Dropbox, mouse, and chrome settings not saved. And a word on the Log Out options

LL has taken the initiative here and are providing Dropbox via our own repo. Do Install Updates, then Lite Software to get it.

I uninstalled.  Went to home folder.  Hit Ctrl H.  Looked for the .dropbox folder.  There was not one.  I rebooted, and reinstalled using Lite Software.  Same result of nothing happening except an authentication window showing up after around 30 seconds after I clicked on the dropbox icon. 

BTW, I'm away from my desktop.  I have a fresh install on my laptop, and I did the above.  I've attached a system report for the record.

I take it you did Install Updates first as instructed?

[torreydale]

I did.

[Valtam]

Open a terminal and do:

Code:

dpkg -s lite-software

and paste the result here.

That tells me you haven't done Install Updates first. You need to do that first. You're going to have to remove any trace of Dropbox as well. Then install it via Lite Software.

Before I saw your message tonight I had just done an update via the terminal.  I did it again and then all the other things I said, but I'm going for it again.  This time with the gui update.  Standby.

[torreydale]

Got it.  This time I used the Install Updates tool.  Checked for the .dropbox folder.  It wasn't there.  Went to Synaptic and removed the Nautilus-Dropbox package.  Rebooted.  Installed Dropbox via Lite Software.  Opened Dropbox.  Got this popup:  http://imgur.com/84tQqKm, and from there was prompted for login credentials.

Thanks.

No problem
