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.

Do you mind adding the following line to your .desktop file? Otherwise KDE waits till timeout for a window to open when dropbox starts. StartupNotify=false

Yes but it tries to modify it at runtime, not at install time. It also asks you for your root credentials, and you shouldn't give them if you don't want dropbox to mess with your system. Anyway this is not a problem of the PKGBUILD, if this is an issue for you file a bug report upstream.

@Awebb You are right, the installer modifies /etc/fstab, although it asks you before if you want to "activate advanced features" or something like that, and then asks for the root password.

kjell commented on 2011-03-17 12:38 (UTC)

@Awebb: I backed up my fstab file before install, ran diff and I didn't find any changes.

Is there a reason why only dropboxd is linked to /usr/bin and not dropbox?
