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.

@donniezazen: that's probably because dropbox detected newer version, downloaded it, extracted the files into ~/.dropbox-dist/, tried to re-exec itself and failed. This process fails because dropbox from this package is installed under /opt/dropbox/ and re-exec over different binary path is not possible. The fact that auto-update can't be disabled in dropbox is really pissing me off...

dropbox@donnie.service seems to have started failing. systemctl status dropbox@donnie.service dropbox@donnie.service - Dropbox Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/dropbox@.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Sun 2013-11-03 16:13:37 IST; 5min ago Process: 2619 ExecStart=/usr/bin/dropboxd (code=exited, status=255) Main PID: 2619 (code=exited, status=255)

I recommend all to extract using terminal and: "tar -zxvf dropbox.tar.gz" When i tried to extract using file-roller i got errors and couldn't build the package.

Done, thanks.

You might want to make ufw-extras an optional dependency, since it now includes configuration files for ufw and dropbox. Thanks for maintaining.

Hi: Just trying to help. In the file PKGBUILD, I change the package version to: pkgver=2.4.0 and the corresponding check sum for both i686 and x86_64 sha256sums=('e01474f536a252d117d5882816769951a881c3d67eb2770e2818001d7688cc79' '8b8af2d6a5786d7fa259660a34c47fa0a7534cd112e70d71ee53b1f786baf530' 'dd8fdb362c0bba8d789010594f021671ff00e535fc75e13da855f43bc7a4b3aa' 'b9e020c378c318e72857bb6cd859c74e8da1300f34cee5bfec89c4f7a89770a9' 'c7253ef6806b7efdec6f3d7e1eeaa90f48813e80715733ab9c902123edfdae27') [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && sha256sums[0]='b1a69a7a1f5f6da384701a60b298ce490528a8787de1e6055a7b8ddd6b80e32c' and it works for me.

Nevermind; I somehow messed up /var/tmp.

wilbowma commented on 2013-09-24 02:17 (UTC)

@jaseemabid I'm getting similar issues. It seems to have just started recently though.

I am unable to start dropbox with a as a normal user, but only as root. Is that expected?
