I've tried with the help of some older topics about Dropbox to install Dropbox. But for some reason Dropbox can't be installed no longer?? Or am I searching on the wrong place?? See screenshot.

View 1 Replies View Relatedhow 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.

and then after:

I run:

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

I 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 ?
i've installed dropbox from URL...i started the daemon and all seems run ok.Now i want to configure the selective syn but i can't see the dropbox icon in the menu bar.i need to select preference from dropbox icon. URL...where is the icon?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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.

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a USB hard drive after booting the desktop installer ISO on a USB flash stick. My laptop already had Windows XP installed on the internal hard drive and i did not load Ubuntu onto that disk. I can no longer boot the Windows OS. My laptop shows a grub rescue prompt with "no such device" error. I can mount the internal hard disk ("system drive") and see all the Windows files from within the Ubuntu desktop installer. Is there a way to restore my Windows system drive to boot or do I need to reinstall?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI think I may have finally killed my computer. My graphics card broke down a month ago, it was an XFX Nvidia 8600 GT. I swapped it out with an old 7600 GS, and it worked fine. XFX sent me an HD 4650 as a replacement, which I installed today. I powered my PC back on and it seemed to run fine but I had no picture, and the mouse didn't light up like it normally does. I put the 7600 GS back in and tried again. Nothing. I'm worried that the motherboard is malfunctioning or something. Does anyone have a clue what happened here?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed lucid lynx over a year ago on a IBM A20m laptop. I've been happily using ubuntu up to now until yesterday when I installed Tor and Torbutton. When I rebooted, I got a blank screen after the IBM startup routine. Thinking that somehow the system got corrupted by my Tor installation, I decided to reinstall lucid lynx from the CD. Surprise! The install CD also gives a blank screen!
I hit a key to get the menu and and the three first three choices all result in the same blank screen:
* Try Ubuntu without installing
* Install Ubuntu
* Check disk for defects
To help debug this, I tried setting the F6 option nomodeset and I removed "quiet splash" from the boot options.
When trying from the link which was in the applications menu, and manually from terminal I receive the following errors:

I have since tried the HOWTO: Install Azureus (newest, non-repo way) method of installing Vuze/Azureus, which I think is what I set up for 9.04, and also a synaptic complete removal and reinstall which didn't work.
I have an .azureus folder in my home dir which I would like to keep because it contains my settings and half downloaded torrents etc.
I would be happy to use the the synaptic packaged version of Vuze because it is much more up to date than it has been in the past.
It was running squeeze before it became stable. X was running fine and loading automatically on booting. Then I did not use it for some time. Then I ran apt-get updates and upgrades after squeeze became stable. A few packages were kept back. So I did aptitude dist-upgradeIt installed some things and maybe removed some things. After that it will boot only toconsole. When I do startx on the command line, X session starts and everything seems normal. But it will not boot to the GUI like before. I also checked in the Synaptic and saw xorg and xserver-xorg still installed
View 11 Replies View RelatedThis morning I upgraded two of my systems. The new 2.6.38 kernel fixed the missing pointer on the system that has an Intel video subsystem. Yay!

