The startup doesn't work for me as I receive the following error message: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I have to execute the ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd command from a terminal in order for Dropbox to run. I have no idea how to fix the problem though. :/ I know this article is fairly old but it was returned as the top item in a Google search for “dropbox kde” so I thought I might pass along some info.

The startup doesn’t work for me as I receive the following error message:

I have to execute the ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd command from a terminal in order for Dropbox to run.

I have no idea how to fix the problem though. :/

Cyril :
Thanks for the tutorial. There’s a typo in it however
Instead of
ln -s ~/.dropbox-dist/dropdoxd ~/.kde/Autostart/
You should use
ln -s ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd ~/.kde/Autostart/

Fix this please!

I'm running Kubuntu 10.04 and just installed the 64-bit Ubuntu package provided by Dropbox. It installs a Nautilus plugin that's useless in KDE, but the package doesn't have any other GNOME dependencies that I can see. It's certainly not pulling in Nautilus! Overall, this is really good news for the KDE community. Thanks for the info, Christer, but these instructions may now be unnecessary.
