This is a fresh install of Dropbox on a 12.04 server running on a 32bit system. It does not seem to fail the installation, but when I try to run it, I am told it can't find the file.

Following the instructions on the Dropbox site, I get the following message:

~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd: 10: exec: ~/.dropbox-dist/dropbox: not found

Has anyone had this problem and know a work around? Running 12.04 server

  • Why didn't you install it from the software center?

  • @Kevin, nope, you haven't mentioned "server" on the question body, nonetheless, it is clear by the tag being used ;)

  • I eventually got it to work after trying a few more times. It might have been the wrong architecture.

I was able to run dropbox using /usr/bin/dropbox I installed the application while logged in as root. Probably this is the reason ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd and /home/{user}/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd were not working.
