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.

@dhaines Good point. I haven't thought of multiple X sessions being running. It might indeed be better to leave this optional.

dhaines commented on 2013-03-25 13:18 (UTC)

Please, don't add the DISPLAY variable. The user's X session is not consistently :0, thus it would break certain configurations (essentially any time that there has been more than one X server running). It's better to have the user override the service file in /etc/systemd/system than it is to put something in there that potentially breaks things for certain configurations. Moreover, I don't believe that it will work in that if dropbox is started before the X session exists, I don't think that it's going to pop up in the tray after :0 is created. Really, if you want the icon in your tray, you shouldn't be running dropbox as a daemon, but rather as a startup item in your DE, as that's where the place for the icon comes from.

@mtorromeo Can you please add the environment line to the service file? This brings up the tray icon when starting Dropbox via the systemd service file. [Service] Environment=DISPLAY=:0 Type=simple

I confirm the context menu bug with awesome : right-clicking the tray icon does not bring a menu any more. No error message are output when dropboxd is launched from the console, while right-clicking on the icon. It seems that the bug only occurs when Dropbox is not connected. Anyway, it's an upstream bug, so wait'n'see...

2.0.0 no longer works with Cinnamon. Right click on the tray icon does not bring up a menu. Left click opens the dropbox folder as usual.

2.0.0 is out.
