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.

Has anyone run an strace? https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201275449-Linux-client-hangs-in-futex-call-during-startup I also wonder what the dependencies are on the RPM package that we repackage. When I get the chance, I'll look into it.

aspirogrammer commented on 2014-12-13 01:30 (UTC)

indeed, new version is just awful (lousy interface, CPU bursts, icon (Gnome 3 user)) --- thanks @KlipperKyle, I downgraded to the older version...

particleman commented on 2014-12-12 12:24 (UTC)

Im using KDE with the air theme. Icon itself looks fine except its white surrounded by black looks like a missing tooth in the KDE panel.

uboot commented on 2014-12-12 08:06 (UTC)

I'm using Awesome with a black/dark theme - systray works, but icon has no alpha channel -> uglyish white square icon. But at least fully functional. According to ctown.myth's link, CPU load should settle sooner or later. I had no significant dropbox CPU load anymore since yesterday.

Thanks. That didn't work for me because I needed a 64-bit copy, but if you just take the PKGBUILD of the current version, change the version number to 2.10.52 and regenerate the hashes it'll install the old version.

Anywhere I can get a copy of Dropbox 2 to install? This has worked a grand total of once with the systemtray icon on XFCE even with a QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk. This update is so amazingly fundamentally broken.

ctown.myth commented on 2014-12-12 00:29 (UTC)

@Sc0rian @uboot: Yes, there's some new metadata that it will scan for [1] @Ayceman: /etc/environment was only comments for me (blank), adding QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE had no effect, the icon still does not show up [1] https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201488805-Stable-Build-3-0-3
