Dropbox will not start when launched as a user that is authorized to launch it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install dropbox with the -X use flag. 2. Launch dropbox start 3. Actual Results: $ dropbox start Couldn't start Dropbox. This is usually because of a permissions error. Storing your home folder on a network share can also cause an error. Get more help at https://www.dropbox.com/c/help/permissions_error Please contact Dropbox support with the following info for help: /tmp/dropbox_errorqissbl.txt I installed dropbox following the instruction on the Gentoo Dropbox page: [url]https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dropbox[/url] Since I do not want to compile GUI support, I used the -X USE flag. Dropbox cannot start if launched during an X session (see result above). Though it mentions a possible permission error, I am not so sure, as I do have right on the Dropbox directory on my account. Furthermore the following excertp of the error file contains: sys_executable: '/opt/dropbox/dropbox' real_path='/opt/dropbox/dropbox' mode=0100755 uid=0 gid=0 parent mode=040755 uid=0 gid=0 trace.__file__: '/opt/dropbox/library.zip/dropbox/client/ui/common/boot_error.pyc' real_path='/opt/dropbox/dropbox/dropbox/client/ui/common/boot_error.pyc' not found parent not found tempdir: '/tmp' real_path='/tmp' mode=041777 uid=0 gid=0 parent mode=040755 uid=0 gid=0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "dropbox/client/main.py", line 5050, in main_startup File "dropbox/client/main.py", line 2173, in run File "ui/common/uikit.py", line 473, in create_ui_kit File "dropbox/client/ui/qt/__init__.py", line 13, in <module> File "PyQt5/QtCore.py", line 23, in <module> ImportError: No module named None There is no file /opt/dropbox/dropbox/dropbox/client/ui/common/boot_error.pyc on my machine. Also, I am not sure what is this "None" module it is complaining about.
I'm also affected by the same error with -X set for dropbox. Do not have QT5 installed at all. happend both for 14.3.17 and (~)17.3.28 toggling librsync-bundled does not change anything. sys_executable: '/opt/dropbox/dropbox' real_path='/opt/dropbox/dropbox' mode=0100755 uid=0 gid=0 parent mode=040755 uid=0 gid=0 trace.__file__: '/opt/dropbox/library.zip/dropbox/client/ui/common/boot_error.pyc' real_path='/opt/dropbox/dropbox/dropbox/client/ui/common/boot_error.pyc' not found parent not found tempdir: '/tmp' real_path='/tmp' mode=041777 uid=0 gid=0 parent mode=040755 uid=0 gid=0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "dropbox/client/main.py", line 5615, in main_startup File "dropbox/client/main.py", line 2309, in run File "ui/common/uikit.py", line 546, in create_ui_kit File "dropbox/client/ui/qt/__init__.py", line 13, in <module> File "PyQt5/QtCore.py", line 23, in <module> ImportError: No module named None
Ok, I managed to fix it. Here are the steps 0) service dropbox stop 1) install dropbox-cli. 2) dropbox-cli start -i (it will download new dropbox to ~/.dropbox-dist 3) link again via gui (but it was linked before i updated) I wonder how it starts a gui if ebuild deletes qt libraries? is it gui provided by dropbox-cli? 4) dropbox-cli stop 5) rm -rf ~/.dropbox-dist 6) install -dm0 ~/.dropbox-dist 7) emerge -C dropbox-cli 8) service dropbox start and now it works and syncs files. I believe this error was caused because authorization expired somehow on update. If it cannot be fixed maybe mention that it has to be re-linked to account in a message after emerge?
I have the same problem. Dropbox is with "-X" installed. Installing dropbox-cli didn't work for me.

So it would appear that even the headless -X mode of dropbox still requires PyQt5, do you think I should stop removing those bundled copies? https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/net-misc/dropbox/dropbox-94.4.384.ebuild#n69
at least I can confirm that removing pyqt5 and PyQt5 in the ebuild resolves the issue.

Ok I have applied that change. If someone using dropbox[-X] would like to look into which PyQt5 files CAN be safely removed, so that -X users can get a smaller install size but it still runs, I'm very open to that. But it's apparent that just removing *PyQt5* *pyqt5* is too much.
Is anyone successfully using dropbox[-X], without a new auto-upgraded copy in .dropbox-dist ? I am testing here and it fails due to missing libGL.so.1, among other things. I'm not sure -X is really working at all here.
