Dropbox Client for Linux on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS- icon not clickable.
Guys, I've noticed a bug on Dropbox Client on Ubuntu 23.10 and the same occurs on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS after a installed it from scratch on my machine. It's really a bug on the app on desktop.
The ...
Same behavior after a clean installation of Ubuntu 24.04. The installation seems correct, but then the Dropbox interface does not respond; the tray icon freezes, and no settings can be accessed."
prapador if you do what I show on the video would the app show it's interface?
I'm successfully using a workaround with Ubuntu 24.04 and the latest Dropbox version.
1) Create an executable file somewhere in your $HOME directory with these contents:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 5
/usr/bin/gnome-extensions disable ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com
/usr/bin/gnome-extensions enable ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.comAs you can see, it simply restarts the appindicator extension (this is what happens whenever you lock and unlock your screen).
2) Make it executable, i.e.: chmod +x $HOME/bin/restart-appindicator.sh
3) Create a new startup app in gnome with this data:
- Name: Restart appindicator
- Command: /home/myusername/bin/restart-appindicator.sh
Thank you aristocles!
I just installed 24.04.1, tray icon would not open the settings - so I can confirm bug is present in .1 LTS release as well.
Restarting the app indicator fixed it! I needed this only once to set Selective Sync on this new install - so I'm not going to bother with setting up a script to run the fix on every boot - hopefully DROPBOX will fix this soon.
/usr/bin/gnome-extensions disable ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com
/usr/bin/gnome-extensions enable ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.comThis worked perfectly for me! Thank you aristocles
aristocles, I'll try what you suggested. Seems a nice way to fix it at least while we're waiting for them to fix that for good.
