Comment 2 Kevin White 2008-09-11 23:50:55 UTC
What is Dropbox?

Dropbox is a desktop application (for Windows, Mac OS X, and now Linux) and storage service that just works. It's the easiest way to share and store files online and keep files in sync across your computers 
Comment 3 George 2008-09-12 08:32:23 UTC
Installed fine, missing ~amd64 keyword though. And it doesn't have a full path, like 'net-www/nautilus-dropbox'. Other than that it installed fine and works great. I'll put up my slightly updated ebuild with the ~amd64 keyword in a minute.

Same thing, with ~amd64 flag.
Comment 5 George 2008-09-12 08:47:39 UTC
Ok, one more update...

"dropbox is CLI. That is, you don't have to run nautilus with plugin to make dropbox work. Just run ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd as daemon and it should work. You won't have any notifications though. "

From one of the devs. Someone should make an init script so we could just have the daemon run in the background... it still has to run the GUI at least once to set up the account, but that would be useful for people not on gnome (as nautilus autostarts the daemon).
Comment 6 Pascal Hartig 2008-09-12 14:55:53 UTC
Works fine. Thanks for the ebuild!
Comment 7 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-09-13 14:52:31 UTC
src_unpack(), src_compile() and src_install() should default nicely so you don't need to include them in the ebuild. Try pinging a few Gentoo gnome developers to gain their interest in this package.
Comment 8 Dmitry Dzhus 2008-09-13 17:40:34 UTC
(In reply to comment #7)

Indeed, just make sure `gnome2` eclass is inherited and this ebuild will install smoothly without a single `src_` custom function in it.

gnome-extra/nautilus-dropbox-0.4.1

I updated the ebuild to have a debug use flag (since configure.ac has support for it). I also cleaned up RDEPEND vs DEPEND flags (everything is needed to compile nautilus-dropbox) and whitescape.
Comment 11 Sebastián González 2008-09-28 12:05:16 UTC
I confirm, it works fine.  Thanks a lot !

Comment 13 Joe Sapp (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-15 23:13:37 UTC
How about app-backup for a category?  From metadata.xml:
"The app-backup category contains tools for performing backups of data, including both full and incremental backups, as well as backups to other media (CD-R, Tape, etc.)."

Better than net-www I think ("The net-www category contains various WWW clients that have not yet moved into www- categories.")

Updated 0.5.0 ebuild

This adds the group dropbox so you can include only the users who wish to use the nautilus dropbox client.
Also adds DOCS and fixes LICENSE (or at least gets closer to what it should be).

There is a bug with this ebuild : dropbox can't start, I have this error in .xsession-error :

** (nautilus:6724): WARNING **: /usr/lib64/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so: Can't open shared object: Permission not allowed (translated from french)

I had to chmod +x and +r dropbox files in /usr/lib64/nautilus/extensions-2.0 to make dropbox working.

You didn't mention whether you added your user to the group 'dropbox' or not.

You get that error even when the user is in the correct group or not, however removing the offending lines in the ebuild, or chmoding the files lets it install and work fine.

A different *working* method is needed for per user usage, if it is needed at all

!!! /usr/portage/local/selflay/app-backup/dropbox/nautilus-dropbox-0.5.0.ebuild does not seem to have a valid PORTDIR structure.

cd /usr/portage/local/selflay/app-backup; mv dropbox nautilus-dropbox; cd nautilus-dropbox; ebuild foo.ebuild manifest

You have wrong dir.

Comment 31 Jose daLuz 2009-05-12 23:44:33 UTC
0.6.1 doesn't work for me. It never starts up, and if I run "dropbox start" I get:

This may be related to gtk+ being at 2.16.1 but pygtk being at 2.14.1. I filed bug 269632 to add the development version of pygtk in case that fixes the issue as the announcement states it supports the gtk+ 2.16 API.

Did you upgrade?
Did you delete ~/.dropbox-dist ?

Comment 40 Marco Bobbi 2009-08-31 22:23:19 UTC
I've a problem with dropbox.
I installed the 0.6.1 ebuild, but when I start it the tray icon shows up with a red x and the status is:

Can't access Dropbox folder
Indexing...

I have another pc (ubuntu) with it installed and all is ok. I don't know why it doesn't work on the gentoo one.
I tryed to reinsert email and password, reinstall the package with "emerge -v1", restart the computer, but nothing changed.
Can someone help me?

Don't know if this will help.
Close every instance of dropbox currently running.
Go into your home dir and delete .dropbox-dist.

Re-launch dropbox with -i parameter (dropbox start -i) and re-download it.

Let us know if this solves your problem :)

I've already tryed, however I repeated the operation, with the same result.

