Dropbox and KDE

Hi,
I worked with Dropbox in KDE 4.7 and everything works fine. But after upgrade to KDE 4.8, there are problems.
At first, when Dropbox starts after log in, its status is still "Conecting..." - if I quit dropbox and start it again, it is ok.
When I want to copy some file to Dropbox directory and create public URL, error message "kde4-config not found" occurs, but I have it in /usr/bin/kde4-config.
I found that it could be problem with sqlite3-tools, but in Archlinux there is no sqlite3-tools but only sqlite3 and I have it.
Dropbox 1.2.51
KDE 4.8.00
Any advice?

Do you have an @ before network in your dameons array in rc.conf. if so try removing the @.
did you try renaming ~/.dropbox folder. (of course this would delete all your preferences) and ~/.dropbox-dist and reinstalling it?
If thats not gonna work, the only thing is writing a workaround, like those people:

Fixing Dropbox startup issues
Seems that many other people on various distribution have same problem.

  • [solved] Issue with conky and Kde 4

    I have a small issue with conky and KDE 4.2. I start conky with a script which I stored under ~/.kde/Autostart. The script is simple and looks like this..
    conky -c ~/.conkyrc_kde4
    This works fine. But when I restart the first KDE and check with ps, I have 2 instances of conky running. The instances keep on growing with the number of restarts.
    I think kde tries to restart all the apps which were running when the session was terminated. Is there a way to change this behavior in general or all the programs or for only a specific program like conky ?

    and put everything you want in Autostart

  • Gnome and KDE 4.1 without mixing?

    I'm running Gnome and love it, but wanted to give KDE 4.1 a chance so I installed it too. When logging in (GDM) I choose whether I want to run Gnome or KDE 4.1,  but when I boot KDE the kde menus are full Gnome stuff, and when I boot Gnome, the menus are full of KDE stuff. It's a mix I don't like. Either I run Gnome or KDE.
    Is there a way to stop the Gnome menus scanning the KDE apps and the KDE menus to stop scanning the Gnome apps?
    Besides that, when I'm in Gnome and open a nautilus bookmark from the "Places" menu, Konquerer starts up happily and makes me think, "What a mess. Is this the way it's supposed to work?"
    If I want to run Gnome only and KDE only, do I need to make a dual boot with two separate Arch installations?

    The menu "problem" is due to both desktops using the standard menu item location (Freedesktop.org, I believe defines this).  If you want completely separate, you don't have to dual boot with two separate Arch installs, just create a new user and make a shared data location that your KDE and Gnome user can access.  For example:
    /home/thunderogg could be thunderogg, your Gnome user
    /home/kthunderogg could be kthunderogg, your KDE user
    Create a new /home/shared folder with permissions for both users and save your documents there.  That's the only way that I know of to have both installed and not have a menu mess.

  • Wine and KDE shortcuts

    Using the Window-Specific workarounds I'm able to disable KDE global shortcuts.  For example, in Diablo 2, ALT-F2 does not bring up the run dialog.  GREAT!
    My problem is that there are occasions that I want my full-screen wine application to loose focus or minimize; for example to make a Skype call.  When someone calls me the Skype dialog and KDE taskbar pop to the front allowing me to minimize my wine application.  However, I have no way of making a call without exiting the application.
    I'm kind of at a loss here.  I don't want to disable the KDE global shortcuts but I'd like some way of minimizing the full-screen wine application.  Does anyone have a creative suggestion?

    Very cool idea!  Google found me this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … b&t=634067
    This is way simpler than I thought it'd be.  Thanks.

  • Gkrellm and KDE

    I have recently been having problems with Gkrellm and KDE.  I have gkrellm set to be dockable.  However, when I move gkrellm to the right of the screen and it docks there, the KDE panel shrinks in width a little bit, and shifts to the right.  Any ideas why this is happening?

    When you open up Konsole (or whatever terminal program you are using) it logs you in automatically for the terminal session. So you are logged in to KDE and also Konsole. As a test, open up more Konsoles and see how many users you have.

  • XFCE and KDE question

    Would there be any conflicts if XFCE and KDE were both installed at the same time or would it be wiser to remove KDE before installing XFCE?

    You'll probably be fine. Both programs can edit desktop files which can effect the other. I'm not sure how KDE handles mime types though. If it uses the same database, that could cause one to effect the other.

  • XFCE and KDE Menus on same machine

    I'm planning on installing both XFCE and KDE on a laptop and was wondering if there was any way to separate the KDE and XFCE programs in the menu.  For example on KDE when I go to Multimedia under the K Menu I would see K3B and under a subfolder called XFCE or GTK2 or whatever I would see Brasero.  I'd like to do the opposite in XFCE, with the KDE apps in a seperate subfolder.  I seem to remember seeing this on another distro but can't remember what it was.  Is there any way to do this automatically?  Thanks.

    As far as KDE goes, right click anywhere in the menu system or on the KDE button, and you can get into the menu editor. From there, you can do anything you want. Of course, when installing new programs, they are going to end up where ever the packager wants them.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • HT5262 If I delete all the photos in My Photo Stream in my iPhone, will they be deleted from Dropbox and iCloud?

    If I delete all the photos in My Photo Stream in my iPhone, will they be deleted from Dropbox and iCloud?

    They will be deleted from iCloud any other devices that are sharing the account/photo stream.  They shouldn't be deleted from Dropbox.  As I understand it, Dropbox only automatically uploads photos, it doesn't automatically delete photos.

