[Bug 1016559] Re: DropBox (nautilus-dropbox) installation hangs while downloading
Same bug on Ubuntu 14.04LTS (all sub-versions). Problem lies in the 'dropbox update' which is run during the installation and also will be run when users start dropbox while it is out-of-date. In python function 'download_file_chuck' a test is made: if progress == size: break which should have been: if progress >= size: break because the download chunk sizes will not always add up exactly to the number of expected bytes (i.e. size). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1016559 Title: DropBox (nautilus-dropbox) installation hangs while downloading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-dropbox/+bug/1016559/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Still an issue with a fully-up-to-date 12.04 Unity. install nautilus-dropbox via the dropbox.com official PPA, but cancel when it says to start. then install the actual DB binaries via the manual method from the website. if you have multiple accounts, must do this for EACH home folder - installs to .dropbox-dist most howto's talk about starting via the daemon directly (dropboxd) but I found as long as the nautilus-dropbox package completed OK dropbox start works just fine, but it is running the above daemon behind the scenes. http://askubuntu.com/questions/126198/how-to-install-dropbox -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1016559 Title: DropBox (nautilus-dropbox) installation hangs while downloading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-dropbox/+bug/1016559/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I tried all the other methods: Only this method as stated by previous user has worked for me: Commands: cd /usr/bin then sudo cp dropbox dropbox1 then create a new file called dropbox using command sudo gedit dropbox then write this: #!/bin/bash ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd then save and exit.

I was trying to use Dropbox on Ubuntu 12.04.

Hi guys, I might have found the problem. I tried to install dropbox on a fresh linux laptop but already copied my home directory to it. That contained the .dropbox-dist directory which caused a lot of problems. Completely purging dropbox with $ sudo dpkg --purge dropbox $ rm -r .dropbox-dist and installing from www.dropbox.com solved all the problems.

Marking the bug as fixed since this has been fixed on the server side and we don't need any change on the package. David, do you plan to reinstate the redirection to https at some point? If yes, we might still want to get the package updated in 12.04. Also the Debian freeze is close (30 June) so it would be good if I could get the updated version in Debian Wheezy. ** No longer affects: software-center (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: nautilus-dropbox (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1016559 Title: DropBox (nautilus-dropbox) installation hangs while downloading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-dropbox/+bug/1016559/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
