ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED - problems with localhost

[calipomza]

I have Debian 12 and use de snap version
I created json and install in my system.
I execute gphotos-sync, and I view the web for verify, I accept permissions, but the system show ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED - problems with localhost in Chrome, opera and Firefox
Thanks

The last step should be your browser redirecting to localhost in order to send data to the application. I can only suspect that the application started in snap can't be accessed from your browser for some reason (firewall, apparmor, ...). Can you verify that port 8080/tcp is bound on localhost by snap during executing this? (e.g. using netstat -tulpn or ss -tulpn? Or maybe something else is listening on port 8080/tcp?

N.B. I'd edit the URL if I were you, it might reveal something regarding your Google account.

@calipomza unfortunately the person that made the snap has left Canonical and will not be updating it as far as I'm aware. I imagine that since the oauth2 flow switched to using local webserver that the snap won't work for similar reasons we had issues with containers - this is the PR I made into Google to fix that issue googleapis/google-auth-library-python-oauthlib#202.

Would you consider using a container instead of snap? We can definitely get that to work but I'm not going to find the time to learn all about the snap ecosystem I'm afraid.

Then I install manually..... then:
python3 -m venv /path/to/venv
source /path/to/venv/bin/activate

all ok

python3 -m pip install gphotos-sync

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 13] Permiso denegado: '/path/to/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/appdirs.py'
Check the permissions.

what is the problem
Thanks for all

Looks like an appdirs.py issue with that package. Search for that package and the error. Doesn't seem like a gphotos-sync issue.

[calipomza]

Excuse me please. What is a appdirs.py. Where search the error, in google?

[gilesknap]

Now - really an app should pin all its dependencies to make sure it always installs so you could blame gphotos-sync for this.

Therefore I could most likely fix this for you with a little pinning.

Will try to take a look this weekend.

[calipomza]

Thanks my friend. Will talk in weekend

In the output that you pasted above it tells you all the internal workings that pip is doing to install your packages and on the line Installing collected packages: is lists appdirs. On the next line after that it has ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 13] Permiso denegado: '/path/to/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/appdirs.py' . So I'm just reading what you pasted as the output and it looks like it's appdirs.py package that has some kind of permissions problem. Check this link, this is what I was saying to search for: https://www.google.ca/search?q=appdirs.py+permission+denied&sca_esv=ae95a0e0aab0d175&source=hp&ei=ig-oZryDDaegptQPscuH6Q4&iflsig=AL9hbdgAAAAAZqgdmhOekQNqK6SrQfhB1xCfXGtjpcAp&oq=appdirs.py+permission&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhVhcHBkaXJzLnB5IHBlcm1pc3Npb24qAggAMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAFI7ypQAFjuI3AAeACQAQCYAbsBoAG_GKoBBDAuMjC4AQPIAQD4AQGYAhSgAsoawgIREC4YgAQYsQMY0QMYgwEYxwHCAggQABiABBixA8ICCxAAGIAEGLEDGIMBwgIOEC4YgAQYsQMYgwEY5QTCAggQLhiABBixA8ICBRAAGIAEwgIUEC4YgAQYsQMY0QMYgwEYxwEYyQPCAgsQABiABBiSAxiKBcICCxAuGIAEGNEDGMcBwgILEC4YgAQYxwEYrwHCAgQQABgewgIGEAAYHhgPwgIGEAAYCBgewgIIEAAYCBgeGA_CAgoQABgIGAoYHhgPwgILEAAYgAQYhgMYigXCAggQABiABBiiBMICBhAAGBYYHsICBxAhGKABGAqYAwCSBwYwLjE5LjGgB7pi&sclient=gws-wiz
