Do you see any SELinux denials?

Dropbox people managed (again) to ship badly built libraries with their 
program. The file _ctypes.so in the .dropbox-dist directory is (falsely) marked 
as requiring an executable stack which causes the program start to fail.

I just checked the latest stable version (x86-64) downloaded from their 
website and it's still broken. You can manually clear the execstack flag of the 
so, though.

$ execstack -c /path/to/your/.dropbox-dist/_ctypes.so

Dropbox should now be able to run. You may want to file a bug report with them.

Yes, I'm sure. In manpage of dropbox there is:
dropbox running
Returns 1 if running 0 if not running.

You are right that it's a little bit confusing.

Normally 0 is a successful exit code.  Are you sure that's the result you're

Hi,
it works for me. I use Gnome shell and dropbox icon is in the tray as
usually. Try to run 'dropbox running; echo $?' if it writes out '0' the
dropbox isn't running. In that case run 'dropbox start' and then
'dropbox autostart y'. If it is running and there still isn't the icon,
problem is elsewhere.

2012-03-01 Thread Benjamin De Kosnik

anybody have any luck with dropbox on F17 x86_64? It's not showing up in
the panel, but is in the applications->internet menu. When clicked, it
tries to install, but fails.
