Linux Dropbox: fatal python exception
Hi everybody, I am new to linux, taking over responsibilty due to a colleague leaving and im very lost. Yesterday, I checked the drobox status on the terminal and it was stuck on dropbox upgrading....
Hi everyone,
On this thread different troubles are posted! Most of them are related to missing library assignment declaration (library package in fact). For Ubuntu and other debian derived packaging systems, package name is "libatomic1". For RPM based - "libatomic". Workaround to this Dropbox developers fault could be installing the corresponding package by hands. For example, installation command, in Ubuntu, is:
sudo apt-get install libatomic1
On other systems, equivalent commands could be used.
Hope this helps. :wink:
PS: On Fedora usable command is:
sudo dnf install libatomic

Dropbox StaffHey Ross Capatex! Thanks for joining.
We have a lot of Linux users in Community. I am not one of them, but I can help! :laughing: I will need a screenshot of the error reported to do so.
Also, please let me know the version of Dropbox you have installed there.
Looking forward to seeing the error!
Hi Fiona,
Thank you so much for replying! :)
I have attached a screenhot as you asked. I'm not sure how to check which version of dropbox it is?
Thanks.
Ross

bitnami@ip-172-31-47-141:~$Hi KingswoodCountry,
Your error message have said where exactly is the problem - i. e. missing library "libglapi.so.0". Where did you decide from that the missing library is part of "libatomic1" package?! Particular library, on focus, is part of "libglapi-mesa" package. 😉 I believe, you know what has to be done.
Hope this helps.
