The upgrade went smoothly, Dropbox is working (i.e. it is syncing files), but the icon overlays aren't appearing no matter if I use Unity, Unity 2D or GNOME Shell.

Is there any setting that can fix this?
Is there a new version of the Dropbox extension for Oneiric?

  • There is a version of nautilus-dropbox for oneiric. Have you tried reinstalling and restarting Nautilus after?

  • @kikixx: Yes, I have. Is this version available in default Ubuntu repositories?

  • What version are you on? I'm running nautilus-dropbox 0.6.8-1 from the software centre (no extra sources needed) and it's working perfectly here.

  • @kikixx: I'll check in the evening - it is possible that I am running a natty version from Dropbox repositories.

Found the following post on the dropbox forums, so two things to try (I can confirm it is working on my computer with nautilus-dropbox 0.6.8-1).

1) Downgrade to nautilus-dropbox 0.6.8-1 if running a newer version.
2) Try running the following commands if on the newer version:

    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-dropbox.a /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-dropbox.a  
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-dropbox.la /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-dropbox.la  
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so

  • I removed the Dropbox repository from the sources list, uninstalled Dropbox (version 0.6.9), installed it (version 0.6.8-1) and now it's working properly.

According to this blog post, nautilus-dropbox already has GTK+3 support. There is just one missing symlink, which can be created with this command:

cd /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0
sudo ln -s ../extensions-2.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so .
nautilus -q

Version 0.7.0 seems to solve this problem.