I'm running squeeze/testing. Two or three days ago I became unable to get my mail from pop.gmx.net. A bit of investigation and I found that the error message I was getting was: "could not resolve pop.gmx.net: Name or service not known". Now the funny thing is that I can ping, traceroute, or nslookup the site successfully. Telnet, rlogin and ssh give the same: "could not resolve pop.gmx.net: Name or service not known" error message.
I have tried using the IP address instead of the pop.gmx.net and everything works fine. There is no issue with connecting to pop.gmail.com on the same port. Obviously there is some cache somewhere with a messed up pop.gmx.net. Any idea as to how I can track this down?
I am running Wheezy 7.9 32 bit, with the kernel Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae, and Gnome 3.4.2 on an Intel Pentium CPU G3420 @ 3.2 GHz. I installed a new printer in August, an HP Officejet 7612 all-in-one printer/scanner/copier, and it worked perfectly as both a printer and a scanner first time, despite not being listed on the supported list in SANE. Two weeks ago, I got a general software update notification, and did the update. Now the scanner is not recognised. The printer still works fine as a printer, but when using Simple-scan, I get the error message "No scanners detected. Please check your scanner is connected and powered on". I have had a look round on Google, and all the suggestions made do not work.
I tried the suggestion to add myself to the scanner users list on my PC which made no difference (even though the scanner previously worked without my being added to the scanner users list).
I have deleted the printer and re-installed it using CUPS, but that still has no effect. I tried re-installing HPLIP also to no avail, and I have now lost the toolbox on the drop down menu under <Applications> <Accessories> <HP Toolbox>, as when I click on it, nothing happens.
It would seem that something in the update has messed up Simple-scan. Looking at the dpkg log (is this the right thing to look at?) for the date of the update, I cannot find anything which directly involved SANE, so I think that it might be something else which has affected SANE. How I can find out which update did the damage? I don't normally do anything except accept recommended updates, so I am a bit lost as to what to do.

A few weeks ago I created a cronjob which randomly changed my desktop wallpaper every two minutes. Here is that cronjob:
Code: Select all*/2 * * * * DISPLAY=:0 /home/alessandro/bin/random_wallpaper
Today, however, this cronjob stopped working. (The random_wallpaper script still works as intended.) The only changes I made to my system were
1) I modified my compton configuration settings; and
2) I installed a new display manager, SLiM.
I'm not sure why any of these changes would prevent my cronjob from running though.
I'm running a Debian squeeze system on AMD64, and with recent aptitude safe-upgrade the automounting of gnome/nautilus broke. Now if you click on a usbdrive it give this error: "Unable to mount 'volumelabel' Not Authorized".Previous it automatically mounted it, making/removing mount points as needed in /media, or you could mount by clicking on the drive icon in nautilus. (It varied a bit with package updates, but i didn't worry too much)Anyone got any ideas what could be wrong? I'm lost where to start, and systems nautilus or gnome-volume-manager use to mount things.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with my cd drive. It was working perfectly fine the last time I used it, a few weeks ago. It no longer spins up when I insert a cd it sounds like the laser keeps readjusting itself or something. The BIOS picks up the drive just fine, in the right place with the name.Nothing seems to have changed there. I think its a software issue and not a hardware one because I haven't touched the case or anything inside since I cleaned a month ago. I tried installing kvm and qemu a few weeks ago. However my hardware doesn't support it so I removed it. Could one of these programs have broken something? Is there a system log file this type of thing.

I have a problem. I'm using the latest Debian stable, Lenny. I am trying to get my usb wifi card working.
The Debian wiki advised me to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.30 using backports, because the drivers for my wifi chip are supposedly in the newer kernel.
So thats what I did. The install went fine. However, after rebooting the computer hangs when it is starting gdm. Only the desktop background appears with some fuzzy stripe over it, the mouse doesn't respond. Pressing ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing. I can only restart with ctrl+alt+del.
I can still use the computer with the old kernel. No problems there. I tryed disabling GDM and rebooting again with the new kernel. It boots up and works fine on command line. However when I type startx it hangs, just like before.
I'm not an expert, but I'm suspecting there might be problems with the graphic drivers in the new kernel.
When I installed lenny at first, X started fine. However 3d acceleration was not functioning. I got help from IRC, I had to install some package to enable direct rendering. Don't remember which one anymore.

There is something strange going on with Pidgin in Debian 6. I have just installed the system, then Pidgin, then configured my MSN accounts and chatted; but after rebooting, it no longer works. It just hangs while trying to connect - this is what I see from strace:

- a largish number of times. My very rough and ready thoughts about this so far are that it is probably not Pidgin that has an error, since 1) It worked initially, and 2) I am pretty sure the developers would have know about it very quickly if this was a general problem in Pidgin. On the other hand, my networking seems otherwise to be fine - s what is going on here?
