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.

@jstjohn, rikmer: The issue is more likely to be that dropbox is started before X server.

jstjohn commented on 2013-06-18 19:03 (UTC)

rikmer, enabling a service tells systemd to start the service at boot but does not tell systemd to start the service immediately. They are two separate behaviors. You likely want to enable and start the service at the same time instead of doing one or the other. See this for more info: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Using_units

nautilus 3.8.2-1, nautilus-dropbox 1.6.0-1, dropbox 2.2.3-1 After following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Run_as_daemon_with_systemd and starting dropbox via "sudo systemctl start dropbox@<user>" everything works as expected. The icon shows in nautilus and in the system tray. BUT if the service is enabled via "sudo systemctl enable dropbox@<user>" only the icon in nautilus appears after a boot. The system tray is empty.

Looks like there's a 2.2.6 version also: https://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86-2.2.6.tar.gz

I didn't notice that it create folders on /tmp but at least it doesn't update my dropbox on home. Maybe inotify would help...

Is anyone else getting really annoyed when others comment on here when there's a new version available instead of just using the flag package out-of-date feature of the AUR (not that this is any less of an annoyance, for which I preemptively apologize)?

rafaelff commented on 2013-06-17 22:49 (UTC)

Version 2.2.3 available.

lahwaacz commented on 2013-06-11 11:56 (UTC)

@lestb: that doesn't solve the problem of downloading the tarball with newer version - see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1280513#p1280513

lestb commented on 2013-06-11 09:45 (UTC)

I typed this to disable autougrade of dropbox: mkdir -p ~/.dropbox-dist chmod 000 ~/.dropbox-dist

techlive commented on 2013-06-09 08:35 (UTC)

@lahwaacz Yes, it made systemd service restart over and over again.
