When did you experience this crash? Was it while trying to start it from the menu?
Dropbox is installed in a directory that can only be written by root so it's normal that as a normal user you get permission denied but the installation should not be retried since the initial install is supposed to be done during the initial package installation as root... Can you send me the output of "dpkg -s nautilus-dropbox" on your system if you still have this problem? ** Visibility changed to: Public -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/821212 Title: dropbox crashed with IOError in __init__(): [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/dropbox/dropbox.tar.gz' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-dropbox/+bug/821212/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
