Dropbox on Mageia 4

[isadora]

I have Mageia 4 Gnome edition.After installing nautilus-dropbox I cannot see the GUI.On starting the GUI box appears for half a second and disappears.
On running the command
dropbox start

Code: Select all

[root@localhost amrit]# dropbox start
Starting Dropbox...Done!
[root@localhost amrit]# dropbox status
Dropbox isn't running!

Please use the search function and check the existing threads about dropbox issues.

[amrit]

I have checked the threads, they are on older releases of dropbox with problems which can be fixex by removing libz.so.1.Other threads are on kde.Can you point me to to the specific thread because unlessif I am not mistaken, it doesnt exist.

Dropbox together with kfilebox is working fine here.

[amrit]

Still cant get it to work.It installs fine.On starting there is a blink of the Dropbox configuration GUI and it disappears.

[doktor5000]

Why do you run it as root?

[amrit]

same issue even on non root.

[doktor5000]

How do you start it as user, and how did you install it exactly?

[amrit]

As a user, I run"dropbox start" or through gnome dashboard.Installation initially done by "urpmi nautilus-dropbox "and starting it from gnome dash .After facing the symptom, I tried reinstalling through command line by following instructions here for x64.https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx

edit doktor5000: seems to belong to nautilus-dropbox.

As I don't use GNOME, can only recommend what naother user has done: Install kfilebox, see thread linked above.

You could still try to debug it via

Code: Select all

cd ~/.dropbox-dist; gdb dropbox
run

[amrit]

Code: Select all

Seems the same as viewtopic.php?p=48233#p48233 only that you don't have the debuginfo packages installed, and so won't see all symbols in gdb, but that doesn't matter.

Maybe it's enough if you simply uninstall nautilus-dropbox, install kfilebox, switch the icon theme as mentioned in viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7443 and then logout/login or reboot.