  • Dropbox and Indesign CS5

    Hi I have a dropbox account on my imac and that is where I save, edit and control everything.  I also have a mac book air also with Adobe CS5 on.  However on my mac book air, I log on to dropbox via the web and download files that I need.  What is happening is that when I try and download the indesign file, dropbox defaults it as a .txt file so I can't access it.  Does anyone know what i need to do to download via the web an indesign file?
    Thanks

    Hi, thanks for your responses:
    Peter - When on dropbox on the web, I right click the file I want to download, then a menu comes up and I select 'download'.  It automatically downloads to my download folder and also opens.  When I go to the download folder it has saved it as a txt, so I don't have the option to re-save it.
    Bob - As above, I'm right clicking in dropbox and selecting the download, but it automatically downloads it as a txt format.  I've downloaded excel and word docs and they are fine.  I've posted this question on the dropbox forum, but have had no response - hence my questions here!  Yes I'm sure it may be how my computer saves downloads, but I'm not sure how to change it.
    Any further suggestions gratefully recieved!

  • ICloud Photo Library with automatic photo upload services such as Dropbox and Google

    After enabling iCloud Photo Library in iOS 8, do automatic photo upload services such as Dropbox and Google+ still upload photos in full resolution?
    Or do they upload the low resolution file?

    About iCloud Photos Library Beta, it is yet more a preview than a beta
    Do not rely on it to store full res Photos/Videos even if you have a 200GB iCloud Store
    Major Bugs (according to help description of fonctionality):
    -only IOS8 Photos manually edited are uploaded full res from IOS ! If you do not edit you get low res photos in iCloud Library
    -uploaded 1080p videos from IOS are converted to 720p 5mb/s as in existing Photo Sharing and not originals.
    -No upload button in web iCloud photo Client on MAC for many (all?) users
    Also very slow and very often stuck doing nothing.
    I am afraid we would have to wait for next year... or later
    What is unbelievable is that there are no information at all by Apple about what should word on the beta, and known problems, nor any release date, that is definitely not a beta, just powerpoint preview. I am very angry after all the fuss they have done around "new" iCloud and my 200GB monthly payment that I cannot use.

  • Is X-windows and GUI desktops supported on the ODA "engineered system" running a RAC database?  If it is, what is the yum command needed to install the X-windows, Gnome, and KDE package groups?

    Is X-windows and GUI desktops supported on the ODA "engineered system" running a RAC database?  If it is, what is the yum command needed to install the X-windows, Gnome, and KDE package groups?

    While I agree with the direction of the suggestions with installing packages for X-windows, we do not have a blanket 'apply any package' recommendation.
    In particular we do not support altering the kernel (although we do have exceptions which we review on a case by case basis).
    Basically, if the you want to alter functionality that would not impact core functionality you are usually fine.
    A good guideling is : The more dependencies that there are between the package / rpm you are considering using the higher the potential impact on functionality - meaning higher chance for problems
    Note: We do use VNC including Real and Tiger regularly , but we have no hard recommendation on how you may want to use X-windows. I have never seen a limitation other than comments on bugs
    or incompatibility within the X-window product itself with certain kernel levels.
    Patching may overwrite some packages that you may install, however,  _depending on packages/rpms added_ there is also the possibility that you will break existing functionality to the point
    that patching itself will fail ( we have already seen a few cases of this in which case the proper mitigation is to remove / roll-back any alterations to the ODA before patching, and then adding the packages/rpms
    back after the patching is completed.
    From what you are discussing the impact should be low without conflicts, but please consider the above, and if you have specific packages which you consider potential problems
    please create an SR so that we can review packages / rpms on an individual basis.
    Once again: the main criteria for not supporting rpms is regarding the kernel itself

  • Photo Management through Dropbox and without iPhoto

    Good evening,
    I have finally made the jump back from iPhone to BB and i'm loving it. Go Blackberry!!!
    The ability to port some apps from android has bridged most of the gaps from the store. 
    My biggest show stopper right now is getting dropbox to sync my photos and for blackberry link not to use iPhoto to sync photos with my computer. I would like to select a folder of pictures that i want synced and select a folder where i want the new camera to be synced.
    Does anyone have any tricks that i could use to facilitate my photo management through dropbox and BBLink? If these are features being worked on I'd appreciate to get an idea how long it will take to get it.
    Thank you very much and happy holidays.

    1. As a consultant I have to suggest my client whether they should go for interface between sap and eternal recording system or not... What you guys suggest which one is better.
    If your client wish to go for postive time management it is must for you create interface either you willing to say or not.
    Without that interface you can't do time positive time management
    2. I came to know that there is a standard interface(HR PDC) in sap to interact with ecternal recording system. I want to know how this Sap interact with external recording system i.e. online or offline using this interface.
    I belive this needs some third party tool to intract with PDC. then you have use time evaluation status TMSTA 1 according to  PDC
    I belive it bit differnt from what you are looking for.
    please tell me what kind of time terminal your client is using at the moment?
    Best Regards

  • Ipad use of dropbox and fonts

    i just upgraded the new operating system for my ipad.  I have then prepared a word document on my macbook and transferred it to dropbox so I can use it on my ipad later.  the font has defaulted to times roman instead of futura i did it in.  does the new ops system have specific fonts that will transfer to dropbox and be read the same on the ipad?

    Is Sonic Wall an authenticated proxy?  
    If so, say good bye to most apps, many apps either fail silently on connecting or even crash behind authenticated proxies - even when the authentication details are supplied in the wireless config
    I have iPads behind a smoothwall proxy (non-auth) and we have a proxy.pac file on our managment server.
    This proxy.pac (http://ipad/proxy.pac - set in Auto ) directs all iPad traffic to the smoothwall proxy, rather then our default auth proxy.
    Smoothwall can insert the authentication, and then direct it to your Sonic Wall
