How To Install Dropbox in openSUSE (Gnome)

Add the repo for your openSUSE version:
11.4

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.4:/Contrib/standard contrib

11.3

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.3:/Contrib/standard contrib

Then do this from su - terminal

zypper in dropbox nautilus-dropbox

Once done, close that terminal.

Now do this in a user terminal:

dropbox start -i

This should start this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/Dropbox%20Install/drop1.png

Then OK this and:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/Dropbox%20Install/drop2.png

Then:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/Dropbox%20Install/drop3.png

Just follow the prompts to create the account entering your email address and a password for your dropbox account:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/Dropbox%20Install/drop4.png

Logout and back in and you are done.

**How to Install Dropbox KDE
**

Add the contrib repo for your openSUSE version:

12.1

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/Contrib/openSUSE_12.1/ contrib

11.4

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.4:/Contrib/standard contrib

11.3

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.3:/Contrib/standard contrib

**

Add the kde-extra repo for your version:**

12.1

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_12.1/ kde-extra

11.4

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_11.4/ kde-extra

11.3

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_11.3/ kde-extra

**

Next refresh the repos:**

zypper ref

(a) to accept the key

Install dropbox and the kde service menu

zypper in dropbox dropbox-servicemenu

Next do this in a normal user terminal:

dropbox start -i

This should start this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/Dropbox%20Install/drop1.png

Then OK this and:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/Dropbox%20Install/drop2.png

Then:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/Dropbox%20Install/drop3.png

That’s it. And the service menu should give you the context menu actions in konqueror and dolphin.

Remember you’ll prol need to logout or reboot to have the full functions in Nautilus (Copy Public URL)

Can I have something clarified?
I have followed this thread to it’s end having had the same error message …
gpgme.GpgmeError: (32, 176, ‘Not operational’)

I am then understanding from the thread that I need to uninstall python-gpgme before running
dropbox start -i

Whenever I try to uninstall python-gpgme it wants to also uninstall the dependencies
The following packages are going to be REMOVED:
dropbox nautilus-dropbox python-gpgme

I am obviously missing something. Please help.

caf4926 · February 27, 2012, 11:06am

uninstall python-gpgme
That should no longer be necessary

garthkh · February 27, 2012, 11:06pm

Sounds easy, but …

linux-zfg9:/home/garth # uninstall python-gpgme
If ‘uninstall’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf uninstall
linux-zfg9:/home/garth # cnf uninstall
uninstall: command not found
linux-zfg9:/home/garth #

Why can’t I use the uninstall command?

When I have managed to uninstall python-gpgme do I just need to go back to the user terminal and run
dropbox start -i

caf4926 · February 28, 2012, 4:29am

Please follow the guide from the beginning

Removal is not necessary. I have it installed.

FYI: to remove a package installed by the software manager or zypper
Use: zypper remove <packagename>

garthkh · February 28, 2012, 5:35am

I followed all the instructions as per this link …

What am I not getting right?

caf4926 · February 28, 2012, 8:03am

What version of openSUSE?
Thing is I use kde, but it shouldn’t matter, the only difference is I use the kde integration not nautilus

What repos do you have

zypper lr -d

Be patient I’m busy today
