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 just disowned the dropbox-daemon AUR package as I have moved to systemd, and it's really easy to set up dropbox as a daemon with it. If anyone's on initscripts and wants to adopt the package, now's your time. Also, if you do want to run dropbox as a daemon under systemd, just make a service file with the following contents: [Unit] Description=Dropbox [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/bin/dropboxd ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID KillMode=process Restart=always User=<desired username> [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

I can't change the Dropbox location either in 1.4.11

possible to include something like this at /opt/dropbox/nautilus for different file managers? http://pastebin.com/k0qSifVL

Like Nerga I also couldnt change the Dropbox location in 1.4.17, however I went on to build 1.4.12 and it still doesn't work! mkdir /tmp/dropbox && cd /tmp/dropbox wget --quiet -O - 'http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/tree/dropbox?id=b19a54c808554c796f310747725ad2ff4291e44a' | grep -o "/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/[^']*" | sed -e 's/^/http:\/\/pkgbuild.com/' > files wget -qi files ls | sed -n 's/\([^?]*\)\(.*\)/mv "\1\2" "\1"/p' | sh makepkg -s pacman -U dropbox*.pkg.tar.xz

does anyone experience a segfault?

Narga commented on 2012-09-08 00:37 (UTC)

I don't know why but since Dropbox 1.4.17, it's can't change Dropbox location

mtorromeo commented on 2012-09-03 12:12 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, I updated the package.

I couldn't find anywhere on the dropbox site where they published md5sums of their downloads so I did my own checksum. Is that what you normally do when maintaining this package? Here is a git diff of PKGBUILD which worked for me using the md5sum I generated locally after downloading it manually. It works for me, but I've only tested on one machine and only on x86_64. I'm knew to trying to help with AUR packages, so I hope this helps. diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD index f6b1f81..93c581d 100644 --- a/PKGBUILD +++ b/PKGBUILD @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ # Contributor: Tom < tomgparchaur at gmail dot com > pkgname=dropbox -pkgver=1.4.12 +pkgver=1.4.17 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A free service that lets you bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily." arch=("i686" "x86_64") @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ _source_arch="x86" [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && _source_arch="x86_64" md5sums=('3488299b1d91591d3a5ba7e2c02ec220' '9ec50da2ce59ed8c17606394b9c5e1c0' '20c97082211cf02af494043b93d5feb8' '5331288d5f5972dc2e9311d0f28dac76') -[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && md5sums[0]='a54dd81749c02157f1691ef4ac570305' +[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && md5sums[0]='7a15923bae36f27387b6865c75701c2a' source=("https://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/${pkgname}-lnx.${_source_arch}-${pkgver}.tar.gz" "dropbox.png" "dropbox.desktop" "terms.txt")

1.4.17 fixes the 2-Step Verification. For time being I changed pkgver and skipped md5sums check.
