 |
|
Hello everybody!
It is about a week dropbox not starting.
I unistalled and tried to emerge again. I've tried any hint 'n tip i've found but i couldn't manage to make it work.
(i use KDE)
Installing
| Code: |
eix -I dropbox
[I] net-misc/dropbox
Available versions: 34.3.19^ms 35.4.20^ms[1] 36.4.22^ms[1] (~)37.3.28^ms 37.4.29^ms[1] 38.4.27^ms[1] 39.4.49^ms[1] {X +librsync-bundled selinux PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7"}
Installed versions: 39.4.49^ms[1](09:11:49 24/11/17)(X librsync-bundled -selinux PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7")

[1] "jorgicio" /var/lib/layman/jorgicio
|
I've tried both jorgicio overlay and portage tree package 37.3.28 but nothing changed.
When installing net-misc/dropbox
and run first time in console i get this
| Code: |
$ dropbox

Couldn't start Dropbox.
This is usually because of a permissions error. Storing your home folder on a network share can also cause an error.

After [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-7.2.0 * update . i did an emerge -e @world
Nothing changed.
I can't figure out what the problem is.
Should i fill a bug report? |

I experienced something similar some time ago. I was trying to run Dropbox for the first time on a new Gentoo installation, and I couldn't make it link to my account. The application started, there was a tray icon displayed, but I couldn't do anything more. I couldn't see anything abnormal in the logs, they were similar to what you showed in your post.
By trial and error I found that if I start Dropbox application with empty DISPLAY environment variable (or without X11 started), then in the console it showed me the link that I could paste to the web browser. That link took me to Dropbox website, where I could log in to my account. And then after restarting Dropbox normally it started to sync files as it should.
So maybe you could try running Dropbox like this: | Code: | | DISPLAY= ./dropboxd |
from directory dropboxd is in (I don't know where exactly it is in your case), and see if it gives you a link like that? |

@arcctgx
Thanks you for your input. Yes with this trick for sure i was able to sync!
But i still needed the tray icon.
So i found in a forum that i had to delete .dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-*/libdrm.so.2
I did but nothing happened.
I re installed the cli deamon.(#dropbox-cli start -i) And deleted again the libdrm.so.2 and with #dropbox-cli start
IT WORKED!!!!!!!
Thank you all and happy new year!! |

Thanks for this.
This is half fix at best, any idea what update is killing dropbox so we can file a bug upstream? I'd like to have dropbox working properly. |

Thanks you for your input. Yes with this trick for sure i was able to sync!
But i still needed the tray icon.
So i found in a forum that i had to delete .dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-*/libdrm.so.2
I did but nothing happened.
I re installed the cli deamon.(#dropbox-cli start -i) And deleted again the libdrm.so.2 and with #dropbox-cli start
IT WORKED!!!!!!!
Thank you all and happy new year!! |
solved for me! Thanks! (It doesn't works for me after an update)
I post my clean procedure for solving the problem and for who needs help
1- Delete .dropbox-dist and .dropbox folders on /home (note their are hidden)
2- kill all dropbox instances (but not allways works, prefered method is reboot the computer because their don't die after SU kill)
3- dropbox-cli start -i
There's a dialog for automatic download of the software on dropbox-dist, and there's a new login between the browser (without dialog login), very easy for passwords not remember cleanly
procedure on code:
| Code: | rm -r .dropbox-dist
rm -r .dropbox
reboot
|
after rebooting
| Code: | | dropbox-cli start -i |
Notes for noobs: remember, the dropbox and dropbox-cli must be merged and your user there's on /etc/conf.d/dropbox DROPBOX_USERS="your username" |
