Can't get Dropbox (dropbox-client-1.6.1-i386-1alien.xzm from USM) up and running om 32bit XFCE 3.1.
Failed to execute command "dropbox start -i".
Failed to execute child process "dropbox" (No such file or directory)
guest@porteus:~$ dropbox start -i
bash: /usr/bin/dropbox: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Same problem in root.

Re: Dropbox Missing Dependents in USM?
This worked for me.
root@porteus:/home/guest# usm -g dropbox
The following items were found.
Choose an number to confirm.
ctrl+c to quit
1) dropbox-3.8.5-x86_64-1_slack.txz
2) dropbox-client-1.6.1-x86_64-1alien.tgz
3) dropbox-python-3.27-x86_64-1_slack.txz
#? 1
For number you will no doubt need python and friends so I will take a look and add it to the extra dependencies if needed. Thanks.

Okay, that didn't work -- no effect -- but will keep exploring. Thanks for checking into it!

Re: Dropbox Missing Dependents in USM?
This indicates that you only have the client installed and not the dropbox daemon, nor python. Install python first.dropbox start -i
bash: /usr/bin/dropbox: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
You then need to choose the number 1 option and it will pull in a lot of dependencies including QT4. After this the menu item should work.

Setting up Porteus as remote desktop server
Greeting!
Subject line tells it all. Need tips on how to configure Porteus to run as a remote desktop server accessible from both Windows and Linux machines. Googling for Ubuntu and Mint's sudo apt-get install xrdp & vncviewer way doesn't apply here. Thanks for any tips.
