Re: How to Install Dropbox (KDE)

[akaper]

Don't forget to switch the repo's off, to keep the "holy four" with packman, as is recommended by many in the community. Perhaps you can add this to your article?

Hi, should I run "dropbox start -i" with root user?

No!
As normal user

That was so easy it was silly. Thanks for this post!

Hello all,

This doesn't work for me. I add the repositories successfully then refresh, then get this:

linux-e11d:/home/ # zypper in dropbox dropbox-servicemenu
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'dropbox' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'dropbox' found.
Resolving package dependencies...

Problem: nothing provides dropbox needed by dropbox-servicemenu-0.15.4-1.1.noarch
Solution 1: do not install dropbox-servicemenu-0.15.4-1.1.noarch
Solution 2: break dropbox-servicemenu by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c):

The final step does not work. What is going wrong? Thanks in advance.

The repo has been changed
to
Index of /repositories/network/openSUSE_12.1

Use that instead of the contrib repo. So it's

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network/openSUSE_12.1 dropbox

I called it dropbox, so you'll know why you added it

The rest is the same

*I'm trying to find out if this move is permanent

Hi,

there is a problem while installing dropbox.
The console output of "dropbox start -i":

aphex@linux-4x95:~> dropbox start -i

gpgme.GpgmeError: (32, 176, 'Nicht betriebsbereit')

...any idea ?
Thank you

Please be patient, it may take some time/

I just found a working solution, using some commands listed on dropbox page to get daemon work:

1. Download dropbox daemon as user:

32-bit:

cd ~ && wget -O - http://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86 | tar xzf -


64-bit:

cd ~ && wget -O - http://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 | tar xzf -

2. Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder.

~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

Configure your account and close terminal.

3. On a new terminal, as user:
dropbox start

I hope this can help you.

[ampron]

That worked wonderfully, thank you!

[bonesTdog]

I am getting so close! This all worked for me until:
2. Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder.
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

Here is the error I get. I am running 12.1 KDE
tod@linux-bj8l:~> .dropbox-dist/dropboxd
.dropbox-dist/dropboxd: line 10: /home/tod/.dropbox-dist/dropbox: cannot execute binary file
.dropbox-dist/dropboxd: line 10: /home/tod/.dropbox-dist/dropbox: Success

Any wise words?

The guide instructions here should work now.

I'm afraid this still doesn't work for me. I believe I've followed the instructions above in the link carefully and I get to the point where it has downloaded dropbox, gotten to 100 percent, then it hangs. Nothing happens after that. I'm stuck with a window titled "dropbox installation", where it says "downloading dropbox... 100%" The next window does not appear. Here's part of what appears in the terminal window.

zypper in dropbox dropbox-servicemenu

I had tried to install dropbox before, so the repos were already there. Any suggestions? Thanks

@Subsidiarity
I suggest you report this to the packager or use the OBS Mailing List

do you try give it execution permission? cuz this worked for me.

[dragonbite]

So this is completely separate from kfilebox, located in the OBS?
