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.

@xavierbaez I can not remember how I installed it.

xavierbaez commented on 2023-02-23 08:56 (UTC)

Can you maintain the package?

You seem very familiar with this software

dropbox works fine, have the newest version using yay (on manjaro). However, when I try to use commandline args like 'update' or 'version' (I'd like to make a bash script that uses the 'dropbox status' so the PC can be shutdown only after everything is up to date)

this is what I get:

dropbox  version

fish: Job 1, 'dropbox  version' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)

someone on Ubuntu fixed it by installing these packages:

sudo apt install libc6 libglapi-mesa libxdamage1 libxfixes3 libxcb-glx0 libxcb-dri2-0 libxcb-dri3-0 libxcb-present0 libxcb-sync1 libxshmfence1 libxxf86vm1

however they have no equivalent on Arch (trying the same with pac instead of apt install did nothing, of course, but I tried).

any idea what's going on?

mood commented on 2022-07-29 12:19 (UTC)

There's a problem with Dropbox and “AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support”. As mentioned in https://www.lorenzobettini.it/2022/05/dropbox-and-gnome-42/ replace that extension with "Tray Icons reloaded": https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2890/tray-icons-reloaded/

endeavourOS, GNOME Version: 42.3, wayland dropbox icon in system tray is not clickable. any workaround?

bob418 commented on 2022-04-13 23:24 (UTC)

Dropbox cannot work properly on Gnome 42. The icon on the top bar is not clickable so the preferences cannot be managed.
