How to Install The Dropbox extension for Nautilus (http://www.dropbox.com/) on Debian (x386) Squeeze for the Gnome desktop file browser Nautilus.

By Alexander Nuttall of OgFOMK ArTS

WHY?

Ubuntu One is not easy solution for Debian users. As an Ubuntu One user I enjoyed using it for contacts and notes that I needed when I spent a lot of time between more than one Ubuntu system. It is a great service. However if you have another version of Linux there is not at this time a client for you unless you have a smart phone or Windows XP/Vista/7. Why I dunno. You can still access your stuff via the browser, but file management is not so easy.

I did a web-search regarding this and found out that dropbox was recommended: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=50016#p287676

SKILL LEVEL: You should be comfortable with the command-line in Linux. This tutorial is only necessary if can not use the .deb or .rpm packages that are for Ubuntu or Fedora respectfully. This may work if you have another Linux distribution but that is not what I am claiming here.

WARNING: If you have a Debian distribution you usually can not use an Ubuntu packaged .deb as the dependencies have different names between the distributions.

PROCESS:

1. Download Dropbox from the Dropbox website: http://www.dropbox.com/downloading?src=index

2. You will see:

Dropbox for Linux
Download the correct Dropbox installation for your Linux environment
We recommend downloading the “x86″ package for your distribution.
Ubuntu (x86_64 .deb)
Ubuntu (x86 .deb)
Fedora (x86_64 .rpm)
Fedora (x86 .rpm)
Compile from Source (tar.bz2)

3. Choose “Compile from Source (tar.bz2)” and download with your browser.

4. Assuming that your download is in the /home/(your-user-name)/Downloads directory open up a terminal emulator like Gnome Terminal or LXTerminal to the location where your downloaded file is e.g. nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7.tar.bz2 (as of 29 Jun 2011). It is not necessary to work as root (su or sudo) at this time.

smythe@debian-box:~$ cd /home/smythe/Downloads

5. List the contents of the download directory.

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads$ ls

6. You should see the following file (or a similar named) that you downloaded (along with all the other crap you have acquired things that you have downloaded.):

nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7.tar.bz2

7. Now it’s time to change this source file that is tar(ed) and bz(ipped) to a directory of files that we will build the application from:

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads$ tar -xvf nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7.tar.bz2

8. The shell should respond by a verbose listing of the following:

9. List the contents again of your download directory as that is the directory we are working in.

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads$ ls

The directory now should show the nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7.tar.bz2 file and the unpacked directory: nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7
and of course whatever else you have in the “Download” directory.

nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7
nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7.tar.bz2

10. Now we need to change the directory we are working in to the nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7 directory:

Hint: You can type the command cd n and then (tab) and the directory/ies names that start with n* will show up filled out for you most of the time. Most shell commands do if you are a lazy typist time conscious user.

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads$ cd nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7/

RESULT:

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$

11. List the contents of the ~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$ directory with the ls command to show what was Unpacked so that you can see what the builder intended for us to work with:

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$ ls

RESULT:

aclocal.m4    config.sub    depcomp         install-sh   NEWS
AUTHORS       configure     docgen.py       ltmain.sh    README
ChangeLog     configure.in  dropbox.in      Makefile.am  rst2man.py
config.guess  COPYING       dropbox.txt.in  Makefile.in  serializeimages.py
config.h.in   data          INSTALL         missing      src

12. We are going to use the less command to read a text file. The file we are going to read is README:

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$ less README

RESULT:

Hi Friend!

Building Dropbox Nautilus Extension From Source Tarball
--------------------------------------------------

You will need the following packages (or equivalent):

libnautilus-extension-dev

In the nautilus-dropbox dir just do:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

After installing the package you must restart Nautilus. You can do
that by issuingthe following command (note: if you're running compiz,
doing so may lock up your computer - log out and log back in instead):

Keep this terminal open and open another terminal window so that you can follow the directions. Most terminal emulators allow you to do this. This way we can read and do.

There is important information here. What is best is that the instructions are simple short and sweet.

The dependency/ies are according to the author: libnautilus-extension-dev. I found that I also needed python-docutils. In the next step we will use the new terminal window and begin the process of compiling this package for installation.

13. In the new terminal window we are going to become root using the su (change user ID or become superuser) so that we can use apt-get install to get the dependencies we need. Make sure that you navigate back to the working directory ~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7 as we did in step 4 above.

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$ su
Password: (type in your root password)
smythe@debian-box:/home/smythe/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7#

You now are root as the above output shows a # and not the $. The full working path is also displayed without ~ (tilda).

smythe@debian-box:/home/smythe/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7# apt-get
install libnautilus-extension-dev

Follow the instructions and install this dependency library. If you already have this, move on.

