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.

Hi yan. I managed to manually remove and reinstall knewstuff. I'm still having a problem with dropbox. It complains about the integrity check. AUR Packages (1) dropbox-35.4.20-1 :: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y :: Retrieving package(s)... :: dropbox build files are up-to-date -- skipping :: Checking dropbox integrity... ==> Making package: dropbox 35.4.20-1 (Sun Sep 24 09:53:46 CDT 2017) ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found dropbox.png -> Found dropbox.desktop -> Found terms.txt -> Found dropbox.service -> Found dropbox@.service -> Found dropbox-lnx.x86_64-35.4.20.tar.gz ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... dropbox.png ...

As knewstuff itself doesn't work, it's not a dropbox issue but a knewstuff one. Mailing lists, IRC channels or forums are better places for this problem.

@rabarrett: Most likely knewstuff isn't installed correctly. Try reinstalling it.

@Kozmik: Thanks! I added it to optional dependencies.

Kozmik commented on 2017-08-23 03:30 (UTC)

xdg-utils should probably be added as a dependency, as without it Dropbox won't open my browser to let me log in unless I set the BROWSER environment variable manually.

@coxackie: I can confirm the same issue on LXQt - seems a dropbox bug. A workaround is rename the startup file in ~/.config/autostart/ from dropbox.desktop to something else. Technically, dropbox checks a preference item `startupitem` when it's started, and ~/.config/autostart/dropbox.desktop is deleted if `startupitem` is not set.

I am experiencing a weird bug with Dropbox v32.4.23 on Gnome. I add dropbox.desktop to ~/.config/autostart/ in order to get it to autostart (either via Gnome Tweak Tool or manually copying it from /usr/share/applications). Whenever I start Dropbox, it deletes the dropbox.desktop file from ~/.config/autostart/. I have also noticed that the option "Start Dropbox on system startup" from Dropbox preferences is always unticked when Dropbox starts, even if I have enabled it previously. Potentially this is to blame? Anyone else experiencing this?

https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 points to 31.4.24 yesterday, yet it changed back to 30.4.23 this morning. I believe that's because 31.4.24 has big problems on Windows [1]. I synced my files on several Arch boxes with 31.4.24 today and see no issues, so I decide to stay with 31.4.24. If you got problems with 31.4.24 while 30.4.23 is fine, please tell me and I'll downgrade this package. Update: Dropbox just releases 31.4.25 and https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 points to this version. I guess they've fixed the problem.
