I try to install dropbox on Centos8, however Terminal gives strange errors. Tried different commands, same error.
Firstly downloaded *.rpm file from dropbox website, currently trying to install it.
Commands I tried:
rpm -ivh nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.fedora.x86_64.rpm
yum localinstall nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.fedora.x86_64.rpm
Error:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:18:27 ago on Thu 12 Mar 2020 03:46:17 PM EET
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
nothing provides libgnome >= %{gnome_version} needed by nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.fc21.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
[root#localhost Downloads]
Also tried --skip-broken and --nobest - but no luck.
Also tried sudo yum install libgnome but it gives error:
Last metadata expiration check: 9:51:39 ago on Thu 12 Mar 2020 02:42:06 PM UTC.
No match for argument: libgnome
Error: Unable to find a match: libgnome
I have:
[adminuser#localhost ~]$ cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 8.1.1911 (Core)
Tried to google this mistake, but no luck. Could you please give me any hint how I could overcome this?
Thank you
This is a bug in packaging. Contact Dropbox support and report it as a bug.
Technical details (just in case you are Dropbox employee):
During building rpm, when you use macro then it is expanded. Try yoursel:
$ rpm --eval '%{_bindir}'
/usr/bin
However, when the macro is not defined, you get original value:
$ rpm --eval '%{some_bullshit}'
%{some_bullshit}
So the macro gnome_version should likely contain some version, but this macro was not defined.
nothing provides libgnome
"libgnome" is about libgnome-2 → https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/ → I.e. Fedora only packages. CentOS 8 has no libgnome* available.
https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux → Compile from source → CentOS 8
# dnf install nautilus-devel-3.28.1-10.el8.x86_64 python3-docutils
tar xvf nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04.tar.bz2
cd nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04/
./configure && make
# make install
Result : nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.el8.x86_64.rpm https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AcxlVdbWOzQvcoVOFYCiaVny9MzgC-Ea/view?usp=sharing
# rpm -Uvh nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.el8.x86_64.rpm : No issues.
First, realize that the command showing at the install page is for the headless installation. It will probably work, but my preference is to use Dropbox with nautilus integration.
This instructions assumes a installation of Dropbox with Nautilus integration.
We need to compile the installer from source.
a. Download last package
wget https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04.tar.bz2
b. Extract tarball
tar xjf ./nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04.tar.bz2
c. Try to compile
cd nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04; ./configure;
Then you get an Error:
Erro:
Problema: conflicting requests
- nothing provides libgnome >= %{gnome_version} needed by nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.fc21.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
Now we need to install nautilus-devel and python3-docutils
NOTE: You will get configure: error: couldn't find docutils if forget python3-docutils.
This command will enable the PowerTools repository and install what is needed:
dnf --enablerepo=PowerTools install nautilus-devel python3-docutils
Now you can run ./configure && sudo make install
That's it. Go for the start menu type "Dropbox", it will start the installer.
Restore a local backup of Dropbox (optional)
If you have a local backup, turn of the network after you see the Dropbox folder created. Then copy all your files to that folder and turn it on after copy.
This solution worked for me running CentOS Linux release 8.2.2004 (Core).

I am trying to set up PyBOSSA on an AWS EC2 instance running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I am following the official instructions and have encountered three errors so far.
sudo apt-get install -y git postgresql postgresql-all postgresql-server-dev-all libpq-dev python-psycopg2 libsasl2-dev libldap2-dev libssl-dev python-virtualenv python-dev build-essential libjpeg-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev dbus libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev python-pip python3-pip redis-server
cd ~
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Scifabric/pybossa
cd pybossa
virtualenv -p python3 env (I'm using Python3 explicitly as my system also has Python 2.7 installed).
source env/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install -r ~/pybossa/requirements.txt
At this point, I start getting error messages... I have copied the stdout and stderr into a file, which I have uploaded here.
I'm not sure if the errors there are what have caused my later errors, but I pushed on through the instructions anyway in hopes it'd work...
cp settings_local.py.tmpl settings_local.py
cp alembic.ini.template alembic.ini
redis-server contrib/sentinel.conf --sentinel
I noted that the Redis server version was 4.0.9 (the instructions say it needs to be v2.6 or greater).
The output from starting the Redis server was as follows:
30284:X 30 Mar 03:09:22.004 # oO0OoO0OoO0Oo Redis is starting oO0OoO0OoO0Oo
30284:X 30 Mar 03:09:22.004 # Redis version=4.0.9, bits=64, commit=00000000, modified=0, pid=30284, just started
30284:X 30 Mar 03:09:22.004 # Configuration loaded
...I gather that's ok...
rqscheduler --host 127.0.0.1
This command wasn't installed on my system. I tried to use apt to install it, but there was nothing there. I also tried apt install rq rqscheduler rq-scheduler - nothing found. I then Googled and found the website for rq-scheduler, and found that I could install it by running pip install rq-scheduler
That installed correctly. Nonetheless, running the command rqscheduler --host 127.0.0.1 in the terminal still failed: rqscheduler: command not found.
