Cannot run dropbox in opensuse 13.1

Even though I’ve installed dropbox in opensuse 13.1 (software.opensuse.org: Search),
I cannot run it by launching Applications/Recently installed/dropbox, nothing happened after I press Dropbox button.

:open_mouth:
Weird thing is that Process 1417 belongs to dropbox (I saw that in system activity), but I just cannot see the dropbox (both the Folder where my files are stored and the application itself).
Anyone can help ?

Hi,

did you install dropbox only or did you also install dropbox-servicemenu (I installed both and have the dropbox icon in kicker)?

I can only run dropbox in konsole,

<<
Icy@linux-68vg:~> dropbox start
Dropbox is already running!
Icy@linux-68vg:~> dropbox help

Note: use dropbox help <command> to view usage for a specific command.

I installed dropboxservicemenu , but it didn’t help.I still get this :

Icy@linux-68vg:~> dropbox start

dropbox-servicemenu

Hi,

I looked around and found some stuff you might want to see. That said, I think you need to run;

dropbox start -i

I skimmed the documents below, for KDE, and I *think *that will run an installer, to set up dropbox accounts although I do not have it installed and have not used it.

:also may be important:

one click install nautilus

software.opensuse.org: Install package openSUSE:13.1 / nautilus-dropbox

Hey, you would not believe this:

Icy@linux-68vg:~> sudo dropbox start -i
Starting Dropbox…
Dropbox is the easiest way to share and store your files online. Want to learn more? Head to https://www.dropbox.com/

In order to use Dropbox, you must download the proprietary daemon.
Note: python-gpgme is not installed, we will not be able to verify binary signatures. [y/n] y

hen I manually install python-gpgme by Yast, yast tells me that I should install KDouBan FM in the same time, KDouBanFM is a popular online music player, and it runs perfectly, which is a bonus surpriselol!.

But question is that nautilus-dropbox is for Gnome desktop environment, isn’t it? But I’m using KDE, so I installed dolphin-plugin.
Seems I cannot download it tonight!
Thanks bro!

Hi,

I am glad it worked out for you.

For the record it looks to me like that is the component/language-extentsion (python-gpgme) which keeps your files secure.
You may want to investigate that further. That is, even if you installed it and its working well (dropbox).

But question is that nautilus-dropbox is for Gnome desktop environment, isn’t it? But I’m using KDE, so I installed dolphin-plugin.

Honestly I am not sure, but I think you are correct so that might be irrellevant. On the KDE directions I saw, though, I didn’t see a mention of dolphin-plugins.
