I've done the uninstall and reinstall procedure you suggested, and nothing happened. So I opened up a terminal and typed in the following:...But the Dropbox indicator would show up in the panel at that point. The Thunar File Manager would open to the Dropbox folder, and I would get a popup saying "Failed to open directory "Dropbox". Permission Denied.All this is refreshing my memory on why I eventually installed Dropbox from the Dropbox.com website.
sudo chmod 666 /var/lib/dropbox/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.6.7/futures-2.1.3-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/top_level.txt
By the way, you mentioned Suspend and Hibernate are notoriously faulty with Ubuntu and it's ongoing. Any word on what I mentioned about getting the black screen when using the Log Out option?
