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

If you can't run the dropbox@ service normally, try to create a read-only directory ~/.dropbox-dist and run again.

@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

I gave up and downgraded to Dropbox 2. In Dropbox 3 half the time the icon is missing, and the new QT GUI is ugly. However, Dropbox (in it's infinite wisdom) attempts to upgrade itself. Here's how to prevent it: (Thank you, wiki) install -dm0 ~/.dropbox-dist touch $PATH_TO_DROPBOX_DIR/.dropbox-cache/dropbox-upgrade-3.0.3.tar.gz chmod 0 $PATH_TO_DROPBOX_DIR/.dropbox-cache/dropbox-upgrade-3.0.3.tar.gz

on my machine, dropbox got magically auto-updated to 3.0.3 by itself - my package is still at 2.x @Sc0rian: heavy cpu load: yes, me !! but only occasionally - seems to be related with indexing / file modification checks memory consumption: virtual mem 1.5GB but less than 256MB used

Ayceman commented on 2014-12-11 11:56 (UTC)

It seems the problem with version 3.0.3 is traceable to QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk set in /etc/environment and a lack of qt5-webkit and popt dependencies combined. Both the dependencies need to be present and the environment variable needs to be unset from gtk. Running it as "QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=[insert whatever or nothing, but not gtk] dropboxd" makes it function, but not fit into the theme.

anyone else having really bad memory leaks with the latest update? Just had to kill the client as it was sucking 4.5G with 25% cpu.

Is there any way to restore the tray icon yet? It's missing since the update to 3.x (Mate Desktop). Running dropboxd manually does not fix it either.

asafk commented on 2014-12-10 03:59 (UTC)

Changing the dependencies as suggested by vicp74 works. But the icon shows up only when I manually run dropboxd. If I use the launcher from the Xfce menu, it will show up as a process, but there is no icon; and if I use systemd it doesn't start at all.

vicp74 commented on 2014-12-09 23:24 (UTC)

The dependencies are wrong: $ namcap dropbox-3.0.3-1-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') dropbox W: Dependency included and not needed ('gtk2') So the PKGBUILD should say: depends=("qt5-webkit" "popt" "libsm")

Max-P commented on 2014-12-09 21:45 (UTC)

The tray icon issue seems related to the Qt theme. My Qt somehow happens to not detect my DE properly and uses its default built-in theme and dropbox works just fine for me. Being annoyed by the ugly UI, I just set the QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE variable and boom, no more tray icon. Setting another Qt theme for now might work as a temporary workaround.

Ayceman commented on 2014-12-09 17:33 (UTC)

Yep, same here - Tray icon missing completely on Xfce
