Install Fails on Ubuntu 22.04
Brand new installation of Ubuntu 22.04 I go to https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux and click on Ubuntu 14.04 - 22.04 (.deb) 64-bit The file dropbox_2020.03.04_amd64.deb appears in my download dir...
As seems you have already installed Dropbox application (despite partially - probably forcibly - it's never good idea, don't do it). Try finish installation using:
sudo apt-get install dropbox
Hi wrishel,
As seems, wrong file association of deb files. Anyways... You can always install it using command line, like:
sudo dpkg -i dropbox_2020.03.04_amd64.deb
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the quick response. I guess this meets the programmer's definition of progress, it gets me to a different error message. Dropbox seems to depend on a specific version of libpango but libpango has advanced to a much later version. I'm not sure what to do about this.
