Any one got dropbox going on  crunchbang-10-20111125 ??

When try it running it, it throws an error saying that it's not found :(

Edit: Do'h sorted it now, I didn't see the pipemenu before I replaced it with my custom one. All sorted now :)

I tried to install Dropbox using the WIKI page. Problem being I have 64 bit. I tried adding _64 to the given download link and it worked. Also after grabbing the 64 bit file, the process worked perfectly and Dropbox is all good.

Here is the link I used to grab the 64 bit version of the file.

Thank you for this...  :D

I followed the wiki and was going nuts trying to figure out what I did wrong... 

If there was a 64bit link on the wiki, I sure missed it

#!/bin/bash
exec thunar $@
exit 0

I found it needed to be changed to:

#!/bin/bash
exec thunar ${@/#--no-desktop}
exit 0

since Dropbox is now sneaking a "--no-desktop" in as the first argument. You could also use $2 but that might make it not work if you're not using the newest Dropbox. ${@/#--no-desktop} will work since it just takes out the --no-desktop if it's there.

I just wanted to share some cool stuff I learned about Dropbox on Linux today.

First, there's an entire Wiki section for Linux Tips & Tricks: http://wiki.dropbox.com/LinuxTipsAndTricks

Second, it has an official CLI found at http://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/dropbox.py. More info also found here: http://wiki.dropbox.com/TipsAndTricks/T … stallation

Finally, once you have the official CLI in place, you can force your Linux Dropbox client to update to the latest stable version using this series of commands:

dropbox.py stop
rm -r ~/.dropbox-dist   OR  mv ~/.dropbox-dist ~/.dropbox-dist-bak (just to be safe)
dropbox.py start -i

The Dropbox forums are full of all kinds of other goodies, too. I just thought this easy way to force an update was the best!

Is the "copy public link" supposed to work with Openbox/PCManFM?  There doesn't seem to be a dropbox entry in the right-click menu when you're in the public dropbox folder.

I've written this post where i describe thunar-dropbox, the same tool of nautilus-dropbox, link i've also asked to the mainteiner of this application if he could create a plugin for pcmanfm maybe :)

I can go to the dropbox website and upload, so it is working.

EDIT: I found what I omitted for installing properly:
I didn't click the executable :-)
It's working now, including the icon.

The Statler install script doesn't make that fake-nautilus thing in the wiki, and it still seems to work fine, on Openbox anyway. (It doesn't do that dbmakefakelib.py stuff from your link either - maybe that's only needed for xfce?.) On 9.04, though, without the fake-nautilus script links to files from the Dropbox system tray icon don't work. You definitely need the quotes round that "$@" btw.

Another difference is that the tool-tip info that pops up when you hover the mouse over the icon in Statler doesn't happen in 9.04.

Whatever, Dropbox seems to be working fine on both systems. :)

Shouldn't the $@ be better quoted, in case it gets passed a filename with spaces? ie:

#!/bin/bash
exec thunar "$@"
exit 0

Using the method in the wiki Nautilus isn't installed at all is it? Isn't that gconf stuff now redundant? Moreover, if someone does deliberately install it at some later point, mightn't those changes to Nautilus's default behaviour cause some confusion for them?

Dropbox does look very useful btw :)

Here is the link I used to grab the 64 bit version of the file.
