When testing with the servicemenuinstallation script: servicemenuinstallation /path/to/124416-DropboxServiceMenu-0.15.2.tar.gz
I did notice that the only place where the ruby script can find the servicemenu installation scrip is the /media/sda6/... If the servicemenu tar ball is in the: /home/rog131/.kde/share/apps/servicemenu-download -> fail /tmp/ -> fail /media/sda5/ -> fail /media/sdb3/ -> fail The permissions of the directories seems to be same (?) A workaround at here is to make a symlink from the ~/.kde/share/apps/ to the /media/sda6/ Now the "ls -l /home/rog131/.kde/share/apps/" tells: lrwxrwxrwx 1 rog131 rog131 36 2011-01-28 13:12 servicemenu-download -> /media/sda6/tmp/servicemenu-download After this the Dolphin "Dowmload New Services" is working.
