I've seen this suggestedMenu>Settings>Window Manager TweaksCompositor Tabuntick "Enable display composting"Good thread here https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201277199-Linux-version-keeps-updating-to-3-0-3-which-can-not-workI downloaded the old version from the link on post 4 and went that way.
To remove existing Dropbox, open a terminal and do:Code: [Select]sudo apt-get remove --purge dropboxthen:Code: [Select]sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dropbox.listthen:Code: [Select]sudo apt-get updatethen:Open your home folder, press Ctrl+H and remove any hidden folders with the name 'dropbox' that you see.Menu, Settings, Session and Startup, Application Autostart tab, make sure there is no entry fro Dropbox, if there is try to remove or untick it. After that I would reboot, just to ensure there is no daemon running.Then use Menu > System > Install Additional Software to install it correctly.
sudo apt-get remove --purge dropbox
sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dropbox.list
sudo apt-get update
So how would I go about manually uninstalling the current Dropbox prior to installing it via the Install Additional Software GUI ?
Dropbox should be installed from Menu > All > Install Additional Software.
Hi Vaikus84,I don't know if your installation method will cause any problems in Linux Lite (I'm sure others on the fourm will be able to answer that) but is the missing icon always missing or does it appear sometimes when you reboot?
So I installed the latest Dropbox that there is when currently posting this issue
A few retarts later the Dropbox Icon was gone. But when I look at Task Manager the application is running like it should.
