The dropbox icon from the desktop plugin area is missing and in its place there is a black TV 1 with a red sign in its center. I tried to solve this issue by removing and reinstalling dropbox and by following the proposed solution here. Neither one solution nor the other solved my problem.
Someone can help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance.
There are some workarounds until the bug is fixed. The best one at this moment (working for Linux distros such as Xubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.) is:
dropbox stop && DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="" dropbox start
More details at another StackExchange site: Dropbox icon is not working Xubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 - Ask Ubuntu
Update:
And a more recent workaround that works for more Linux operating systems:
dropbox stop && dbus-launch dropbox start
I just ran into the same issue. I noticed that my .dbus directory was owned by root:root with a permission on 700. Changed ownership recursively to user:user and ran the more recent workaround and it seems to work.

Hey I changed my System from Linux to Windows and I would like to install Node.js via .exe. The problem I have is, that I get an Error Pop-up. How could I fix it?
What I tried:
I checked already the permissions and I got also the confirm-box for the admin and everything seems to be normal.
Install Windows 10 ISO via bootable stick and Rufus in MBR and GPT and also by creating an usb via MediaCreationTool.
Thanking you in anticipation
Yeah, I got in this issue too. There is already an approved bug on the maintainers GitHub: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/39224. So assume that a fix will be available in the next days.
Short term solution: Install the version before the latest (e.g. 14.17.1): https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/39224#issuecomment-872702653. This worked for me
I have been using vs code for a month now on my manjaro Linux machine and I've had a number of issues. For example opening a folder from the welcome page doesn't work, sign in using a GitHub account doesn't work, it hangs quite a lot and after facing any of these issues vs code quits
I have tried to re-install vs-code but it solves nothing
I am using a laptop with an i7 8th gen CPU, 16GB ram and a G-force MX150 which should be plenty for everything but I'm booting into manjaro using a traditional old hard drive
Is there a fix for this ?
so I just figured out to solve this problem myself
follow the steps below if you're facing similar issues on an arch-based distro. The problem is with the AUR pls
download the official release from GitHub if you're not sure how to do that follow the steps below.
uninstall VS-code
cd into the desired directory
Follow the steps in order
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/visual-studio-code-bin.git
cd visual-studio-code-bin
makepkg -si
This solved my issue so I hope it does for you as well
I am new to Ubuntu 18.04. It has been a long time that I have not updated anything new on my current OS which is Loki (interestingly, besides Loki does not allow ppl to upgrade Juno).
For some reasons, I have to install another Linux OS on my machine, which is ubuntu 18.04 - the minimal installation. Although everything works perfectly to Ubuntu, it makes me cannot log in to my main OS.
Description of an issue: After selecting a boot of elementary, I log in my account on a log-in page of Elementary. It does not show anything else and move back to the log-in. Another try with a guest account (with no password), still the same problem.
Because most of my data and work in Elementary, I have to find a way to solve this problem. Is there anyone here giving me a hand? Thank you very much.
I ran into same problem once.
Login into tty mode by Ctrl+Shift+F1,and enter:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils
sudo reboot
And I was able to login
Trying tty mode by Ctrl+Shift+F1, I was able to log-in in a terminal. Turn out that the Ubuntu has used almost the left memory to load an OS. By removing some files by the command rm -rf [filename] to release around 2GB, I was able to have everything back. It was freaking for a while. Phewww...
I tried to install Scratch 2 under Linux for Education at school. I followed these good instructions to install Adobe Air - everything works fine. But if I execute the Air-Installfile for Scratch I will be asked for the root password. In the little Pop-Up-Window it's not working so I tried to start the Air-File with these:
/opt/Adobe\ AIR/Versions/1.0/Adobe\ AIR\ Application\ Installer /{absolute path to downloadfolder}/Scratch.air
It works fine, but I get an error saying error that my Scratch-Install-File is broken... I re-loaded again but nothing changed. Does someone has an helpful idea?
Look at your file size. The download have maybe been interupted before it was complete. It happened to me so I downloaded it again with a download manager like JDownloader and installed it successfully but only with sudo
sudo /opt/Adobe\ AIR/Versions/1.0/Adobe\ AIR\ Application\ Installer /{absolute path to downloadfolder}/Scratch.air
The problem is that you can't launch it directly when you installed it with sudo rights. I'm looking for a solution but this is another problem.
i download Intellij Idea 13 (ideaIC-13.tar.gz) from jetbrains.com and i want to install it on ubuntu 13.10.
i'm not prefer to run intellij with terminal commands everytime i wanna use it, it's gonna be great if i can open it like another applications we install from ubuntu software center.
so i searched over the internet and found out i should compile it to .deb file to do that. i tried several ways to compile but i got error every time.
can anyone help me solve this problem?
thanks in advance
edit :
i tried "Create Desktop Entry" to make shortcut for it, but i got this error.
there is another warning about "native file watcher". how can i solve them?:|
the problem was my Ubuntu installation or lack of my ubuntu dependencies.
now i use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Intellij Idea Works Properly! i just run the .sh file with bash command.
and Create Desktop Entry worked fine.
