I run Ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-25) on an x86 machine and try to install Dropbox by downloading the latest .deb file from the website.
Now, first it will install dropbox-nautilus
(requiring me to restart Nautilus before that) and then ask me to start Dropbox itself.
The Dropbox client opens and indefinitely waits for a connection as there is a connection error.
Of course, I don't use a proxy server and I'm writing this post from this very machine, so there's no problem with the internet connection. I'm not using a firewall (at least not that I know of, the Ubuntu installation is relatively untouched so far).
Does anybody have some pointers?
