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

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
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.
The following NEW packages are going to be installed:
dropbox dropbox-servicemenu
2 new packages to install.

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