Dropbox stopped working on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS; advanced re-install did not help

Hi, I have been using DB for years; these days, I use it to sync files across 3 computers; all of them with a different version of Ubuntu Linux. On two of these computers, DB works great. However, o...

    Hi twometers,

    If you can't open Dropbox's site then the application can't be able to link any account and the problem isn't in Dropbox application, definitely, neither Ubuntu (not as a system, but can be some settings). Can you access some other (non company, external) site? You have to solve the network problem initially (wherever it is).

    Hope this gives some direction. :wink:

Did it resolve?

Nope... :-(

Support got in touch by e-mail, and recommended various things, but still no resolution in sight. For the record, things that I tried:

* advanced re-install, graphical user version:

https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/advanced-reinstall

* advanced re-install, command line user version (same page)

* same things, but from a new user account created from scratch

* same things, but with an old version of Dropbox, while protecting the folder to prevent auto-update, as recommended e.g. here:

https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-80-4-126/m-p/363862/highlight/true#M5428

* updating Ubuntu (now running 19.10)

* tried to install Dropbox instead on another computer, with Linux Ubuntu 16.04 installed, same problems.

Also I have been told to check whether:

* I use Boxifier (I don't)

* I run Drobpox from some corporate network (I don't)

I am now more or less convinced that there is some fundamental issue with current versions of Dropbox on Linux Ubuntu. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong!

    Hi witsend,

    That sounds really curious! Can you try something "from zero" (hope you don't have too much local files, if you have, keep/move them in advance)? Just some investigation. Stop any working application instance (if any). To be sure everything is from clear, execute following:

    killall dropbox
rm -rf ~./Dropbox ~/.dropbox ~/.dropbox-dist
ps ax -o pid,comm | grep dropbox

    Now everything should be almost like Dropbox application has never been installed. To be on same "line", post the command (together with the results, if any) in your next reply (same for the rest commands below). Next, download latest stable build and extract it on your home directory. Execute the following command:

    ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

    Open a new terminal window (or tab, as you like), wait a minute or two and try following:

    dropbox status
cat ~/.dropbox/dropbox.pid; echo
ps ax -o pid,comm | grep dropbox

    Execute the commands above sequentially and post exactly as they appear in terminal.

    Hope this could give us some clue/trace.

    Hi,

    OK, third re-install today! :-)

    First box went fine. Last line reports nothing, which means dropbox has been removed properly, I guess?

    Second box, running dropboxd from the terminal: the script hangs indefinitely after printing many "load fq extensions". I have to terminate it. (Ctrl-C). Then I can start it again (dropbox start) and it does not hang.

    Third box:

    1. dropbox status: "Connecting..."
    2. pid: 30944
    3. ps: 30944 dropbox

    So everything looks normal, except again I can't link Dropbox to my account.

    You didn't post all...

    Ok, is there response from 162.125.36.1? (i.e. "ping 162.125.36.1")

    Yes:

    Where I can know from where exactly stops execution and what exactly is the command output you have killed? I explicitly noted last command bunch to be executed in new terminal, not to kill anything!

    Ok, I'm up to here. I have no idea the internal application structure (I'm not Dropbox developer). So, can't guess what exactly is going on. Sorry. Let's hope some real Dropbox's expert (if any here) could help you.

    Hi, I'm having very similar problems (also using ubuntu 18.04, with 3 computers connected in total), and much the same issue of getting stuck while syncing small files, and tried many of the above mentioned solutions.

    I just tried the last recommendation, and it didn't work, I am appending the results. First, at the end of the installation I ran the 3 commands as requested:

    yuval@yuval-ubuntu:~$ dropbox status
    Syncing 10 files
    Uploading "FullRhs_SFW6.m"...
    Can't sync "FullRhs_SFW6.m"
    Syncing 9 files...

    yuval@yuval-ubuntu:~$ cat ~/.dropbox/dropbox.pid; echo
    13354

    yuval@yuval-ubuntu:~$ ps ax -o pid,comm | grep dropbox
    13354 dropbox

     

     

     

    and here is the full ouput of the installation:

    yuval@yuval-ubuntu:~$ killall dropbox
    yuval@yuval-ubuntu:~$ rm -rf ~./Dropbox ~/.dropbox ~/.dropbox-dist
    yuval@yuval-ubuntu:~$ ps ax -o pid,comm | grep dropbox
    yuval@yuval-ubuntu:~$

    Welcome to the club... :-)

    You indeed seem to have exactly the same problem; including (if I understand correctly) the fact you have to kill dropboxd the first time you run it.
    For me, none of the solutions posted on this or other threads seems to work so far. I am in touch with support, they asked me to send log files, maybe they will find a fix.

    Hi yuvi,

    In your case seems the daemon started successfully. Next, some other problem brings up, some problem related to communication between daemon and Nautilus plugin. Try uninstall your plugin, ensure all is clearred enough and install again latest version according your system (32 or 64 bit). After uninstall check that some files are gone, using following command:

    sudo rm /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so

    Will be ask for your password (sudo).

    Also seems there are some permission problems, related to some files ("FullRhs_SFW6.m" for example). You could try fix such issues one by one or try fix all together using following commands:

    sudo chown -R "$USER" "$HOME/Dropbox"
chmod -R u+rw ~/Dropbox

    Also, you can check if there are some symlinks, using following command:

    ls -alR ~/Dropbox | grep " -> "

    If some output brings up, check if links are compliant.

    Good luck.

    Hey, thanks for your help. I did the things you suggested, and it did not seem to have any change.

    I uninstalled the plugin (at least I think I did, using the command "sudo apt-get remove nautilus-dropbox",

    I checked and the files were gone as you said:

     

    yuval@yuval-ubuntu:~$ sudo rm /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so
rm: cannot remove '/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove '/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so': No such file or directory

     

    and then installed it again (via some GUI that came up after I followed your link).

    I tried to fix the premission issues (using the 2 commands you gave), and it didn't seem to have an effect. I would be happy to try and fix it manually with 10 files, but I don't even know what the other 9 files are, and I checked with the one file I know about (FullRhs_SFW6.m), and it seems updated, so I don't really know what I should do about it.

    There is no symlink issues:

    yuval@yuval-ubuntu:~$ ls -alR ~/Dropbox | grep " -> "
yuval@yuval-ubuntu:~$

    and I also tried to restart ubuntu, but nothing there either.

    If it helps, here's the output from the last time I stopped and started dropbox:

    Am I wrong or some errors dissappeared now? What's resulting "dropbox status" now? :-?

    It seems the same to me, but maybe I missed something.

    dropbox status gives the same:

    yuval@yuval-ubuntu:~$ dropbox status
Syncing 10 files
Uploading "FullRhs_SFW6.m"...
Can't sync "FullRhs_SFW6.m"
Syncing 9 files...

    Try following:
    ls -alR ~/Dropbox | grep "FullRhs_SFW6.m"
    Let see the result.

    Wow... Everything looks fine. The file is pretty small. I have no more ideas. 😞 Seems like a bug 🐛, very similar to "one time update". Only Dropbox development can say what is really going on here (if they know what they're typing).
