Dropbox Indicator Not Working

[zxczxcdani]

(Okay, I was about to post this and after I pressed back because POST gave me an error, poof! Gone. Sigh)

Sigh. Now, this is really bugging me after I install Linux Lite. Dropbox's Indicator is not working. I can't right click and even left click, I can't simply interact with the indicator. It has an indicator on the taskbar but it's not working. My LL is installed fresh, version 2.8 and I am loving this distro, but if I can't solve this, I may be pushed to install another one (please no).

• I tried reinstalling the app but no avail.
  
• Tried installing libindicator1, nope.
  
• Tried downloading the deb file from dropbox website, naaaah.
  
• Also installed dropbox from lite software. Actually, this is the first thing I did
  

Can someone help me solve this? Here's a screenshot:

Uninstall Dropbox using Lite Software.
Open your File Manager.  Hit Ctrl H to show hidden files and folders.
Remove the .dropbox folder if it exists.
Reboot
Run Install Updates
Install Dropbox using Lite Software

Did that just now, no avail. Ugh, dropbox's problem maybe?

[torreydale]

It isn't Dropbox.  Mine is ok and I installed via Lite Software.  Search the forum for the dropbox Thunar plugin.

Dropbox thunar plugin gets automatically installed when you install Dropbox via Lite Software.

[torreydale]

Right.  I know.  Just a shot in the dark since the user was having an issue with the panel indicator and right click options.

All good torreydale, I'm just trying to avoid potential software version conflicts which can compound an issue.

Still no working. I have the thunar plugin installed already. Also tried turning off compositing. This is exhausting.

To help everyone know what is installed please run the following in a terminal and post back with the results.

Code:

apt list --installed dropbox*

Hmmm.. i though i replied to this topic. Seems my post is either removed (which i hope i wasn't since that would be very non-constructive) or got lost on the digital highway.....???

This is a solution which could solve your problem.

• Open a terminal
  
• type the following command:
  sudo apt-get install libappindicator1
  
• Follow the instructions given in the terminal
  
• Now type the following command:
  dropbox stop && dropbox start
  
• If above command doesn't work, log out and log back in.
  
• If it still not working, let us know!