Knowing that it was a Python package, I wondered if maybe I needed to prepend python3 onto the start of the command: python3 rqscheduler --host 127.0.0.1. Response: python3: can't open file 'rqscheduler': [Errno 2] No such file or directory.
I also tried pip3 install rq-scheduler (which installed fine) and then running the command, but encountered the same error.
I would appreciate knowing how to get that running, but for the purpose of this test, I skipped setting up Regis and the scheduler, and continued with the PyBOSSA instructions:
sudo su postgres
createuser -d -P pybossa
(Password set)
createdb pybossa -O pybossa
exit
python3 cli.py db_create
...and then I got this error:
File "cli.py", line 162
'''SELECT id, created FROM task_run WHERE created LIKE ('\x%')''')
^
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 54-55: truncated \xXX escape
I instead tried python cli.py db_create, just in case it'd work, and got a different error:
python cli.py db_create
ValueError: invalid \x escape
So I'm seeing three separate issues:
Installing the PyBOSSA-required Python packages.
The issue with the rqscheduler command.
The error when starting the PyBOSSA server.
What do these errors mean?
1 ) For the installation, try this:
virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Which ended with no error.
2) Try :
pip install rq-scheduler==0.9.1
or
pip3 install rq-scheduler==0.9.1
3) The \ char need to be escaped (like \\) in python.
So you may alter the cli.py line 162 (using text editor) from:
'''SELECT id, created FROM task_run WHERE created LIKE ('\x%')''')
To:
'''SELECT id, created FROM task_run WHERE created LIKE ('\\x%')''')
But it will be better to be fixed by dev on github ...
CONCLUSION
According to official documentation,
PYBOSSA for python 3 We’ve finally migrated PYBOSSA to python 3. We’re
not going to merge into master until we test it in production a bit
more, so please, help us by testing it. All you have to do is
basically, check out the python3 branch (migrate-python3) and run it.
Then, any bug, issue you find, you just report it and we will be happy
to help you.
The PYBOSSA python3 version is freshly migrated so finaly is not very stable ... I expect that it will be better to use the PYBOSSA python2.7 branch and follow exactly the documentation.
And according to official github account they try to make money with support (?...)
Get professional support You can hire us to help you with your PYBOSSA
project or server (specially for python 2.7). Go to our website, and
contact us.
The issue has now been fixed for the master branch (https://github.com/Scifabric/pybossa/pull/1986). You can fetch the new code and use it.
I'm trying to install this package ncurses5-compat-libs but I can because of the following problem.
What I did:
1. yay ncurses5-compat-libs
There are 2 types of errors:
Either I will check 'Y' and I will add the key, so in this case, I will receive the error message as follow
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Permission denied
==> Error: Problem importing keys
Or I will check as 'n' to don't add the key and I will receive
==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
ncurses-6.1.tar.gz ... FAILED (unknown public key 702353E0F7E48EDB)
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!

2. sudo gpg --recv-keys C52048C0C0748FEE227D47A2702353E0F7E48EDB
I've tried to add it manually but it didn't work.
3. sudo gpg --recv-keys 702353E0F7E48EDB
Also this one I've tried to add it manually but it didn't work
4. yay -S --noconfirm --needed ncurses5-compat-libs
5. Trying to fallow this forum
and least but not last
6. I've tried to clone the repository by hand by following
git clone http://aur.archlinux.org/ncurses5-compat-libs.git
cd ncurses5-compat-libs
sudo gpg --recv-keys C52048C0C0748FEE227D47A2702353E0F7E48EDB
makepkg -sic
cd ..
sudo rm -r ncurses5-compat-libs
And guess what, I'm back from where I started...
==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
ncurses-6.1.tar.gz ... FAILED (unknown public key 702353E0F7E48EDB)
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!
Error downloading sources: ncurses5-compat-libs
Dose any of you guys have any idea how can I fix this problem? If so let me know because I'm getting crazy already not been able to fix this.
You shouldn't need specifically ncurses5-compat-libs if you have a higher version of ncurses. Because version 6 is backwards compatible with version 5. You need to check whether you have libtinfo.so.6 or not. If you have it then you just need to create a system link. Check if you have libtinfo.so.6, so Run:
ls /lib/ | grep libtinfo
if you can't see libtinfo.so.6, you need to install ncurses (the current latest version of it: 6.2) and then create a system link that I mentioned below. so run:
sudo pacman -S ncurses
sudo pacman -S lib32-ncurses
if you have libtinfo.so.6 then run:
sudo link /lib/libtinfo.so.6 /lib/libtinfo.so.5
I went a step further from creating the link in the other answer here:
sudo link /lib/libtinfo.so.6 /lib/libtinfo.so.5
And created a dummy package so I could build something that depended on that being a thing:
$ cat /opt/aur/ncurses5-compat-libs-dummy/PKGBUILD
pkgname='ncurses5-compat-libs'
pkgver=6.1
pkgrel=1
arch=(any)
provides=('libtinfo5')
$ cd /opt/aur/ncurses5-compat-libs/dummy
$ makepkg -si
worked like a charm
I've created a local yum repository for RHEL 7 on a separate server. Then I used the "reposync" command to get the packages from RHN.
