Because I added couple of documents to dropbox folder and when I opened the website they weren't there. Meaning it seems syncing doesn't work when using i3wm. Is there a solution or workaround to this problem ? ------------------------------------------------- **EDIT: For those who want to start the UbuntuOne client**. Type : `Ubuntuone-launch` and to control it use the command `u1sdtool` Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:51:19 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1611/ubuntuone-and-dropbox/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1611/ubuntuone-and-dropbox/?answer=1615#post-id-1615this has nothing to do with the window manager you use. start the respective daemons and it will work.Thu, 11 Apr 2013 17:10:32 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1611/ubuntuone-and-dropbox/?answer=1615#post-id-1615https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1611/ubuntuone-and-dropbox/?comment=1616#comment-1616Ya, I just figured out that. I am still newb :-)Thu, 11 Apr 2013 17:18:52 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1611/ubuntuone-and-dropbox/?comment=1616#comment-1616https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1611/ubuntuone-and-dropbox/?answer=1617#post-id-1617I depend heavily on Dropbox, so it's one of the first things I got sorted with i3... Not only the sync works, but the Nautilus integration.  In my config file, I basically have this: exec ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd exec sudo bash -c "echo 100000 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches" (latter is required for Dropbox to manage large file quantities) Note: the command "dropbox" (/usr/bin/dropbox) does not work. Didn't spend too much time on this, but I guess it is because this is not the daemon, but the download/configuration for the proprietary stuff, which is stored in your ~/.dropbox-dist directory.Thu, 11 Apr 2013 21:49:34 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1611/ubuntuone-and-dropbox/?answer=1617#post-id-1617https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1611/ubuntuone-and-dropbox/?answer=1613#post-id-1613How about starting the Dropbox client first? If "dropbox start" works from the command line, put "exec --no-startup-id dropbox start" in your i3 config.Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:56:17 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1611/ubuntuone-and-dropbox/?answer=1613#post-id-1613https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1611/ubuntuone-and-dropbox/?comment=1614#comment-1614ya it says done after running `dropbox start` command. Let me try copying a file there.EDIT: it worked. Now trying to add the command to i3 config.Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:58:07 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1611/ubuntuone-and-dropbox/?comment=1614#comment-1614
