I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 (64bit) and can't get the Dropbox-Client to work. I can install it but I don't get to the point where I should be asked for my user information (mail adress/password).
What I already tried:
- Installing the package nautilus-dropbox
- Installing the package from https://www.dropbox.com/install
- Download from https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86 an run with
dropbox start - Removing the folders .dropbox and dropbox-dist between the different approaches
Sometimes a window pops up, telling me that there was a 'Connection Error' with Dropbox and I should check my settings.
I do not use a proxy.
Any ideas?
I have dropbox working well on multiple 12.10 (32 bit) computers. Are you using 64 bit?
I would suggest removing the nautilus extension and deleting all traces of dropbox in your home directory (such as the .dropbox hidden folder).
I then use ubuntu-tweak to install a new version of dropbox. When it installs I got a message about it being in the wrong location, but it's worked fine for me.
