Deprecated message using Dropbox from Fedora RPM repos
System information: Operating System: Fedora Linux 35 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.16.11-200.fc35.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Plat...
Hi emaster987,
Yes, from time to time different things become deprecated and replaced by others. In the particular case a library method is on focus. Let's hope Dropbox staff will take this in mind.
You have put in your description a lot of information but your Python version is missing (the actual issuer of that warning). Can you post your version? The result of command like:
python3 -c "import sys; print(sys.version)"
By the way, you can avoid that disturbing message as follow the provided direction within the message itself - i.e. replace the deprecated method name and set newer one (they are synonyms, actually). This could get achieved by following command:
sudo sed -i s/isSet/is_set/ /usr/bin/dropbox
Hope this helps.
I cannot see the Dropbox icon on the top of the screen anymore and I am getting:
dropbox start -i
/usr/bin/dropbox:613: DeprecationWarning: isSet() is deprecated, use is_set() instead
if self.stop_event.isSet(): break

My OS is: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, Release: 22.04, Codename: jammy. It is updated. My Dropbox daemon version is: 181.4.5678. I've just run dropbox update and followed the installation hoping that will overwrite any issues on my system but it doesn't look like anything changed, I am getting the same message. Please help me as I am not an experienced Linux user. Thanks

Hi lwmar,
Hm..🤔 It's strange when you had the application ran and displayed its icon it to stops just so, without reason at some point. As seems Dropbox cannot see that you're running graphical environment and gets fall back to console mode (headless one). Try figuring out what changed recently (around or just before moment the issue had come up)...

That's the easiest part. 😉 Did you try the command proposed above?

Here it's trivial! 🙋 Just follow as noted. You need to get logged in your Dropbox account that you want to link your machine to.
Hope this helps.
Hi Здравко, I clicked on that link but now I've found that I just needed to restart the PC. Everything looks fine an as usual now. Thanks a lot, all the best for you.
