Ubuntu headless install not working
I'm trying to do the Linux headless install as described at https://www.dropbox.com/install on an Ubuntu 16.04 workstation. It works until I get to the point in the instructions that say "If you're...
Assuming that this is not caused by an antivirus, firewall or VPN/proxy setting on this specific machine, I'll need to ask: have you downloaded the Python script from that page as well tn3?
If possible, could you change your default browser and try again too?
PS: For a list of all the system requirements take a look below:

I think you are looking in the correct direction, but I don't understand your instructions.
My situation is that I am using Chrome Remote Desktop to log from a Mac into the headless Linux instance. In CRD I see a simulated desktop, I can launch terminal windows, browsers, etc. In Chrome in my Mac I have popups allowed. I also have popups allowed in the Chrome browser in the Linux instance. During installation of the daemon I see popups from the installation process appear in my CRD window. Thus, I would expect that if it wanted to pop up a window giving me a URL link to log into Dropbox, it would have appeared. No?
So given this setup, what do you suggest I do? What do you mean by "Just go there and declare you would like to connect". How? Or on which machine would I execute
ssh levoy@localhost
?
It worked! Thank you *so* much! I ssh'ed from the Linux instance to @localhost, then re-ran your commands, and it gave me the link to copy/paste into the browser on that Linux instance.
Could you take one more minute, and explain to me why that works?
What does this ssh'ing to localhost do?
