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.

Where do you get 3.12.6 version? I can't see anything like that here: https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/ But more importantly, my log is full of `[ALERT]: You're using an old version of Dropbox. Please update to the latest version to continue using Dropbox.` messages, even after updating this package.

3.12.5 is now current. On my system, it's been nagging me to enter a system (root?) password with no explanation. Apparently, it was trying to update itself. PKGBUILD stays the same, just updated the version to 3.12.5 (and the related checksum lines if you wish to not ignore those) and it compiled just fine.

3.12.4 released. https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/204468976-Stable-Build-3-12-4

For all having trouble with sync'ing folders, verify your file system mount parameters. In my case, my Dropbox folder was on an XFS partition with the noatime option. Changing to relatime solved my synchronization problems. I've read that if you are on ext3/ext4 you should use the user_xattrs option. I hope this helps someone.

Sorry about that. Fixed.

Hello, it seems like you forgot to update .SRCINFO (PKGBUILD version is 3.10.11, .SRCINFO one is 3.10.8) :)

@KeNaCo, I didn't mean to flame. But I understand your point of view. Thanks anyway, since you did want to help us. @rafasc, thanks for tip

rafasc commented on 2015-11-08 22:18 (UTC)

@janilson Fixed the spotify tray issue (and some other tray apps that still use xembed) by installing xembed-sni-proxy-git.

KeNaCo commented on 2015-11-08 18:00 (UTC)

@janilson This isn't about can/can't help. This is about proper place to ask help and solving problems whish is forum. End of flame, if you want discuss more, +Ken Mijime on g+, @KeNaCo666 on twitter.

janilson commented on 2015-11-08 11:24 (UTC)

@KeNaCo, I think we can help each with little issues. But thanks anyway, we could have asked in forum as well. @rafasc, I've made it work, I just downgraded to version 3.2.9.
