[Solved] Dropbox?
I need help installing dropbox on porteus xfce edition. I download the source from official site, and since Dropbox run with nautilus and i have thunar, configuration fail with "libnautilus-extension package is missing". I solved this before on fedora xfce, but this is my first time using a slackware based distro, so I just need someone to tell me what i need to install to fix this?

Re: Dropbox?
Which version of Porteus are you using?
My first advice would be to install the slackware package:
You may have to start the dropbox daemon first with: dropboxd &
My first advice would be to install the slackware package:

Re: [Solved] Dropbox?
OK. Everything is fine now. It was just a question of signing in.
Thanks.

[Solved] Dropbox?
Hi,
I'm just discovering Porteus on my old Eee Pc 4G.
Works really fine, excepted that I can't use Dropbox :
I downloaded and mounted "dropbox-client-1.6.1-i386-1alien.xzm" module and get the following error message when launching dropbox from menu :
"Failed to execute child process "dropbox" (No such file or directory)".
My version is V3.22 32bits.
If you can help me anyway.
Thanks in advance.

JPO, welcome on the board!
You are need to activate dropbox-client-1.6.1-i386-1alien.xzm or better copy this module to /mnt/your-partition/porteus/modules and activate it.
Cheers

Hi Blaze,
thanks for your reply, but I've already placed the specified module in the modules folder and activated it.
I was wondering if some dependencies were missing ?

Blaze, I followed your instructions and installed the 2 modules.
Here is the result in my terminal window :

Sorry, I'm definitely not familiar with Porteus modules
But I really appreciate your help.

I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

Reinstall the pygtk package via slackware tools.
installpkg /path/to/pygtk-2.24.0-x86_64-4.txz
