Syncing but not downloading on Fedora 32
Hi All! Here is what happened, I use a bullet point list for clarity 🙂
-I did a fresh install of Fedora 32 on my system.
-Installed dropbox from rpm and sudo dnf install...
-Installed the daemon as requested
-Installed TopIcon Plus
-Some files were downloaded meanwhile
-I restarted my machine
-Dropbox autostarted and the icon says syncing
-Also "dropbox status" says syncing
However, the folder size and files are stuck and they don't go beyond 51.3MB.
I can't find a way to have Dropbox downloading again the files (I also tried reinstalling the daemon from the command line via "sudo dropbox start -i") Any idea how I can proceed from here? Thanks in advance!
Hi Lusil ,
I played a bit with some instructions foudn online and I was able to solve the problem. I have written a small guide for RHEL 8.2 which can be found here. I believe that a similar approach could work also for Fedora 32 (one just need to make sure to be subscribed for the repositories containing nautilus-devel)
Have a great weekend!
Hi again Lusil, apologies for writing again.
I just wanted to mention that I have installed dropbox again, this time compiling the code from the source on RHEL 8 and, although it is a slightly different distribution, I get exactly the same problem that is: syncing status with no downloading.
Since it seems to download the files only just after the installation, maybe a direction to solve this problem revolves around dropbox daemon not being active after a reboot? I'm not a huge linux expert...