I add two details:

1. when I launch "dropbox start -i" after the emerge, at the end of download and installation, it gives the error

"Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x***)!"

and I can't do anything. But restarting the system it doesn't appear anymore.

2. (after 1) when I launch "dropbox start" in order to insert email and passwd and create the folder in my home, at the end of the operation the red x shows up near the tray icon along with "Can't access Dropbox folder Indexing...". In addition to this I receive the bash message

"(nautilus:2508): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: Could not initialize inotify"

but also in this case it happens only the first time: if I stop&start dropbox it disappears.
Comment 44 Fabiano Francesconi 2009-09-03 00:08:38 UTC
libXinerama should be added as dep (otherwise tray icon won't work)
Tomorrow morning I'll update the ebuild to pull it.

@Marco
Do you have libXinerama installed? If not, try install it while I update the ebuild on sunrise (that still has to be reviewed so far).
Comment 45 Marco Bobbi 2009-09-03 08:06:19 UTC
Yes, I have libXinerama-1.0.3

Anyway the errors I get about graphic libraries happen only one time, then they disappear: the first after rebooting, the second after restarting dropbox.
So I don't know if they are the cause of dropbox not working.

I did a fresh install on my laptop.
libXinerama is surely a missing dep (thank you @  Christopher Loessl).

However, I get the same problem as you have. 
""Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x***)!" happens the first time, as you said, and this leaves you without being able to click on dropbox tray icon.

I did a "dropbox stop && dropbox start" and everything started running smooth.

I don't think it's strictly related to dropbox (since this is not Windows, there's no need to reboot the system to so such a things).
However this problem should be better analyzed

In my case that error disappears only if I reboot; doing stop && start doesn't work.

But the real problem is another and comes after, as I said: the red x and the message "Can't access Dropbox folder Indexing..." as dropbox status.
So I can't use dropbox.

Do you have the same problem with your laptop? Or does your dropbox work, after stop & start?

No, I didn't have any problem but that.
Are you sure you've linked your computer to the account? Or maybe you have permission problem.

"Can't access Dropbox folder" can mean two things:
1. Dropbox can't access the _remote_ folder
2. Dropbox can't access the _local_ folder

Don't know if this problem is ebuild related, you should do a search on upstream forum.
Comment 49 michael 2009-09-24 07:40:17 UTC
Hi

I've exactly the same problem. Using nautilus-dropbox 0.6.1 from sunrise overlay. 
After initially starting dropbox, entering my username and password, the message "dropbox has been connected to your account" (or something similar) appears. Furthermore I get the following messages:

Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkOptionMenu::indicator-size' of type `GtkRequisition' from rc file value "0" of type `glong'
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkOptionMenu::indicator-spacing' of type `GtkBorder' from rc file value "0" of type `glong'

(nautilus:6964): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: Could not initialize inotif

Then, dropbox status outputs the following message:
Can't access Dropbox folder
Indexing...


What I can say for sure:
* My dropbox account is valid and works alright. I've been using an older version of dropboxd from within KDE
* Accessing the local folder should work since I've been running dropboxd as root for testing purposes
Comment 50 Fabiano Francesconi 2009-09-24 12:33:59 UTC
Could you check the following command?

zcat /proc/config.gz| grep -i inotify
CONFIG_INOTIFY=y
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y

Maybe Dropbox needs this setting enabled (in particular CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER has to be enabled).

@Marco Bobbi
Could you check that too?

Yes, that's the problem.
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER was not set.
Now works well.

Hurrrray! Finally figured out what was the problem!

It would be proper to make dropbox separetly and plugins for file managers separetly or use flags even for them =)

It took sometime to me to think about this and I haven't pop out with a solution.
I asked to some gentoo guys for some advices regarding this and the things they said were that the solution proposed by dropbox ( http://wiki.getdropbox.com/TipsAndTricks/TextBasedLinuxInstall ) shouldn't be done by the ebuild itself.
One of those guy said that maybe should be performed by ebuild --config command but, I don't master ebuilds knowledge so well to provide that functionality.

However I'm still working on this and I wish to say that if someone pops out with a nice idea/implementation, I can work on that :)

Actually we have dropboxd (daemon) only, it's official. u just copy it to your dir and use it, the problem i want it installed on system that i can use it by several users and not just install manually for each one and use ~/.dropbox/config as config, where i set directory and user/pass

yup. that's what I meant. This is a sweet solution but I'll have to discuss about it with some dev. Furthermore there are some other commands to issue and some python script.
Another problem could be "what if I want allow only a few users to use dropbox?" maybe the options or whatever can adjust it's behaviour, but it's quite dirty, IMHO, to put into users' home that symlink.

