As an edit to my comment above, here is a complete, newbie guide to
getting it up and running.
First, install both the daemon and nautilus integration package from
www.dropbox.com/install
Install the .deb file and don't start it just yet. Then, use the command
below to install the daemon. The com
In response to my earlier workaround, you can very easily run it at
start-up. You must use the command I described above to start the
daemon. Just create a new start-up command and copy and paste:
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
Into the command box. Then, have it start up the nautilus integration.

I just hit this on a fresh Linux Mint 13/MATE install. Patrick's
explanation of how to get out of the infinite loop of dpkg --configure
-a calls was very helpful. Having a manual workaround is nice, but
you're going to get a lot of stuck newbies with this - hope you can
release the fix soon.

Evan, It turned out that, at least for me, your previous post implicitly
provided a work-around for this bug-in-Kubuntu's-Muon-Software-Center

I was able to get it to complete installation by a manual install,
however it is not showing up on my taskbar even by pulling it up through

The actual patch is to replace the os.read(f.fileno(), 4096) with
f.read(4096)

So it turns out it has to do with redirecting http to https and the
downloader is actually trying to read the encrypted data. We're working
on a workaround that won't redirect to https so that the current code
will work. And we'll also put out a new package that will fix the
problem soon. Sorry a
Just for completeness, I informed Dropbox of this problem and I'm
waiting some news from them (David Euresti in particular, I just
subscribed him to this bug). It's not really specific to the Ubuntu
package, the dropbox wrapper fails in the same way when you run "dropbox
start -i" for the first tim
Vim, have you started the Dropbox daemon yet? On my system I ran in
terminal:
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
As well as running the nautilus part of Dropbox. Running both of these
together gave me the icon in the system tray, as well as notifications.
I don't know if it would be different in Kubuntu
Thank you Evan. I still don't understand what a "lock" is. But your
hint to kill a process and your mention of the System Monitor got me to
run the System Monitor. The most CPU was used by a process called
"dropbox". I selected to end that process, was asked for my password,
and thus succeeded
Vim, I'm learning too, but when I ran into that problem, I found that I
was able to free up the lock by using the system monitor and then
locating the process using it. I tried to end it in the GUI, however
root was the owner, so I used:
sudo pkill PROCESS
And that seemed to clear up the issue
Patrick, After doing the first of your 3 steps I got the message:
dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process
I'm still learning about Linux. It's not obvious to me what I should do
next. Any help is appreciated. Vim

Thank you so much Patrick! I am sad to hear that Dropbox still hasn't

I've already installed it following a similar procedure I found on the

Thanks for your suggestions anyway!

Hello Evan, I solved the problem you have by doing the following:
1. Run, as you did before:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
2. Press CONTROL+C to before the download of Dropbox tries to do anything.
3. Remove dropbox:
sudo apt-get purge nautilus-dropbox
That should allow you to install other packages a

- Install the dropbox da
@Michael: Ubuntu 10.10 is not support with security updates anymore and
should not be used. It is highly suggested to upgrade to a current
release. I recommend 12.04.

work. For me one step was missing. Here is what I did:

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 currently, but I had this same problem with
