Dropbox was working fine until I had to change the ubuntu username and now when I try to start dropbox with dropbox start command in terminal, dropbox says The Dropbox daemon is not installed! However, I have installed the daemon from using the instructions of the Dropbox website.
In any case when I try to install the daemon, with dropbox start -i, - which freezes while unpacking at 20% and gives the following information in an errorbox
Trouble connecting to Dropbox servers. Maybe your internet connection is down, or you need to set your http_proxy environment variable in an error box. To this end, the host and hostname had my previous username which I have changed but still no avail.
I have no proxy set.
The error in the terminal is:
'Starting Dropbox...[Errno 26] Text file busy: '/home/myusername/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x8664-3.0.5/library.zip''
which is similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-dropbox/+bug/818014 which seems to have been fixed. Anywork around?
