Debian Squeeze nautilus-dropbox.deb amd64 package

with 21 comments

Edit 2: Official Debian dropbox package on the way :) http://raphaelhertzog.com/2011/06/06/official-debian-ubuntu-packages-for-nautilus-dropbox/

Edit: The package nautilus-dropbox is now available in Hadret’s Debian PPA (among other interesting stuff). You might be better off using it.

If you are looking for the i386 package, go here.

As the packages for ubuntu don’t work with debian due to the libnautilus extension problem (that the dropbox devs haven’t noticed…YET), I had to compile it. It’s been properly created with dpkg-buildpackage on Debian Squeeze. Install it with gdebi or dpkg -i.

nautilus-dropbox_0.6.1-1_amd64.deb

It will call the real installation and that’s about it. Don’t be mistaken by the version number, it will download the latest version, just hover over the notification icon and you’ll see the real version. You can upgrade by just deleting the appropriate folder in your home directory.

As an alternative, you can build the proper debian dropbox package, available in mentors.debian (beware for issues).
Enjoy.

  1. Thank you so much! This is just what I was looking for. Clicking the tray icon does open nautilus by default, and I’m using KDE, but the Dropbox folder is just as accessible with Dolphin. Perfect.

  3. Just enable the non-free repository and “apt-get install dropbox” in squeeze. Beautiful – http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/dropbox

    • It’s not the same. That package installs the daemon, but doesn’t provide nautilus integration.

  9. @Eric, Thanks for providing the link to my article. Hopefully this issue will be fixed for good once the packages are available in Debian.

  15. Here’s how to make an ice cream pie, including directions for a cookie crust (with variations), plus ideas for fillings and toppings. But admit it; sometimes you give to be able to receive something in return, don’t you.
    Just as in other addictions, conquering the beast takes information, a well-developed plan, support
    and a whole lot of tenacity.
