the following wine package worked in the machine that was giving me problems:Puppus Dogfellow wrote:works for me two for two (same system, two installations) in xenialpup64 7.5.Puppus Dogfellow wrote: [...]
do you happen to have a version of megasync consistently working in xenial or tahr 64 bit? i failed one for one in xenial64 (different packages/combos than above so never offered (many failures, one installation)) and had initial success in tahr 64 but can't replicate it--fails for me utterly now. not sure what was done differently...change in order of unrelated packages broke something maybe?
anyway,
may not work in your tahr64 installation.[...].Puppus Dogfellow wrote:megatahr64.sfs

versions for tahr64 contain/are made from: libc-ares2_1.7.5-1_amd64.deb, libcrypto++9_5.6.1-5build1_amd64.deb, and megasync-xUbuntu_14.04_amd64.deb.
a new round of tahr64 installations was four for four (three systems), but i've since done something to a 2006 gateway desktop that's killed both megasync and recoll for me (both give zlib__ missing symbol errors (or something similar) that i can't find fixes or packages for).
so more success this time: megatahr64.pet appears to work without issue in Xenialpup64. 7.5, and there's a good shot that will also be the case in tahrpup64. (though only tried it so far the older tahr64 605).
a tip (and why i thought one earlier installation was broken when it wasn't)--don't lose your password. resetting it gets you back into your account, but you can't decrypt the data that was already there; you only get back the old account less by the amount of space/storage you can't access/read--it's like virtual brain damage or something.
from http://www.zdnet.com/article/mega-respo ... d-changes/:so, fifty free gigs of relatively quick cloud storage, don't lose your password, may not work on haunted setups (that gateway's always developing problems or healing itself it seems, and identical setups don't always behave the same on it, but it's my oldest test mule and still a useful machine (main machine for the family/it's in the den and otherwise working well)).Mega confirmed that users currently have no means to change their password , quoting Ars Technica, which previously said that "Losing [your password] means you don't just lose the ability to log on to the service — you lose the ability to decrypt your files, period."
To address this, Mega stated that it would implement a password change feature that will "re-encrypt the master key with your new password," as well as implement a password reset mechanism.
The reset mechanism is purely to allow the user to log back into their account, but it will not allow users to read their existing files, as those would have been encrypted using their previous key. That isn't a problem if the files were encrypted using pre-exported keys, or if the files were shared with others with a specific shared key, but other than that, files will not be accessible without the original key.
MEGAsyncSetup.exe
not preferable, but works well enough (large, somewhat annoying popup replaces the out of the way tray icon, and you have to use wine--i used an older (191) 32 bit sfs and the 32bit lib comp pack--don't notice much of a dip in performance as those sfses have been loaded for months. the download (8 gb account) went smoothly, and so far no problems with subsequent syncs. if you already use wine, it's not a bad last resort).
