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.

hmm, works fine over here. Looks like some conflict with a cache file. Try deleting that .dropbox.cache folder or its contents in your Dropbox.

This version is failing for me to start, with an error like: Traceback (most recent call last): File "core/authenticate.py", line 659, in authentication_thread File "core/authenticate.py", line 71, in handle_register File "core/databases.py", line 722, in load_dropbox_filecache File "core/file_cache.py", line 850, in __init__ File "core/file_cache.py", line 833, in _create_connhub Exception: Not a valid FileCache file I also renamed .dropbox to set it up again but same problem, so I guess it's a problem in the version or something in my system..

@luolimao: thanks for the suggestions, I will update the PKDBUILD accordingly in the soon (1.4.12 only adds support for osx mountain lion so there is no rush) @kitenski: dropbox won't run on arm. this is NOT open source and dropbox provides only i686 and x86_64 binaries.

luolimao commented on 2012-08-03 18:55 (UTC)

Btw, the bzip2 dependency is also unnecessary (gtk2 depends on it). Also, since bzip2 is part of the base group (which is assumed to be installed on all systems) it would be unnecessary anyway.

luolimao commented on 2012-08-03 18:40 (UTC)

mtorromeo, the lines in the PKGBUILD that say . find "$pkgdir/opt/dropbox/" -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; and . chown -R root:root "$pkgdir/opt/dropbox" are unnecessary; all the folders' permissions are already drwxr-xr-x (i.e. 755), and the owner of the folder is root:root after the package is installed. Also, lines 5 and 6 in dropbox.desktop could be changed from . Exec=/opt/dropbox/dropboxd . Icon=dropbox.png to . Exec=dropboxd . Icon=dropbox due to the /usr/bin/dropboxd soft link and how /usr/share/pixmaps is set up. Once you up the version to 1.4.12 and change the desktop file, the md5sums lines would become . md5sums=('3488299b1d91591d3a5ba7e2c02ec220' '9ec50da2ce59ed8c17606394b9c5e1c0' '20c97082211cf02af494043b93d5feb8' '5331288d5f5972dc2e9311d0f28dac76') . [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && md5sums[0]='a54dd81749c02157f1691ef4ac570305' In other words, the PKGBUILD file would look like this: http://pastebin.com/2ZjJTMj6

Sorry for dumb question, but this is the first time using an AUR package. I've downloaded and extracted this tarball. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dr/dropbox/dropbox.tar.gz I then run makepkg -s but I get this error: ==> ERROR: dropbox is not available for the 'arm' architecture. Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD such as arch=('arm').

worked fine, thanks.
