[SOLVED] Dropbox Nautilus preferences?

Postby valdemar » Sep 28th, '14, 17:38

Hi,

I need to exclude some Dropbox folders from being synchronized on my Mageia 4 system running Dropbox for Nautilus 1.6.

I understand from Dropbox Linux documentation that I must click on the menu bar icon to go to "Preferences", but it just takes me to the Dropbox folder. If I right click the daemon crashes.

Does anybody know how to reach the Dropbox GUI? (I have unsuccessfully tried to install Dropbox natively instead of DB Nautilus).

Thanks,
Valdemar

Natively using the dropbox GUI works fine here. See viewtopic.php?f=41&t=8449 on how to do that.
edit doktor5000:
Ahh, gosh. Now that I've merged this into the MAQeia thread for dropbox, link doesn't work anymore. Use this one instead: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3602

Thanks doktor5000 for responding. I found the culprit. dropboxd crashed because it is not working with the "Adwaita" GTK+ theme. Changing to "Oxygen-gtk" solved the problem.

That's pretty interesting, for everybody else it doesn't work with oxygen-gtk icon, only with other icon themes ... The GTK theme itself should be no issue ...
