Is i3 compatible with Dropbox/UbuntuOne apps in Ubuntu ?
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
How 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.
this has nothing to do with the window manager you use. start the respective daemons and it will work.
I 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.
