Can you tell me if Dbus, that I compiled, works well in Tahrpup, too? I haven't tried yet.

yes, thank you, Whitesnow.

Good (and useful) to know and spread.

hi Whitesnow,

it might be worth including the dropbox.py script https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/dropbox.py it allows you to control dropbox from the command line.

for instance i have a small script in my public folder.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/dropbox.py puburl "$@" | xclip -i -selection clipboard

if i drag a file from my public folder onto it , i get the download link put straight into the clipboard.

Hi 666philb,
I knew that script, but I never thought about its potentiality, until now.
Next release of MyDbox will download that script, too.

for instance i have a small script in my public folder.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/dropbox.py puburl "$@" | xclip -i -selection clipboard

if i drag a file from my public folder onto it , i get the download link put straight into the clipboard.

Many thanks for sharing this useful script!

December 14th, 2014 UPDATE: 1.2 version available.
Look at first post, in this thread, to find the pet.

Enjoy!

Thank you very much Whitesnow
Finally Dropbox works on Quirky 7.2.1 32bit using dbus-1.8.12_i686.pet from your repository and after the following command...

Code: Select all

dbus-uuidgen > /etc/machine-id

Still there is no autostart but it is no too bad: I can start from Internet Menu.

It works fine for me in Slacko 6.3.2. I really needed Dropbox for my netbook.

Thanks for doing this!

Works well in Quirky Xerus and RUXerus. --Tks

in a fresh slacko 6.3.2., when i try to install the mydbox 1.2.pet package, i get a "failed to install" message. no dropbox has been formerly installed. the dbus 1.6 is installed in this distribution. i get the same error message when wanting to install the dbus 1.12.pet package. any help?

I have tested working mydbox-1.2_noarch.pet in my frugal install of slacko 6.3.2. Perhaps was the download link temporaly unavailable? Try again.

thank you for your kind reply. yes, now the installation worked. but there is no menu entry, and i don't know how to start mydbox or the dropbox installer.

i just made a fresh install of a slacko 632, then tried to install the Dbus and Mydbox pet packages, and also got a "failed to install" window ??

[watchdog]

I confirm it's working for me in a fresh install of slacko 6.3.2 32 bit. No need to install an alien dbus.

thank you for your feedback. i don't have any idea why i get a "failed to install" message when clicking on the mydbox.pet package. i tried to give all permissions to the file, but it does not help.
on the other slacko 632 that i am currently using, the package installs itself, it is said that the menu entries are updated. but i don't see anyway to start the dropbox process. there is no such an entry in the menu.

jmm, it works for me, Slaxen 6.3.2

thank you for your feedback. from all puppy distrib i tried, the dropbox install works only in tahr 6/0/5. it seems it also works in toopy-precise.
