OverGrive Ubuntu 18.04 Launch Issue

Question

I recently installed OverGrive , Installed successfully but it's not launching. I search answers but nothing is working out. Need help.

Tried launching from the terminal, Following error is coming-

command- python2 /opt/thefanclub/overgrive/overgrive

Output- Traceback (most recent call last): File "overgrive.py", line 53, in <module> ImportError: No module named oauth2client.client

That sounds like two separate questions - for the second one, see Pip installing always results in error — steeldriver, Jun 08 '18 at 15:11
Actually, most of the answers I found had mentioned the pip installation. The primary problem is OverGrive launch. — user838732, Jun 08 '18 at 16:13
All I can suggest is that you attempt to start it from the command line, using the command shown in the Exec= line of the overgrive.desktop file, and [edit] your question with any error messages — steeldriver, Jun 08 '18 at 16:24

I had exactly the same issue and fixed it right now. You'll want to install oauth2client for python2. The pip process for python2 is called pip2. You can verify that:

$ which pip2
/usr/bin/pip2

Under which case

$pip2 install --upgrade oauth2client

fixes that component.

Run in terminal:

pip install --upgrade oauth2client

I had the same issue and contacted the developer. He gave me the following advice, and it worked.

Clear all trashed files from your Google Drive online Trash/Bin folder. Delete the following files from your local Google Drive folder and restart the program. .overgrive.cache .overgrive.auth

You will find the setup screen again. Do the setup and click "Start Sync"

It does not download all the files again. It just "checks" every file and rebuilds the local cache file. It takes time, but no files will be downloaded if they exist already.
