Hi Folks,
After having scouted around on the www for some hints as to how I can
get my Dropbox to run properly I have been unable to get it to return to
its original installed operation.
I am running (X)Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS, have found the Dropbox Icon has
disappeared and I can no longer use it to inspect the Dropbox folder
with the Dropbox options available eg right click and copy a Dropbox
share URL.
At the moment this is the icon that comes and goes as I stop and start
Dropbox from the command line (the red circle with a slash through it).
I am running the Indicator Plugin and it has a couple of functions
showing OK (Network, System, Audio all work OK), however there is no
Dropbox listed in the "Indicator apps". Clicking on the red circle icon
only makes a little single line shadow under it and nothing else.
I have completely un-installed Dropbox and then reinstalled, to no
avail, and also the same with remove/reinstall Indicator. I have
disconnected this machine from Dropbox via their website on another
machine, and then re-linked it again and no improvement.
I have tried various command line statements eg /dropbox stop/ and then
/dropbox start/ as well as /sudo dropbox stop &&
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="" dropbox start/ which did a restart and
removed the red circle but did not replace it with the proper Drop box
icon. When I ran the Dropbox application from the Applications Menu the
red circle icon returned.
As I am not a high level 'Nix user I have quickly hit a brick wall. If
anyone could help me debug my set up, or offer suggestions as to what I
could try, I would be very grateful.
Rob
