Syncing problem on one Linux
Hi all! After installing Dropbox v79.4.143 on Lubuntu 18.04 (64bit) I log in to my account and downloads start to ~/Dropbox folder normally. After downloading all my files, none changes in files det...
Hi Michael_XIII,
Take a look at "Early releases" in your general settings. Make sure they are turn off. Can you post results from following commands:
ls ~/.dropbox-dist | grep dropbox-lnx
ls -l ~/Dropbox | grep New\ Signifer
echo $USERWalter, Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu... all are same Linux distribution! Only difference between is default desktop manager, nothing more. Even more, you can install anyone of them and add additional or change desktop manager. The difference in the name is just for convenience and it's not a restriction! So, the statement "your exact distro (Lubuntu) is not currently supported" is not very consistent. Or may be I miss something :thinking: Is Dropbox restricted to particular desktop manager? This is missing in system requirements you mentions. (and that don't have to be in) :wink:
Hi Michael, I think I got the same issue as yours. Could you please tell me what do you mean by setting the correct permission on the directory by chmod? What is the exact command you use? Could you please discribe it in a more detailed way? Thank you very much!
Hi Mandy Xie,
Just navigate to your Dropbox directory in a terminal and run following:
chmod -R u+rw .
Or if you never changed the folder place, just run:
chmod -R u+rw ~/Dropbox
If there isn't something more than permission issues, this has to help. :wink:
Good luck.
Same problem for me, on Elementary os. I have 3 computer using Elementary and I had no problem with dropbox. But now on my 2009 macbookpro it stops sync after it downloads a lot of files. Simply the wheel turns, but the files are not downloaded and uploaded. I tried all the solutions indicated over here, but nothing worked...
