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.

Yeah I got the same problem in Gnome 3.14. The dropbox icon is not present in the bar, but if I right click where it should be the menu appears. This bug is present since the qt change.

I just stumbled on this on Dropbox's (rather crummy) forum. The problem with the disappearing icons could be a problem with the icon resources themselves. > After the latest big update I've faced a problem with Dropbox tray icon in Ubuntu 12.04 with MATE desktop environment. There's no full-sized Dropbox icon in tray - only 1x1 small white pixel (so-called "icon", but resized somehow to 1px). So you have no ability to reach Dropbox context menu from tray and to see. It seems to be the graphic files' problem. I've opened .png files from ~/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.0.3/images/hicolor/16x16/status in Photoshop , converted them from 16 bits per channel to 8 bits per channel, restarted Dropbox - and tray icon appeared! But after the next restart 1px "icon" got back... I haven't tested different Ubuntu desktop environments, but other people had mentioned the same problem in XFCE with no solution. > > Michail V. <https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201488805-Stable-Build-3-0-3/answers/200931675>

The package is indeed becoming huge, 123 MB for me...

mtorromeo commented on 2014-12-16 14:18 (UTC)

Enough with the dependencies requests! They are all bundled... Please do not link me wiki pages

vicp74 commented on 2014-12-16 13:39 (UTC)

The dependencies are still wrong, you can check it using namcap [1]: $ namcap dropbox-3.0.3-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz dropbox E: Dependency qt5-webkit detected and not included dropbox E: Dependency popt detected and not included dropbox W: Dependency included and not needed ('dbus-glib') So the PKGBUILD should say: depends=("qt5-webkit" "popt" "libsm") [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards#AUR_packages (step 4)

@silverhammermba: Look there: https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201488805-Stable-Build-3-0-3

silverhammermba commented on 2014-12-16 06:54 (UTC)

I'm confused as to why the source URL is not one of the official download ones e.g. https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/... Also all of those packages are named v1.6.2. I can't find any download links for linux that are 3.0.3

Xavier commented on 2014-12-14 16:27 (UTC)

this is a QT version no GTK, please update the dependencies

MightyPork commented on 2014-12-14 10:27 (UTC)

Is this the official release? Just noticed that on their website there's only ~2.1, where does this come from? (btw the downgrade option by @nhutdm + adding to IgnorePkg worked great!)

Ayceman commented on 2014-12-13 22:07 (UTC)

Downgrading according to those sources works well - hope they fix it, as we shouldn't have to use an older client. ctown.myth, gourdcaptain: I said that having QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE set to gtk is aggravation the problem, not a solution. Some systems have it set to fix a qt theming issue in Xfce.
