Run the following command in case you got errors during "Verifying source file signatures with gpg..."

gpg --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

Alternatively, you can download Dropbox's public key from https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc and import it with:

gpg --import rpm-public-key.asc

You can check whether keys are successfully imported or not using the output of gpg -k. You should find something like this:

pub   rsa2048 2010-02-11 [SC]
      1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E
uid           [ unknown] Dropbox Automatic Signing Key <linux@dropbox.com>

If you can't run the dropbox@ service normally, try to create a read-only directory ~/.dropbox-dist and run again.

@renatocan: > However, it occurs only on my desktop and not on my laptop. That's funny, I have the same issue with cinnamon. My desktop does not show the icon, but my laptop does (both cinnamon, same version), while KDE always shows the icon. It would be nice to find a workaround for hidden tray icons.

I am also having a similar problem to the one mentioned by @dedfed. I use XFCE and although the startup option is disabled in Dropbox, the autostart file is created and it starts but the icon is not showed in system tray. The synchronization works but, to have the icon showed, I have to kill dropbox process and open it again. I could only make the icon work when starting xfce by creating a script with a "sleep 15" before calling dropbox. However, after dropbox is initialized the first time it creates a new autostart file which breaks this solution (since dropbox starts without the icon before my script is called). The problem started since last update. However, it occurs only on my desktop and not on my laptop. Thanks, Renato.

@dedfed: sounds the reverse of an older bug. @coxackie's comment on 2017-08-16 16:42 and my comment on 2017-08-19 18:15 may help.

I have a problem with xfce4 where i have the startup option disabled but every time i start my laptop dropbox starts. I have also looked in "Session and startup" settings but disabling or deleting the dropbox entry does not seem to work as dropbox reactivates/ recreates the entry every time i start it. I have also tried to add "Hidden=true" on my dropbox.desktop file, but this seemed to work only until the next update.

Thank you so much yan! I didn't think about the fact that I crashed a couple of days ago while updating. Seems I have a regular problem crashing whenever I'm copying a large file to a USB. I've searched all over and tried copying with different things (rsync, pycp, etc.), but nothing seems to work. And since my forum searches keep turning up nothing on the issue, I'm not sure how to solve the large copy problem. But at least dropbox is working again. Much appreciated.

@rabarrett: the checksum is correct. Most likely you got a broken file (partial downloads, etc.) Try to delete existing dropbox-lnx.x86_64-35.4.20.tar.gz and install again.

Hi yan. I managed to manually remove and reinstall knewstuff. I'm still having a problem with dropbox. It complains about the integrity check. AUR Packages (1) dropbox-35.4.20-1 :: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y :: Retrieving package(s)... :: dropbox build files are up-to-date -- skipping :: Checking dropbox integrity... ==> Making package: dropbox 35.4.20-1 (Sun Sep 24 09:53:46 CDT 2017) ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found dropbox.png -> Found dropbox.desktop -> Found terms.txt -> Found dropbox.service -> Found dropbox@.service -> Found dropbox-lnx.x86_64-35.4.20.tar.gz ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... dropbox.png ...

As knewstuff itself doesn't work, it's not a dropbox issue but a knewstuff one. Mailing lists, IRC channels or forums are better places for this problem.
