Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pcmanfm
Not all Ubuntu variants use nautilus, the official dropbox client relies purely on nautilus so LUbuntu, Fluxbuntu and such need to install nautilus to get this running. I have made a script which will download and install the commandline dropbox which will work regardless of filemanager, This is a much more all encompassing approach rather than expecting nautilus to be available. The script does have one flaw whereby if the (default option) view dropbox folder then the script fails. Otherwise it will run as a service like cups, samba and similar and can be stopped / started using the service command Enjoy: #!/bin/bash cd $HOME SYSARCH=$(uname -m) if [ $SYSARCH == "i686" ]; then wget -O dropbox.tar.gz "http://www.dropbox.com/download/?plat=lnx.x86"; else wget -O dropbox.tar.gz "http://www.dropbox.com/download/?plat=lnx.x86_64"; fi tar -xvzf dropbox.tar.gz rm ./dropbox.tar.gz ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd & wget http://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/dropbox.py chmod 755 /usr/bin/dropbox.py sudo mv dropbox.py /usr/bin wget http://wiki.dropbox.com/TipsAndTricks/TextBasedLinuxInstall/UbuntuStartup echo "DROPBOX_USERS=\"$USER\"" > dropbox tail -n 76 ./UbuntuStartup | head -n 59 >> dropbox; echo "exit 0" >> dropbox rm UbuntuStartup chmod +x dropbox sudo mv dropbox /etc/init.d/ sudo update-rc.d dropbox defaults Works flawlessly in a vanilla install of Lubuntu. ** Affects: pcmanfm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/696302 Title: Dropbox without nautilus -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
