Re: [qubes-users] automatic start dropbox in VM
The only solution that solved my problem was to add the following line in this file '/home/user/.bash_profile': sh ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd & thanks a lot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

FWIW, after successfully installing dropbox using these steps: 1) 'rpm -Uvh nautilus-*' 2) 'dropbox start -i' (from a command line w/ a URL handler installed) 3) following authn instructions in the resulting browser window I found that I could get dropbox to start automatically at boot by adding this to /rw/config/rc.local and making it executable: sudo -c '/usr/bin/dropbox start' - user & Note: because dropbox is installed in the user's home dir, only step #1 above makes sense in the template; the others need to happen in the VM. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

May I ask how did you manage to make it work in the end? I am using this approach with dropbox but somehow cannot start it up. cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64"; | tar xzf - Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder. ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd My guess is that rc.local is executed as root. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