I found that I needed docutils after running ./configure . I needed to install
python-docutils so I used apt-get install to get this too. If you don’t need this then skip this step. You will find out when you run ./configure as it will say something like:

checking for docutils... no
configure: error: couldn't find docutils

If this happens to you or you want to see if you have it, apt-get install will work.

smythe@debian-box:/home/smythe/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7# apt-get
install python-docutils

Follow the instructions and install this dependency library. If you already have this, move on.

Once you finish with your root needs it is best to exit to your regular user so you don’t create files in your directory that are only root privileged. You will also exit so you do not do anything to your system by accident. Use the exit command.

smythe@debian-box:/home/smythe/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7# exit

Now you are regular user:

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$

14. As regular user we can now configure this application for installation per the instructions in the README file that we have still visible in our original terminal emulator. Lets run ./configure and see what happens:

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$ ./configure

Aha! The last two lines say that I do not have docutils so I have to get it. I saved you the time of this hassle at the end of step 13. Go back to it if you see that same thing.

Successfully completing ./configure you will see that config.status: created files and directories. The directoris and files only have your regular user privileges so you can use this again or move it to safe place out of your “download” or “working” directory.

The next step is to make the application for installation.

15. Per the instructions of the README file we are now going to make the application.

Having made it this far we are close to the home plate of this inning. It’s time to go on to the next step so we can become root again and make this for installation.

16. The README file say for us to use sudo to do this next step. If you do not have your regular user as a sudoer, then you need to become root with su:

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$ su
Password: (type in your root password)
smythe@debian-box:/home/smythe/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7#

You now are root as the above output shows a # and not the $. The full working path is also displayed without ~ (tilda).

Use the make install to install this application for the whole system. That means that everyone who has a legitimate account can use Dropbox!

smythe@debian-box:/home/smythe/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7# make install

Libraries have been installed in:

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

The README file author advises us to finish this with:

“After installing the package you must restart Nautilus. You can do that by issuing the following command (note: if you’re running compiz, doing so may lock up your computer – log out and log back in instead):

$ killall nautilus”

See lets move on to the next step so we can get our application working our regular user.

17. Exit the root user and return back to your regular user:

smythe@debian-box:/home/smythe/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7# exit

Now you are regular user again:

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$

18. Kill the Nautilus file browser as your regular user. Nautilus is what we are using in Gnome.

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$ killall nautilus

RESTART Nautilus:

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$ nautilus

19. With Nautilus restarted we will see what Dropbox does:

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$ dropbox

RESULT:

Dropbox command-line interface

commands:

Note: use dropbox help  to view usage for a specific command.

status       get current status of the dropboxd
help         provide help
puburl       get public url of a file in your dropbox
stop         stop dropboxd
running      return whether dropbox is running
start        start dropboxd
filestatus   get current sync status of one or more files
ls           list directory contents with current sync status
autostart    automatically start dropbox at login
exclude      ignores/excludes a directory from syncing

Since we get some command information we know that Dropbox is installed, but how do we use it?

20. Find out the status of Dropbox:

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$ dropbox status

The RESULT is:

Dropbox isn't running!

21. Let’s get Dropbox to run for us:

In order to make things a little simple we change to our home directory:

smythe@debian-box:~/Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7$ cd ~

Run the dropbox autostart command:

smythe@debian-box:~$ dropbox autostart

RESULT:

 dropbox autostart [y/n]

options:
n  dropbox will not start automatically at login
y  dropbox will start automatically at login (default)

Note: May only work on current Ubuntu distributions.

I ignored the above note from the output regarding “May only…” as our whole goal here is to run Dropox on Debian which is not Ubuntu.

Run the dropbox autostart command with “y”:

smythe@debian-box:~$ dropbox autostart y

Still nothing seems to happen, but no negative feedback, so we check the status again:

 smythe@debian-box:~$ dropbox status

The RESULT is:

Dropbox isn't running!

No luck here let’s try something different.

22. Starting Dropbox with the dropbox start command:

smythe@debian-box:~$ dropbox start

RESULT:

Starting Dropbox...
The Dropbox daemon is not installed!
Run "dropbox start -i" to install the daemon

So finally a little feedback. Let’s take the advice and install the daemon:

smythe@debian-box:~$ dropbox start -i

RESULT:

Starting Dropbox...Done!

Now you should see the first Dropbox application GUI which is telling us that we must download the proprietary daemon:

Click “OK” and then you will see that Dropbox is downloading the daemon for installation:

Finally you need to decide whether or not you have an account or you would like to have a new one:

Congratulations! You have made it to the point where I can answer no more. Just follow the dialogues and enjoy.

FINALL WORDS:

I hope this was informative to you. Everything was provided to give you a good understanding of how to put together Dropbox for your Gnome/Debian desktop. Once you have this installed for yourself you can show each user step 22 or do it for them. I hope you enjoy this.

Do you have a Dropbox Account?  Would you like to get one? Get Dropbox.
