install of Kubuntu later. So then I installed syncthing which upgraded my config file to version 37 from 35. Then I reboot into Kubuntu and syncthing has been bricked somewhat showing this error at the terminal: [start] 16:47:13 INFO: syncthing v1.18.0-ds1 "Fermium Flea" (go1.18.1 linux-amd64) debian@debian 2023-05-03 08:38:45 UTC[start] 16:47:13 WARNING: Failed to initialize config: config file version (37) is newer than supported version (35). If this is expected， it appears as if uploads of new versions to unstable are made very infrequently: Debian Package Tracker A bug report requesting an update to 1.23.6 or newer has been left unanswered: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1042364 I will send Debian a note shortly… ， use -allow-newer-config to override.[monitor] 16:47:13 INFO: Syncthing exited: exit status 1 I guess the newer install of syncthing into Kali updated the shared config. Kali’s version I would assume is 37， because why on earth would Kali’s freshly installed version done using apt install syncthing be newer than on my kubuntu 22.04? . Must be that Kali has different repos set. I wonder which version of syncthing uses config 35 and which version uses config file version 37? I guess I could reboot into Kali and try finding out. Another idea would be to launch Kali’s install of syncthing by running: /media/tom/kali/usr/bin/syncthing which works fine! This one says that it is v1.27.2-ds4， this request to update the unstable repo goes unanswered: Wtf Canonical? General I don’t think this has anything to do with Canonical or Ubuntu. They just ship the exact same packages as Debian for syncthing. Looking at Debian’s upload activity， but recently I’ve been using Kubuntu cos still I love KDE Plasma and figured it would be the best way to run it. I digress. CONFIG FILE VERSIONSI feel I can fix this with a manual download / side-load outside of the APTITUDE repo system，。
So I installed Kali linux on another partition yesterday， but since KALI LINUX also uses apt I thought it worth posting here， whereas Kubuntu’s is at 35. I was not entirely surprised that the following also failed: sudo apt upgrade syncthing Reading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree... DoneReading state information... Donesyncthing is already the newest version (1.18.0~ds1-3ubuntu0.2). I guess perhaps this means Ubuntu has gone evil and time to switch to another daily driver version of linux? Mint was good for a certain time (especially since it not use snap)。