Tried to explain on their forum (as u see my english is not so good), it have be dropbox group, so if u add user, only than he can use, also i think we can just make symlink dropbox to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin, we just need to ask them to add option to check if user in group

we just need to find out how is in charge of linux version and talk to him, or even use own own daemon if they can provide us with api, it's even better for them to have more configurable daemon that people will add their own clients and it would be more popular
Comment 63 Neil 2009-11-11 07:19:20 UTC
Hi,

Having trouble installing under my user account.  Installation was fine on one computer, but on a second, running 'dropbox start -i' invokes the download, but when thats complete no dialog appears to finalise the installation with login details etc.  Strange thing is it runs fine as 'root'.  Tried then copying over the files from /root/.dropbox* to ~/.dropbox* and changing permissions, but these aren't recognised and I'm told dropbox hasn't been installed, try installing and the above happens?

Any thoughts/pointers welcome
Comment 64 Fabio Bonfante 2009-11-24 00:59:39 UTC
i've two system gentoo-amd64 with ideally the same configuration (regarding the installed packages... use flags... kernel...)
One of them has the same problem "Can't access Dropbox folder
Indexing..." (i'll call this computer B)
In both system i've inotify enabled
CONFIG_INOTIFY=y
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y

Regarding the kernel configuration in the working system A there's also
CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y
not in computer B.

I'll try adding this option, someone with a working dropbox could check if this option is enabled in his system?  
Comment 65 Fabio Bonfante 2009-11-26 15:58:18 UTC
errata... both systems have 
CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y
different grep command... sorry... and now after logout and login all seems back to normal

p.o.s. dropbox daemon

I finally got this piece of crap working as a "daemon" on a system without X, gtk, qt, kde or gnome installed.  You still need to create the config folder on a machine with a GUI but you should be able to just copy it over after installing this ebuild.

There is no src code for this app so I cant patch it to clean it up.  Complain to dropbox please.

Not true, see https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?os=lnx where there is a source tar-ball for download (version 0.6.2).

Be great to see this in portage (although its still a pain that it relies on nautilus for non-GNOME users).

I am referring to the CLI only version (>=0.7.110) that does not require  nautilus and half of gnome.  I already tried to patch the source code that is available but nautilus support is pretty ingrained in that release; patching would require a total rewrite.

Hopefully when 0.7.xxx release is finalized the source code will be released and we can do things like automatically setup the database, relocate the configuration folder and run the daemon as root.

Ahh, ok, my mistake, sorry for the misunderstanding.
Comment 71 Aaron Burnett 2010-07-22 19:02:07 UTC
I tried the latest ebuild, and am getting the following segfault in syslog-ng:

kernel: [ 4703.510973] dropbox[13347]: segfault at 109 ip 00007f0e234b998c sp 00007fff620be750 error 4 in libssl.so.0.9.8[7f0e23492000+4f000]

This is received when running "dropbox start -i".  Anyone else seen this?  I also recompiled openssl just in case something got broke, but the problem persists.

I encountered this too.  You can fix this yourself by...

1. Rename the renamed tar-ball back to its original...

mv /usr/portage/distfiles/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7.tar.bz2._checksum_failure_.UIsM6j /usr/portage/distfiles/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7.tar.bz2

2. Forcing rebuilding the ebuild Manifest

ebuild --force /var/lib/layman/sunrise/gnome-extra/nautilus-dropbox/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7.ebuild manifest

3. Emerging

emerge -uDNa nautilus-dropbox
Comment 78 Fabiano Francesconi 2010-12-16 22:45:39 UTC
I have updated the manifest on sunrise overlay.

I guess this is Dropbox's fault.
Comment 79 Fabiano Francesconi 2010-12-16 23:11:09 UTC
We decided to "downbump" (meh) to the v0.6.4 because this is the one actually published on their website.

We will await for v0.6.7 to become stable before giving you that version.
Comment 80 Andreas Oehler 2010-12-17 17:44:47 UTC
Hi,

although it is nice to have this in the sunrise overlay,
how are the plans to have this in the standard portage tree?
Still too bleeding edge for ~arch? 
Sounds there are quite some problems occuring with each new version?

Thanks and cheers

From my point of view its not a matter of bleeding edge but a matter of complications.  The GPL part of the program downloads a proprietary daemon, which it cannot function without.  That deamon is something you may dump somewhere as a user, but as a distributor you cannot do that.  The fact that it's not in the main tree probably means that either no Gentoo dev is using it or not Gentoo dev is willing to fight with binary mess shipped.  Just my 2 cents, though.

Who is we?  Where have you downbumped it?

0.6.7 is linked at the official site now.

Nevermind, now figured.

Btw I have contacted upstream so they know checksum changes are a problem to us. So no more excuses :-)
