Dropbox For Linux is Now Available!

Post by faruqkhan »

It's here! Dropbox for Linux is finally available and ready for your everyday use. Whats great about this service is you get 2 gb of space and it creates a folder in your home directory ~/Dropbox

http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/10 ... nally.html

There's a package for Debian Lenny
http://vanderkussen.org/2008/9/12/dropb ... bian-lenny

works in KDE as well as Gnome. just run Nautilus, and after a few seconds a sign-up wizard appeares.

By the way, if you sign up now while it's in beta you get 5 GB of space for free. After the full release new free users will only get 1 GB, but those who sign up during the beta stage will continue to have 5 GB.

I have two questions
!. I have installed nautilus-dropbox (in my kubuntu) but nautilus is giving following error;

Code: Select all

usama@alpha:~$ nautilus
Initializing nautilus-dropbox 0.5.0
libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session
dropboxd: no process killed
2. I checked their website and there is a beautiful ascii-art at the end of website, written "Dropbox". How can they write like this? Is there any software/website or they did this manually?
Thanks

I googled and installed "dbus-x11" and now following is the output;

Code: Select all

usama@alpha:~$ nautilus
Initializing nautilus-dropbox 0.5.0
dropboxd: no process killed
Thanks

Watch out for the Manners Taliban!
Isn't it amazing how so many people can type "linuxpakistan.net" into their browsers but not "google.com"?
