Problem in Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS - Dropbox stopped working
My Dropbox folder is no longer syncing. I used to run smoothly, so I am guessing a recent Ubuntu update broke something. This is what I get when I run Dropbox on the command line:
yuri@yuri-del...
yurisobral, you have 2 issues. You have customized your system (unsupported version of Python installed). ntfs is NOT supported on Linux. That's it.
PS: You may try workaround (the first issue) with a command like:
sudo wget -O /usr/bin/dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/dropbox.py
Good luck.
Dear Здравко,
Thanks for your comments.
Please note that linux and dropbox are both installed on the sda6 partition, which is an ext4 partition. Please note that Dropbox was running perfectly (for the last 5 years or so) until a couple of weeks ago.
I do not recall changing the python version on my ubuntu. This is the version that I have installed right now:
Your workaround did not work, unfortunately. It seems to do something:
But when I run dropbox I still get the "bootstrap panicked" message.
Cheers,
Yuri

Hey yurisobral, sorry to jump in here, but have you tried creating a new OS profile and installing the desktop app there?

Hm...🤔 I cannot say anything more than - strange... Anyway.
Can you post following command output:
which dropbox
as well as the "dropbox start -i" command output once again, after it's updated already with wget.
There you go!
As seems you have some configuration issue on your system I cannot comment (I use the same configuration and don't have any "panicked"). 🤷
Anyway... As seems, your Dropbox daemon run already in spite. So you should be able sync whatever you like in you Dropbox folder (by default ~/Dropbox; in your case /home/yuri/Dropbox).
You can confirm that with:
dropbox status
Good luck. 😉
