Debian Configuration :: Dropbox Install For Debian Squeeze From Source Code
Feb 19, 2011how to install Dropbox for Debian Squeeze from source.Please read everything before you begin. I prepared it as I installed Dropbox for my own system. Please Note: I use sudo, you may have to use root or 'su' from the command line. If you don't know the difference between sudo and su, then you shouldn't try this until you know. At the time I did this, the lastest dropbox version was 0.6.7.

Nov 9, 2014I added the following line to my sources.list
Code: Select alldeb [URL] ..... wheezy main non-free
and then after:
Code: Select allapt-get update
I run:
Code: Select allapt-get install nautilus-dropbox
but I got stuck (console freeze) and I had to reboot hoping to sort out somehow...
After reboot I try to apt-get again but I got the following message (my traslation)
Code: Select allE: dpkg was interrupted.
It's necessary to do "sudo dpkg --configure -a" for correcting the problem
So I went in the console again for that command and I get

Dropbox is the easiest way to share and store your files online. [URL] ....
but nothing fruitful seems to happen; and now how to proceed?
Debian :: How To Install Dropbox On Jessie PowerPC
May 31, 2015I am new using linux and don't have too much experience in terminal, however I am curious and work hard. I have an imac G5 powerpc with 2g processor, 768 mb ram and 232.7g hard disk. I recentrly installed debian 8.0.0 (jessie) with xfce environement. I have three other computers (two with xununtu runing and one with windows) using dropbox to sync all my work in differents places, so I use dropbox to get all synchronized. I don't want to change all the pc's to other cloud service, I would like to install dropbox in this machine.
I installed libnet-dropbox-api-perl, pear-channels and pho-dropbox packages from the synptic package manager with the hope to use dropbox...but I dind't even find something colled dropbox in the pc.
My question is: is it possible to install and use dropbox in this powerpc machine ? if yes, is there a tuto (for dumps) to get it ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Running Dropbox And GUFW From Root Terminal
Jan 7, 2016I'm brand new to Linux and perhaps foolishly jumped right into Debian (Jessie). I've managed to get Dropbox downloaded/installed/whatever the proper parlance is, but in order to access it I have to input Code: Select all~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd. When I close the root terminal, Dropbox disappears.There's no icons in the menu. Likewise with GUFW. It might be superfluous since UFW seems to be active whenever I check it through the root terminal. Is there any way to configure Dropbox to start automatically and maintain its status even if the root terminal is closed? I've looked around these forums and the internet in general and not found any similar problems. Also, I installed Spotify but whenever I click the icon nothing happens.

Apr 23, 2011I have a new install of OpenSuse 64-bit. I've stumbled around blindly and seem to have installed Dropbox using dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1.1.24.tar.gz. It apparently worked because I was able to enter successfully my Dropbox log-on information.
I have no idea what to do next. There's no indication of any synchronisation in Dolphin. Dropbox installation in Ubuntu/Mint is a no-brainer but this has me stumped.
General :: Using Dropbox With Mutt
Oct 28, 2010Have you used dropbox to sync your mail dirs? Was it a disaster? ... ? I have been using dropbox to sync across three ubuntu machines (two with 9.04, one with 10.04) and a windows vista machine, for about six months. I've seen a couple of oddities but am basically very happy with it. I pay for their 50GB store.
For email I use mutt and download (fetchmail) separately onto two of the ubuntu machines, outside the dropbox folders. It's a bit irritating maintaining two different mail dirs, but it does make for more security. I'm now thinking about putting the mail dirs into the dropbox folder. But if something then goes wrong with the syncing, it will be serious.
Ubuntu :: Dropbox Does Not Connect Automatically

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Script To Watch For Dropbox Changes?
Jun 24, 2010I have a series of system usability bash scripts that I sync with dropbox (and share with other friends that I have set ubuntu up on) and then have those folders sym linked to ~/bin. The problem is, when I change something on one computer, the scripts lose executability on other computers. First, I guess I will ask, is there a way to stop this from happening?
Failing that, is there a way that I can have Dropbox's events monitored so that when something is updated, it runs a script on my Script folder adding 'chmod +x' to all the bash scripts. This is the simple nautilus-script that I am currently using to easily batch change the modes:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#token: nautilus-script
for FILE in *
do
chmod +x "$FILE"

Here is my issue. I installed dropbox and removed it. I noticed in the first start of dropbox it installs a daemon called dropboxd. Is dropboxd removed when you uninstall? I uninstalled and purged. I just want to make sure the daemon is gone as well. Trying to be as tidy as possible. Less code rolling around the better.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Amazon Cloud Drive Vs Dropbox?
Jun 3, 2011I've been looking for a good alternative to Dropbox - just a little too pricey for me. And I just discovered Amazon Cloud Drive. Has anyone here had any luck setting up some sort of automated backup solution using Amazon Cloud Drive? I've been all over their site, but I just don't see any other way to access the cloud drive other then via their web interface.
Optimally, I am looking for a solution that will allow me to simply set up an rsync script or similar that would sync up a folder to a cloud drive every few days. Maybe their S3 tools can be used to do this?

Ubuntu :: Synchronise Folders / FTP (alternative For Dropbox)?
Aug 31, 2010I'm using a computer, and 2 notebooks. All off them have dropbox installed to synchronize my files, but i want more space. Luckily i have an FTP server at home, with more then enough space, and a lot off bandwith, but here it is: How do i synchronize a folder on my desktop/notebook with FTP?
All i want is a simple program that runs in the background, detects file changes, and upload it to the FTP. When a newer version is detected on the FTP, it should download it. When i delete a file localy, it should be deleted on the FTP, and delete it on the other workstations to. This way, every file is stored localy, so i can use it, whether i have internet access or not, and when i have internet access, it synchronizes everything.
On my desktop i run Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit, on my notebooks i run 9.04 x86. I can use the command line (once or twice), but after that, i want the process to run automated (like dropbox). Is there anything like that available? I've heard about rsync, but that doesn't seem to be automated. All the solutions i've seen so far, don't give me the same options and easy-to-use-interface as Dropbox. This question has been around for 2 or 3 years on the internet now, so i suppose there would be a nice simple program around about now.
