Run the following command in case you got errors during "Verifying source file signatures with gpg..."

gpg --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

Alternatively, you can download Dropbox's public key from https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc and import it with:

gpg --import rpm-public-key.asc

You can check whether keys are successfully imported or not using the output of gpg -k. You should find something like this:

pub   rsa2048 2010-02-11 [SC]
      1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E
uid           [ unknown] Dropbox Automatic Signing Key <linux@dropbox.com>

If you can't run the dropbox@ service normally, try to create a read-only directory ~/.dropbox-dist and run again.

...You'll need to regenerate the md5s in the PKGBUILD because it's expecting the files for 3.0.5, and with the changed version it grabs the older files and sees they don't match the newer ones. Run makepkg -g and replace the md5sums in the PKGBUILD with the ones that produces.

@fthiery, how you've installed the dropbox2? What did you change in PKGBUILD? I've tried only to change pkgver=3.0.5 to pkgver=2.10.52 but it gave me a md5sum check error. Thanks in advance

Just wanted to point out that the discussion regarding the disappearance of the icon in some wm is happening here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1486617 The workaround is basically to stick to dropbox2 until the qt bug is resolved.

@untitaker oh right! I missed that! Sorry and thanks.

@abmantis: The links on https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx redirect to this.

abmantis commented on 2015-01-10 01:38 (UTC)

This is pointing to an user's dropbox folder and not to the official dropbox package. Is it safe?

Since 3.x there is no visible icon in the bottom bar in gnome

Yesterday I connected my laptop to an HDMI TV and the Dropbox icon just appeared. However it was overlapping another adjacent icon. There seems to be a problem with positioning.

gourdcaptain commented on 2014-12-26 02:51 (UTC)

Interestingly, it works for me under the linux-lts (3.14) kernel with the open-source radeon drivers, but not on 3.18. This is WEIRD.
