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.

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".

@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...

I get a permission error with the new PKGBUILD http://slexy.org/view/s203lf5kzR
