Perhaps the RPM spec should patch /usr/bin/dropbox as follow :
https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/application_dropbox

I can't reproduce on my Cauldron, dropbox works and tray icon is displayed as it should.

However our current package is a quite old so it is time to update it to the latest release!

Please test upcoming dropbox-2024.01.22-1.mga9.nonfree.noarch.rpm!

Hi David,
same issue with last dropbox version.
There is something wrong with DBUS.
dropbox: load fq extension '/home/eric/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-196.4.6900/PyQt5.QtDBus.so'

(dropbox:16994): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: 18:53:39.240: About to Show called on an item wihtout submenus.  We're ignoring it.

Now lets me add at line 28 in /usr/bin/dropbox : os.environ['DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS'] = ""

dropbox: load fq extension '/home/eric/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-196.4.6900/PyQt5.QtDBus.so'

(dropbox:18510): libayatana-appindicator-WARNING **: 18:56:28.157: Unable to get the session bus: L’adresse indiquée est vide

(dropbox:18510): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: 18:56:28.157: Unable to get session bus: L’adresse indiquée est vide

But i got menu.

Nota : i made update with a hammer :-D which status of Nvidia?

sound like DP want org.kde.StatusNotifierItem but i'm under gnome.
give yu here the output of dbus-monitor >/tmp/dropbox.debug with only a dp start:

https://paste.centos.org/view/27ba9375

now let click on the icon:

I installed dropbox fresh on mga9, Plasma.
Before and after update system tray icon is OK, hoovering on it it just say "Dropbox", it need left or right mouse click for menu.

@Eric, outside of this bug: When this settles, could you glance on https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Dropbox, which i edited when installing, if there is something that can be improved.
I rewrote it completely half a year ago, but I do not use Gnome.

I added section 6:


== Workaround for gnome users  ==
If you don't have menu when you click on the icon, edit this file with root privileges.
nano /usr/bin/dropbox
Just after the line :" import os" add the line :
os.environ['DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS'] = ""
save the file with CTRL+X and restart dropbox

Thank you for the wiki edit. I added formatting.

Then we can give greenlight to packages?

Would be nice with some real usage testing.

Blatantly CC:ing some users who have reported on Dropbox before,
hoping some of you can test this Dropbox update :)

If you do not have it installed currently, see

MGA9-64 Plasma Wayland on HP-Pavillion
Just installed the dropbox package, I'm not into Gnome.
I have an account, but I only use it very seldomly to receive some larger files. Anyway, as soon as i laich it, the tray icon appears, and I can work in the Dropbox site. So that seems to work.
What annoys me is that there seems no obvious way to terminate this, there is no "quit" option in the menu.
Getting rid of the whole thing right now.

> there is no "quit" option in the menu.

It is there for me: right or left click the Dropbox icon in system tray, and the bottom menu choice terminates it.

Then the lowest part of the menu must be cut off for me.

(In reply to Herman Viaene from comment #12)
> Then the lowest part of the menu must be cut off for me.

try to add the line, restart dropbox and see if is here. also use a console for, dropbox stop and dropbox start, like that you will see some debug info

I am unsubscribing from this bug.  My situation is now different, and I haven't used Dropbox since they restricted me to only one device.

Strange: the first time I click on the tray icon, the lowest line on the menu is "Get more space", the second time (and following) I get the complete menu.

Even worse: I remove the dropbox packages, logout and login again (did the X11 updates in the mean time) and he tray icon keeps appearing. That is annoying and plain nonsense.

Removing Dropbox: Please check what I just now added:
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Dropbox#Removing_Dropbox

BTW I too see the problem described in Comment 15, on first system tray icon menu open the last line in menu are "below" screen edge.
I guess it is an upstream issue.

Our glib2 looks newer than the one in the link in comment#19

Glib is a handy library of utility functions. This C

programs require.

Glib is used by GDK, GTK+ and many applications.
You should install Glib because many of your applications
will depend on this library.

This package contains the library needed to run programs dynamically
linked with the glib.


So I don't know if glib2 is really the cause of the fail

I may not be understanding the issue here, but for me, dropbox 2024.01.22 behaves fine, and leaves its icon in the taskbar which behaves normally.  Items deleted from dropbox via this are correctly deleted from dropbox seen from other computers.

This cant be hanging here forever.

Is there any regression from our previous version?

If not we should release it as at least it this is an update.
