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.

@lcoo: Also consider getting the tray icons to the top: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/495/topicons/

@lcoo: they're all in /opt/dropbox/images, AFAICT.

Anybody knows how to change the GNOME 3 notification bar icon for Dropbox. I just want to make it bigger (like other app icons), as it's nearly 4 times smaller than I normal notification bar icon...I just need the location of the icon used...

dhaines commented on 2013-04-04 13:41 (UTC)

@jk779: That wasn't directed towards anyone in particular, but rather to everyone who uses the package.

@dhaines please calm down and don't name someones question "stupid shit", thanks.

@dhaines: I'm not opposed to a service file into dropbox since, as you pointed out, this is the AUR and, more importantly, it does not qualify as a modification to the original package, more like an opt-in addition. @HarD: Your suggestion does not really make any sense, but if you have that need you can modify the service file yourself as already suggested. You don't even need to maintain a separate copy of the service file since you can do something like this to inherit from distributed unit: echo ".include /usr/lib/systemd/system/dropbox@.service [Service] ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 30" > /etc/systemd/system/dropbox@.service systemctl reenable dropbox@USERNAME.service

dhaines commented on 2013-03-26 20:16 (UTC)

Stop asking for stupid shit to be added to the service file. It works at a basic level for all users as-is. If you want to customize it, feel free to do so. It's as simple as copying it to /etc/systemd/system and modifying to your heart's content. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Writing_custom_.service_files Really, I don't even think that the service file should even be included in the tarball as Arch strives for vanilla packaging, but I realize that as this is the AUR, that rule is often relaxed. This is why I once maintained the separate dropbox-daemon AUR build (and indeed offered up the basic recipe for the modern service file when I disowned it).

HarD commented on 2013-03-26 19:55 (UTC)

@mtorromeo Can you please add sleep... [Service] ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 30 Environment

orschiro commented on 2013-03-26 12:55 (UTC)

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