Install headless on Linux 20.04 RUST PANICKING
Hi - looking for ideas on this, as it is the first time I've seen it...
I download and install the client app on a Linux Ubuntu 20.04 server, set up on AWS. All seems to go well until I issue:
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
I get the following few lines of extensions loading, followed by an aborted start:
dropbox: load fq extension '/home/ubuntu/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-126.4.4618/cryptography.hazmat.bindings._openssl.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'

Is this a file permission issue, or something incompatible with Ubuntu 20.04? What would you suggest I do to investigate it? I've already followed the 'Advanced Re-install' procedure, but ended up at the same point. I've had this working on a non AWS server before, but just can't seem to get it working on AWS.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Same as everyone else. The answer here fixed my issue: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-to-configure-dropbox-on-ubuntu-20-04

Thanks @Hannah, since I was trying to switch to Raspbian and I had problems with dropbox I've gone back to Ubuntu Mate but I didn't get to try @wescpy's suggestion, I have no more problems.
