[opensuse] Stumped
I've been googling for hours and can't get this one figured out. I'm no purist. If there's a piece of software that works well and the way I want it I don't care if it's KDE or Gnome. I'm trying to get Dropbox installed. Following instruction on two or three different pages I thought I had everything downloaded and ready to install. There still seems to be some Nautilus dependencies that I just can't seem to resolve. I had the idea of adding the gnome repositories. Loads of links to openSUSE gnome repositories but not the standard repos that are in the regular Gnome installation. Is there some simple way to just add the standard Gnome repos to the list? -- “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests”. - Patrick Henry - _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Tried that. It stops because it can't resolve some Nautilus dependencies. I downloaded an rpm for Dropbox and what it said on one of the openSUSE wiki's were suposedly the Nautilus dependencies. Added the local directory where they are to the repository listing. Tried installing the supposed dependencies into openSUSE but that didn't cure the issue.

I seriously doubt that would work. Dropbox is listed as an extension to Nautilus.

I don't know if this will work, but it is an idea. I had installed dropbox on 11.4, and the repository was build/opensuse.org/openSUSE:11.4:Contrib When I look at Yast, this is listed as the repository it is using since it is installed. I did an upgrade from 11.4 to 12.1, and I still am using dropbox without a hitch. For more experienced rpm guys out there, can you go to a repository for 11.4 and just download the single package from there, and then use Yast to install from the download directory? Or will it cause a problem since it came from an earlier version of opensuse? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Billie, Search for kfilebox - it is a kde dropbox front end. When I installed it and first ran it it automatically downloaded and started the dropbox daemon and then ran the dropbox account setup.

HTH. Rodney.
Just had a play with it - works well. It integrates directly with Dolphin. A couple of hints; when you first run it, it installs the Dropbox daemon (as I mentioned) and starts the apparently Java-based dropbox interface to set up/link to your dropbox account. You need to start kfilebox again to get the kfilebox icon in the systemtray and the dolphin integration working (at least, I did anyway). You can then right click on the other dropbox icon and select "Quit Dropbox" to get rid of it from the system tray. THIS WILL kill the dropbox daemon - then right-click on the kfilebox icon in systray and select "Start Dropbox". You should now have full dropbox integration with dolphin, including the right-click context menus. You will also need to right-click on the kfilebox icon again, select Preferences and set the dropbox folder location (which by default will have been installed to /home/<your_user>/Dropbox unless you've told it to go somwhere else durign the install). This way, when you left-click on the kfilebox systray icon, Dolphin (or your chosen file manager) will open in the Dropbox folder.

This worked for me too on another computer. The only difference is that after I had kfilebox running, it was redundant, as my dropbox was fully integrated into dolphin and the system tray. So I then uninstalled kfilebox afterwards, and dropbox continues to run without a problem.

Getting kind of long but I left it all there anyway. Did you find kfilebox in Yast or ............?

I could be wrong, I'm first to admit it. But, isn't finding and installing software packages the purpose of Yast? When you search for a package that is supplied from openSUSE repos shouldn't Yast be able to find it and install it? If you have the proper repos set up that is. I'm not sure the purpose of Package Search. That's something "new" since my last foray into SuSE. It says it's supposed to search the web for packages. Maybe it's supposed to search places like the link above. But all it ever returns is a 404 error. Appers looks to me like a KDE package manager that is a KDE based alternative to Yast. If the only way to find the software you need is to search for it from Firefox, or your favorite browser, why do you need Yast and the rest? -- “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests”. - Patrick Henry - _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You answered your own question :^)

so you now have need of http://software.opensuse.org/search

webpin is broken and has been since 11.4, perhaps earlier.
Appers looks to me like a KDE package manager that is a KDE based alternative to Yast.
one of the first apps I removed. I am old and like the keyboard and utilize text for as much as I find handy and zypper is king. But, again zypper will only work with the repos that are configured.
If the only way to find the software you need is to search for it from Firefox, or your favorite browser, why do you need Yast and the rest?
YaST is *not* only about installing packages :^) as far as the "rest", that is somewhat ambiguous. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
