Dropbox install stuck at 99%, how do I fix it? (and any dpkg errors)
- by John
I tried to install Dropbox using How to install Dropbox?, or with apt-get install nautilus-dropbox.
Dropbox loads until 99% and then hangs, causing the system to go to 100% cpu usage.
If I reboot or close the terminal, I sometimes get dpkg errors which prevent me from using apt-get or Software Center to perform any package management functions.
I would like to resolve all these and just get Dropbox working. How do I do that?
Note: This question is possibly answered in two parts:
The accepted answer tells you how to install Dropbox.
But if you have dpkg errors, see this answer before you use answer 1 to install Dropbox.
