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.

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

orschiro commented on 2013-09-04 06:19 (UTC)

@lahwaacz Sorry for that. I completely forgot about a local script that I used for reconnection. That has caused dropbox to restart all the time and not the systemd service.

lahwaacz commented on 2013-09-03 21:28 (UTC)

@orschiro: aren't you using systemd's dropbox@.service? It includes 'Restart=always'.

orschiro commented on 2013-09-03 21:20 (UTC)

The dropbox client restarts over and over again regardless how often I try to kill it. Except for the client itself I do not run any other software which could cause the client to restart: [orschiro@thinkpad ~]$ pacman -Q | grep dropbox dropbox 2.2.13-1 Have you got any idea how I can trace back what is causing the restarts of the client?

@rumpelsepp: OK, I don't see any reason to change the default theme, there are plenty of alternative themes, you might as well create your own: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dropbox-white-icons https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dropbox-ubuntu-mono-light https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dropbox-ubuntu-mono-dark (assuming that the linked packages work, I have not checked them)

@lahwaacz you're right, I have talked about the panel... I see you're right and we need more files... :(

lahwaacz commented on 2013-09-02 08:55 (UTC)

@rumpelsepp: /usr/share/pixmaps/dropbox.png is too small for you? It's 128x128 px... If you need bigger status icon for the panel, single icon won't help you: /opt/dropbox/images/hicolor/16x16/status/dropboxstatus-blank.png /opt/dropbox/images/hicolor/16x16/status/dropboxstatus-busy.png /opt/dropbox/images/hicolor/16x16/status/dropboxstatus-busy2.png /opt/dropbox/images/hicolor/16x16/status/dropboxstatus-idle.png /opt/dropbox/images/hicolor/16x16/status/dropboxstatus-logo.png /opt/dropbox/images/hicolor/16x16/status/dropboxstatus-x.png

What about including a bigger icon? http://redwolf.deviantart.com/art/Dropbox-Icon-for-Windows-146408312 The standard icon is damn to small for gnome3...

Thaodan commented on 2013-08-28 13:17 (UTC)

what about removing unneeded stuff like the windows exes from the package?
