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.

Made a workaround to change Dropbox path and have funcional dropbox-cli commands, inspiration and information about startup script etc from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Multiple_Dropbox_Instances Basicly the alias "dropbox" just temporarily changes your $HOME before running a dropbox-cli command to make it adopt that home aswell. The way I did it ofc depends on dropbox-cli which is linked to above. Btw, when you install notice the recent PKGBUILD update by bruce! I think it's possible to start the daemon etc without cli in the same manner as long as your $HOME is set right. And also this can be extented upon to make working for multiple dropbox instances. But that's for you to figure out if you want. Anyways the difference from normal dropbox-cli command execution compared to the new way will be: old way: /usr/bin/dropbox start <enter> new way: dropbox <enter> start <enter> So just add this below to your .bashrc and set your own dropbox_path (if on other partition make sure it's mounted with the right permissions). The only thing that i've found does NOT work is the "autostart" option which also can be worked around in many ways (link above) #******************************** # Redirect dropbox-cli commands # to change Dropbox's home path #******************************** dropbox_path="/mnt/data" user_path="/home/`logname`" dropbox_cli='/usr/bin/dropbox' set_home_dropbox="HOME=$dropbox_path" set_home_home="HOME=$user_path" alias dropbox="read -p '[Dropbox@'"$dropbox_path"']> ' input;\ $set_home_dropbox; $dropbox_cli \$input; $set_home_home;"

I just disowned the dropbox-daemon AUR package as I have moved to systemd, and it's really easy to set up dropbox as a daemon with it. If anyone's on initscripts and wants to adopt the package, now's your time. Also, if you do want to run dropbox as a daemon under systemd, just make a service file with the following contents: [Unit] Description=Dropbox [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/bin/dropboxd ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID KillMode=process Restart=always User=<desired username> [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

@twa022 Couple of typos fixed: http://pastebin.com/e0xCL5dr

possible to include something like this at /opt/dropbox/nautilus for different file managers? http://pastebin.com/k0qSifVL

Like Nerga I also couldnt change the Dropbox location in 1.4.17, however I went on to build 1.4.12 and it still doesn't work! mkdir /tmp/dropbox && cd /tmp/dropbox wget --quiet -O - 'http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/tree/dropbox?id=b19a54c808554c796f310747725ad2ff4291e44a' | grep -o "/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/[^']*" | sed -e 's/^/http:\/\/pkgbuild.com/' > files wget -qi files ls | sed -n 's/\([^?]*\)\(.*\)/mv "\1\2" "\1"/p' | sh makepkg -s pacman -U dropbox*.pkg.tar.xz

does anyone experience a segfault?

Narga commented on 2012-09-08 00:37 (UTC)

I don't know why but since Dropbox 1.4.17, it's can't change Dropbox location

mtorromeo commented on 2012-09-03 12:12 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, I updated the package.

I couldn't find anywhere on the dropbox site where they published md5sums of their downloads so I did my own checksum. Is that what you normally do when maintaining this package? Here is a git diff of PKGBUILD which worked for me using the md5sum I generated locally after downloading it manually. It works for me, but I've only tested on one machine and only on x86_64. I'm knew to trying to help with AUR packages, so I hope this helps. diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD index f6b1f81..93c581d 100644 --- a/PKGBUILD +++ b/PKGBUILD @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ # Contributor: Tom < tomgparchaur at gmail dot com > pkgname=dropbox -pkgver=1.4.12 +pkgver=1.4.17 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A free service that lets you bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily." arch=("i686" "x86_64") @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ _source_arch="x86" [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && _source_arch="x86_64" md5sums=('3488299b1d91591d3a5ba7e2c02ec220' '9ec50da2ce59ed8c17606394b9c5e1c0' '20c97082211cf02af494043b93d5feb8' '5331288d5f5972dc2e9311d0f28dac76') -[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && md5sums[0]='a54dd81749c02157f1691ef4ac570305' +[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && md5sums[0]='7a15923bae36f27387b6865c75701c2a' source=("https://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/${pkgname}-lnx.${_source_arch}-${pkgver}.tar.gz" "dropbox.png" "dropbox.desktop" "terms.txt")
