So then, finally, I downloaded the dropbox.py script from Dropbox and placed it in my PATH. Before I started, I removed all prior installed files with sudo rm -rf /opt/dropbox.Įven still, after installing dropboxd in my home directory, I ended up with the same hanging issue. I then headed over to Dropbox’s website: and followed their official guide for installing the headless version. After waiting ~5 minutes, I killed the process with +C. This got me further than before, and now there were no errors, but Dropbox just hung at the command line, and did not produce the expected URL to link my account. Some of them had missing dependencies, so I installed each one of those via apt. Your mileage may vary, but I first issued ldd on each of the.

There were many things I needed to do to correctly configure this. It appears this may be a Qt related issue? Has anyone been able to successfully run a stable instance of Dropbox on a DO droplet with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS? I am working on a freshly created droplet, but I had been working on a prior droplet which had once seen Dropbox working and received the same error. I have been following the most recent guide that I could find on the subject ( ), but when I launch the dropboxd service, I get the following error: $ ls /opt/dropbox/ĭropbox: load fq extension '/opt/dropbox/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1/._openssl.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'ĭropbox: load fq extension '/opt/dropbox/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1/._padding.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'ĭropbox: load fq extension '/opt/dropbox/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1/psutil._psutil_linux.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'ĭropbox: load fq extension '/opt/dropbox/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1/psutil._psutil_posix.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'ĭropbox: load fq extension '/opt/dropbox/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1/apex._apex.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'ĭropbox: load fq extension '/opt/dropbox/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1/-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'ĭropbox: load fq extension '/opt/dropbox/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1/wrapt._wrappers.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'ĭropbox: load fq extension '/opt/dropbox/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1/-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'ĭropbox: load fq extension '/opt/dropbox/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1/-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'ĭropbox: load fq extension '/opt/dropbox/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1/-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'ĭropbox: load fq extension '/opt/dropbox/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-1/-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'ī'!! (Qt:Fatal) This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".\n\nAvailable platform plugins are: xcb.\n\nReinstalling the application may fix this problem.' I had previously gotten Dropbox installed and configured on an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS droplet, though it was buggy and I had to reinstall it about once per week, but now it stopped working altogether.
