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.

@Maxwel I guess they didn't update the download page. But it doesn't really matter because in windows the program updates itself and in Linux (at least ubuntu) the package in the download page sets a repo to update the package. Anyway <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/release_notes">https://www.dropbox.com/release_notes</a>

Hmm, interesting... on download page only version 1.4.0 is available. I'm talking about packages for Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora... Hmm, strange %)

@mtorromeo: 1.6.2 is out [1] @Maxwel: If you are talking about this [2], then this is the source of nautilus-dropbox. [1] https://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=93351 [2] https://www.dropbox.com/help/247/en

Maxwel commented on 2012-11-28 16:01 (UTC)

Excuse me, but where you got dropbox version 1.6.0? On official site I see only 1.4.0 %)

Since there was no actual 'building' going on in the PKGBUILD, I moved it all to the package() function. This is, I guess (and from pacman-git yelling at me) the way that it's supposed to be written. Packages without a package() function are deprecated. It still builds, just does it weirdly, you could say. https://github.com/KaiSforza/archlinux-pkgbuilds/blob/master/main/dropbox/PKGBUILD

@corubba I get the same dialog (http://i.imgur.com/5GXaI.png), although installation works fine if I click "Don't ask again".

Corubba commented on 2012-11-23 00:24 (UTC)

@pyarch Can't confirm this, runs fine for me under XFCE.

abhixec commented on 2012-11-23 00:15 (UTC)

doesn't work on XFCE prompts me to install the correct package and takes me to the dropbox installation page

@mtorromeo: thanks for including the service file! @darkvenger: true thing, but for the disconnection problem a networkermanager dispatcher (if you're using that) will be needed, too. Dropbox sometimes just gets stuck and never reconnects again if your net is gone for a while...
