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.

The missing trayicon seems to be a bug in qt5: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31762 I also found a workaround for the missing icon, try starting dropbox with strace: strace dropboxd &> /dev/zero I have no idea why that is working. It seems to be driver related: nvidia-340xx --> icon working out of the box nouveau & intel --> icon not working "strace dropboxd" works for both nouveau & intel.

Guys, just stop this! This is not a bugtracker for Dropbox. We do not need a comment at every release to tell us the icon is broken for each display manager ever created.

3.0.4-1 didn't fixed the problem, at least in xfce,

aryklein commented on 2014-12-18 13:15 (UTC)

In Xfce, disabling the display compositing and restarting dropboxd service makes the icon reappears. Anyway is not a solution for me.

Cinnamon here as well. Icon looks different from v2, but works perfectly otherwise.

clfarron4 commented on 2014-12-17 18:46 (UTC)

I've just come over from dropbox-experimental to this package and I still have the icon showing in the system tray in the Cinnamon. No idea about other DEs.

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>
