Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
After having scouted around on the www for some hints as to how I
can get my Dropbox to run properly I have been unable to get it to
return to its original installed operation.<br>
I am running (X)Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS, have found the Dropbox Icon has
disappeared and I can no longer use it to inspect the Dropbox folder
with the Dropbox options available eg right click and copy a Dropbox
share URL.<br>
<br>
At the moment this is the icon that comes and goes as I stop and
start Dropbox from the command line <img alt=""
src="cid:part1.03020902.06030003@bigpond.com" height="29"
width="224"> (the red circle with a slash through it). I am
running the Indicator Plugin and it has a couple of functions
showing OK (Network, System, Audio all work OK), however there is no
Dropbox listed in the "Indicator apps". Clicking on the red circle
icon only makes a little single line shadow under it and nothing
else.<br>
<br>
I have completely un-installed Dropbox and then reinstalled, to no
avail, and also the same with remove/reinstall Indicator. I have
disconnected this machine from Dropbox via their website on another
machine, and then re-linked it again and no improvement.<br>
<br>
I have tried various command line statements eg <i>dropbox stop</i>
and then <i>dropbox start</i> as well as <i>sudo dropbox stop
&& DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="" dropbox start</i> which did
a restart and removed the red circle but did not replace it with the
proper Drop box icon. When I ran the Dropbox application from the
Applications Menu the red circle icon returned.<br>
<div class="moz-signature"><br>
As I am not a high level 'Nix user I have quickly hit a brick
wall. If anyone could help me debug my set up, or offer
suggestions as to what I could try, I would be very grateful.<br>
<br>
