Installing Ubuntu perfect, everything works fine, and start to sync my Dropbox folder... And oh, surprise. Could not see the icon. Then I remembered that now I had to display the Notification area. I tried upgrade to the latest version and still did not receive the icon.
So I searched and found this solution that can enable the display of Dropbox, or AppIndicator, which will display on our desktop client.
To download, follow these steps:
Open a terminal and dropbox process ends with :

Delete the folder dropbox settings on our team (the same as delete when we update dropbox):
rm -r ~/.dropbox-dist
Download the latest version of Dropbox, supporting AppIndicator. If you have 32-bit writes:
cd
wget http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86-1.1.7.tar.gz
tar -xvf dropbox-lnx.x86-1.1.7.tar.gz
If you have 64-bit command cd
wget http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1.1.7.tar.gz
tar -xvf dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1.1.7.tar.gz
Now start with Appindicator Dropbox:
dropbox start
If all goes well, they'll see this:
dropbox start
If all goes well, they'll see this:
See? Very easy.

Hi,
ReplyDeletethanks for the hint on how to get dropbox to work with natty. I think i got an easier solution:
stop dropbox daemon, remove ~/dropbox-dist and then start the daemon again, using dropbox start. This will automatically install the latest client.
The http address didn't work, however dropbox supplied the answer. After deleting ~/.dropbox-dist simply run: dropbox start -i
ReplyDeletethanks!!!
