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.

@anonymous_user: Yeah, I have rm -r .dropbox lots of time, the problem seems to be that the initial link screen simply doesn't show up. I'll wait for the next version to come out to try that one, if that doesn't work then I'll probably report a bug. Thanks for the help.

If Dropbox auto-starts, it doesn't connect properly for me, because apparently my system boots too fast for the network service to establish the LAN connection via DHCP in time. The whole boot process only takes about 7 seconds (thanks to a SSD :), including Dropbox. I solved the problem by adding "X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=5" to the .desktop file, which delays the start by 5 sec. Maybe you could add this entry by default to the .desktop file, as I guess other ppl might encounter the same problem and I think no one cares if their Dropbox starts 5 sec later. Thanks!

Try deleting your dropbox config and relink?

The program built from source shows the same problem >_< The dumbest thing is that I don't get even a single error message from anywhere. It simply does not do anything after displaying the systray icon...

@josephgbr Thanks for your time. I disabled ufw entirely (#sudo ufw disable) and it still hung. Did not reboot though, but I don't think it should be an issue. Also, if I read [1] correctly then I should not have to do anything at all, since I can use Chromium just fine. But I'm not good with networking stuff at all :p I will try to build the program from dropbox.com and see if it works. Still strange that it worked last time though...

@mariusmeyer: looks like you need to add this application's ports in the UFW. I googled and found this [1] and also this [2]. [1] https://www.dropbox.com/help/23/en [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uncomplicated_Firewall

Hello, I installed 1.6.12-1 using makepkg and pacman -U, but when trying to run dropboxd either from the app menu or from a terminal emulator the program just hangs. I get a systray icon which, when right-clicked, says "Waiting to be linked to an account..." The only entry from this right-click menu that does anything is "Quit Dropbox". It does not output anything to the stdout. I run gnome and -Syu dayly. I have checked that I own ~/-dropbox and have tried to remove and reinstall the package to no avail. How can I debug this? Is it a known issue? EDIT: I realize ufw might be at fault as this is the first time I've used it. What do I need to do in ufw to make Dropbox run as it should? Best regards
