Sync icons not displaying (Nautilus)

📱 Desktop & mobile clients
1

Hi all,

Cant seem to get the desktop client integration to work with ubuntu 20.04.ie the icons that show is a folder is synced or not . I have tried purging all installs . reinstalling desktop client with python3-nautilus etc no joy.
i have manually edited the extension scrypt in /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions
syncstate-Nextcloud.py. was showing a few errors before
when i manually run with python 3 but now fixed with no errors
when i now manually run it i get …

Initializing Nextcloud-client-nautilus extension
Using python version sys.version_info(major=3, minor=8, micro=6, releaselevel=‘final’, serial=0)

i have a feeling its got something to do with this file .

The desktop client itself works with no issues. i have tried PPA and Appimages
Any pointers appreciated

You are not alone, using Ubuntu Budgie (20.04) I’m experiencing the same issue →

Only starting Nautilus with “–no-desktop” option does it work.

I’ve seen this bug issue too, where running the following code seems solve the issue (not tested yet):

sudo apt install python3-nautilus
wget -O ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/syncstate-Nextcloud.py "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/desktop/master/shell_integration/nautilus/syncstate.py"
