dropbox does not start after recent upgrade on gentoo linux
Hi there. I am using dropbox for about 10 years. A few days ago my gentoo linux PC was upgraded its python version to python-3.11. The following i see when i try to start dropbox. Any ideas why? ...
Thank you Walter.
That was the solution i was looking for.
What i did follows: install dropboxd diamond, python dropbox.py start -i.
This starts at the samet time the dropbox client.
I just had to connect my dropbox account to my computer dropbox location.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey ngorelen, sorry to hear about this.
Could you send us a screenshot of the exact error you're getting so that we can have a look too?
Any additional information is more than welcome!
Hi Walter, thanks for a quick reply. I am getting exactly what i wrote you:
kol3#log> dropbox

this is you can see from the screenshot below.
Walter, i was thinking about the record of those error messages which dropbox can save somewhere in my directories, such as ~/.dropbox ? But i could not find any.
The screen error message is saying "Failed to run Python command". Is there a way to give dropbox a specific instruction which python to run? I worry that it tries to run the latest python-3.11, which may give those errors. Perhaps i can change some scripts for running dropbox?
