I’ve noticed at least twice that Sync has unexpectedly disconnected on my Linux desktop. I don’t have enough info to make a bug report, so I thought I would just put a note here to see if anyone else has experienced this.
What happened was that I noticed that a particular note was not being synced on my phone, and the problem was because Sync on the desktop had disconnected. I don’t know when it disconnected.
(By the way, when you reconnect Sync, you get a warning saying that older files will be clobbered. Why is there no option to merge? I think I have lost info that way.)
I have Obsidian installed via Snap, and I wonder if that could be a factor. I rebooted my computer a day or two ago, and Snap may have auto-updated Obsidian.
I am going to switch to AppImage in any case.
Same issue,
Sync disconnects everytime I reboot. Updating the system does not help. I think its an issue with obsidian itself.

The sync disconnects may happen is something tampers with Obsidian’s internal settings or they fail to save for some reason (permissions)

I have experienced this at least 5 times in the past 6 months…. maybe its because I have obsidian setup on 5 devices (Android Phone, Arch Linux Laptop, Windows Laptop, Windows Desktop), two of which are not used frequently…so they tend to be out of sync quite a bit…
Today it was my android phone that was not syncing… no idea why… but I had just moved a bunch of files from one folder to another, so I had to write a script to reconcile all the duplicates that now exist.
Is there some option to wait for sync on start-up?
I use the i3wm window manager, and get that to start Obsidian automatically when it starts up. One thing new that is happening recently is that when start i3wm, I get a dialog box saying something like “Program has closed unexpectedly” for Obsidian. I wonder if Obsidian trying to access something is not ready yet.
The Sync was not affected however. But I wonder if the Sync disconnection problem could be related to auto-starting Obsidian.
I put a five-second delay on the auto-start of Obsidian, and the dialog box doesn’t appear now.
I switched to the .deb version of Obsidian, by the way.
