kfilebox missing from rc? dropbox crashes

Postby DiBosco » Jun 22nd, '17, 23:32

Folks,

Seen someone else reporting that kfilebox was crashing and theree was a suggestion to install run dropbox. However, I can't find kfilebox in the repositories, let alone install it and find it crashes.

When I install dropbox from the repositories or from the dropbox website and attempt to run from the command line I get a segmentation fault.

I tried the headless install from here:

https://www.dropbox.com/en_GB/install-linux

You can see the icon briefly appears in the system tray and then it crashes giving the segmentation fault error.

Has anyone managed to find a fix for this please? Or know what's happened to kfilebox?

Thanks :)
DiBosco

I believe kfilebox was removed as it is not developed anymore
Here dropbox suddenly ceased to work with segfaults on my wifes computer soon a year ago, but on my machine it still runs (both cauldrons already then, running plasma)

Regarding dropbox, please use the forum search function the segfault has come up already quite a few times.

Yesterday I installed Mageia 6 official on two computers, one by upgrading online and one with a clean installation. Both work perfectly, but the former one's login was very slow until I deleted the .kde4 directory. In neither one can I get dropbox working. the error is: segmentation fault (core dump). I also installed Rosa Fresh R9 Plasma; here I can install dropbox without any problem, although there are problems with the dolphin service menu. I cannot find the core dump and doubt whether I can understand what it says.

Is there something that I can do to remedy this?

Congratulations with this new version!

Keep up the good work and greetings.
