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.

@resio Experienced same thing. Fresh Arch + minimal Xfce install, Dropbox starts but doesn't show GUI for login. As it worked before on past installation, I investigate what package could be missing and found out that Dropbox needs libxslt, after that it's launching GUI and working fine. @mtorromeo libxslt as dependency?

@dmccombs Installing the dependencies solved it for me: qt5-webkit popt libsm Icon in the tray, no need to authorize on another computer, everything works smooth.

Fresh install (12Mar15), Cinnamon desktop. Package is workign fine and icon appears. Only needed to authorize computer using cell phone code in a window popping up on first run after install. No reboot or other no complications.

resio commented on 2015-03-10 01:39 (UTC)

After a fresh arch install, dropbox won't even launch a GUI when trying to start it. If you're trying to start dropbox from terminal after a fresh install, you won't see any messages. Reboot and start dropbox before starting x, and you'll see dropbox wants you to go to a link to authorize your computer. Go to that url on another machine, and youll see dropbox has now authorized you. Start Xorg and, though tray icon won't be there (theres a bug out right now), it'll still be running

Still no dropbox icon in the systray with Plasma 5.

bkk: Your error looks a lot to me like you built the package as root. This happens when you do something like "sudo makepkg -s" or "makepkg -s" from a root shell. You should build the package as a regular user. You should install them as root.

Hi, I am getting the error: cp: „/root/.config/autostart/“ can not be created: Is not a directory Not sure how to investigate further...
