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.

@entangled: You should give more information if we shall understand WHICH permission error. If you mean the one discussed here, see the latest posts (especially mine); but an updated script can be found in the wiki

entangled commented on 2011-04-28 19:38 (UTC)

Any workaround for permission error?

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-04-26 11:06 (UTC)

Current version is 1.1.28: https://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86-1.1.28.tar.gz

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-04-19 14:20 (UTC)

daemon script @ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Daemon is working again with 1.1.25-1 - many thanks sylar_5 and mtorromeo.

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-04-16 13:43 (UTC)

My previous workaround doesn't work when running it through rc.conf DAEMON array... just insert a LANG=$LOCALE just before the "su -c "/usr/bin/dropboxd &" $USER"

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-04-15 19:39 (UTC)

Found the problem with the script: dropbox is somehow in conflict with /etc/rc.d/functions so just remove the ". /etc/rc.d/functions" command from the top of the script, and then every call of stat_busy, stat_done, stat_fail, add_daemon, rm_daemon.

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-04-15 10:40 (UTC)

1.1.23-1 wont work with the daemon script @ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Daemon any more, it complains about permissions. Strangely, manual su -c "/usr/bin/dropboxd &" $USER does work :/ Anyone have any ideas? As I don't use a DE or Filemanager and start/stop dropbox with wicd upon connect/disconnect.

mtorromeo commented on 2011-04-04 14:22 (UTC)

@pherms: Done.

pherms commented on 2011-04-03 16:36 (UTC)

Do you mind adding the following line to your .desktop file? Otherwise KDE waits till timeout for a window to open when dropbox starts. StartupNotify=false
