connecting... problem
The suggested connecting... problem's solution isn't helpful. It assumes that system connect to network after timeout seconds but on my system I have to unlock KDE Wallet before I can connect to internet. In that case any timeout is not helpful. The old script should be reposted.
#!/bin/sh # Copyright 2008 Evenflow, Inc., 2010 Dropbox # # Environment script for the dropbox executable. start_dropbox() { PAR=$(dirname $(readlink -f $0)) OLD_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PAR:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH TMP1=$(ps ax|grep dropbox|grep -v grep) if [ -n "$TMP1" ]; then kill -9 $(pidof dropbox) >/dev/null 2>&1 fi exec $PAR/dropbox $@ & } do_dropbox() { start_dropbox >/dev/null 2>&1 while [ 1 ]; do sleep 5 ERROR="$(net_test)" if [ -n "$ERROR" ]; then LAST_ERROR=1 else if [ -n "$LAST_ERROR" ]; then # Connection seems to be up but last cycle was down LAST_ERROR="" start_dropbox >/dev/null 2>&1 fi fi done } net_test() { TMP1="$(ip addr |grep "inet " |grep -v "127.0.0.1")" [ -z "$TMP1" ] && echo "error" } do_dropbox
Update 09/01/13 Added script until this issue is actually resolved by Dropbox.
