Hi,
I’m having an issue where both computers appear to be functioning normally, but one is not sending changes to another in a particular folder.
I’ll try to be as succinct as possible about this while providing as much detail as could potentially be useful.
Computer A is named debbox, here’s its specs:
avery@debbox:~/Pictures/Screenshots/Big Toms$ lsb_release -a && uname -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
Linux debbox 5.4.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.4.19-1 (2020-02-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux
avery@debbox:~/Pictures/Screenshots/Big Toms$ /usr/bin/syncthing --version
syncthing v1.13.1 "Fermium Flea" (go1.15.7 linux-amd64) teamcity@build.syncthing.net 2021-01-11 14:15:21 UTC
Computer B is named chubbychipmunk, here’s its specs:
avery@chubbychipmunk [03:45:28 PM] [~/Pictures/Screenshots/Big Toms]
-> % lsb_release -a && uname -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid

The folder I noticed that is not syncing is /home/avery/Pictures/Screenshots/Big\ Toms
.
Here it is on Computer A:

Someone asked a question similar to this I saw, but they wouldn’t provide screenshots, so I thought I should do that. Here’s Computer A, with the folder in question open:
Here’s Computer B:
I noticed my UID/GID are different between the two machines, although I’ve never noticed an issue with that previously. I thought I’d include the two IDs just in case that could be an issue.
Computer A id
:
avery@debbox:~/Pictures/Screenshots/Big Toms$ id
uid=1001(avery) gid=1001(avery) groups=1001(avery),27(sudo),10000(BUILTIN\administrators),10001(BUILTIN\users)
Computer B id
:
avery@chubbychipmunk [03:32:28 PM] [~/Pictures/Screenshots/Big Toms]
-> % id
uid=10000(avery) gid=10001(administrators) groups=10001(administrators),27(sudo)
I ran STTRACE=model /usr/bin/syncthing
on both machines, but the output is too lengthy to post here, so I stuck it on pastebin: malfunctioning syncthing STTRACE - Pastebin.com
If anyone has an idea as to what I should do, I’d love to hear it! I’ve tried rescanning, and also killing then re-starting syncthing with syncthing -reset-deltas &
Thanks
