Re: Dropbox howto

I recently upgraded my Dropbox to version 1.1.23 and it stopped opening thunar with the "fake nautilus" script:

#!/bin/bash
exec thunar $@
exit 0

I found it needed to be changed to:

#!/bin/bash
exec thunar ${@/#--no-desktop}
exit 0

since Dropbox is now sneaking a "--no-desktop" in as the first argument. You could also use $2 but that might make it not work if you're not using the newest Dropbox. ${@/#--no-desktop} will work since it just takes out the --no-desktop if it's there.

When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.

I tried to install Dropbox using the WIKI page. Problem being I have 64 bit. I tried adding _64 to the given download link and it worked. Also after grabbing the 64 bit file, the process worked perfectly and Dropbox is all good.

Here is the link I used to grab the 64 bit version of the file.

Enjoy.

Thank you for this...  big_smile

I followed the wiki and was going nuts trying to figure out what I did wrong... 

If there was a 64bit link on the wiki, I sure missed it

Re: Dropbox howto

How do I unistall the damn thing? I recently installed crunchbang linux, and there was icon to install it. But I dont want it. I tried removing it with aptitude but without success. Maybe I missed something?
Thank you.

Re: Dropbox howto

You could always just delete the .dropbox and .dropbox-dist folders from your home. Edit autostart.sh to remove entry, and edit menu if desired.