reposync --download-metadata --gpgcheck -l --repoid=rhui-REGION-rhel-server-rh-common --download_path=/rhel_security_repo/
reposync --download-metadata --gpgcheck -l --repoid=rhui-REGION-rhel-server-optional --download_path=/rhel_security_repo/
reposync --download-metadata --gpgcheck -l --repoid=rhui-REGION-rhel-server-releases --download_path=/rhel_security_repo/
After that, I executed the following command to create my repo:
createrepo --database /rhel_security_repo/
The repository was created successfully with over than 9000 packages as expected. What I am trying to do now is to have other boxes using this local repository. I've created a yum config file in the other boxes where the baseurl points to this server with the local yum repository.
[security-updates-rhel7]
name=Repository for RHEL7 security updates
baseurl=ip-server
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
All the servers are able to talk to this server with the local yum repo and they can install packages from it.
The problem is I can't update packages when I run yum update --security:
Example:
yum --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="security-updates-rhel7" --security update mariadb-libs
Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb
--> 1:mariadb-libs-5.5.37-1.el7_0.x86_64 from #rhui-REGION-rhel-server-releases removed (updateinfo)
--> 1:mariadb-libs-5.5.40-2.el7_0.x86_64 from security-updates-rhel7 removed (updateinfo)
No packages needed for security; 1 packages available

However, if I run the command without --security, I can see available updates:
yum --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="security-updates-rhel7" update mariadb-libs
Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb

Is this ok [y/d/N]:
It seems I lost the security metadata when I did the reposync.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Etan has the right idea; those are the two ways we found to get around the issue with RHEL6. You could pull the Redhat metadata straight out of your yum cache and copy it into your local repo, and that works 90% of the time... but 10% it will give you random failures if Redhat happens to be updating a repository while you are syncing it.
Redhat has a guide for how to graft security metadata into your local repo in RHEL5/6, I assume it works similarly in RHEL7. If you have a Redhat Support account, see: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/55654
If you don't, below is my own take on it:
Run your reposync command with --download-metadata and other trimmings, but I would start with one repo at a time and put each one in it's own directory similar to how Redhat does it. ex. mkdir -p /path/to/repo-id && reposync -l -n --download-metadata -r repo-id -p /path/to/repo-id/.
Pull the abcdefghij-updateinfo.xml.gz metadata files from Redhat, which contains security metadata for each repository. Do this by running yum list-sec and then look for it in your local yum cache, under each repository's subdirectory. Probably somewhere in /var/cache/yum/arch/7Server/repo-id.
Run createrepo on just that repository. createrepo -v /path/to/repo-id/
Go into /path/to/repo-id/ and then into the repodata subfolder. Copy in the abcdefghij-updateinfo.xml.gz from your local yum cache into the repodata folder, but rename it to remove the hash at the beginning. Left with a file called updateinfo.xml.gz
Use the modifyrepo command to insert the security metadata into that repo's table of contents (repomd.xml) file.
modifyrepo /path/to/repo-id/updateinfo.xml.gz /path/to/repo-id/
I installed memcache in the following way:
1) yum install memcached
2) yum install php-pecl-memcached
3) Also enabled the 'memcached.so' in php.ini
I tested the memcached in the follwing way:
$mc = new Memcache;
$mc->addServer('localhost', 11211);
echo "Server's version: " . $mc->getVersion() ;
But it generates the following error:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/memcached.so' - /usr/lib64/php/modules/memcached.so: undefined symbol: php_json_encode in Unknown on line 0
PHP Fatal error: Class 'Memcache' not found in /root/memcacheTest.php on line 2
Thank u.
I don't know PHP well (or at all), but from the error message I'll hazzard a guess that you do not have the PHP JSON extension installed, which is apparently needed by the memchached extension.
Apparently, the JSON extension has been in PHP since version 5.2.0, therefore:
You have an older version and you need to upgrade or install the JSON extension yourself
or
Your operating system distributor supplies the PHP JSON extension in a different package that you have not installed.
There is of course the possibility of a misconfiguration, but I think it's slightly less likely.
This showed memcached.so didn't loaded successfully.
Error shows the reason: json.so should be load before memcached.so
Please use php -m | grep memcached to check whether memcached.so is loaded successfully.
If show memcached, this mean it succeeded.
If show like PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/memcached.so' - /usr/lib64/php/modules/memcached.so: undefined symbol: php_json_decode_ex in Unknown on line 0
Here is the solusion:
e.g your php.ini is /etc/php.ini, your php.d is /etc/php.d/
Solution 1
comment 'memcached.so' in php.ini
vim /etc/php.d/memcached.ini
add extension=memcached.so in /memcached.ini
php -m | grep memcached check whether memcached is succeed loaded
Solution 2
rm /etc/php.d/json.ini
add extension=json.so in php.in before extension=memcached.so
php -m | grep memcached check whether memcached is succeed loaded
Can you check and double check user permissions? Additionally, my experience with PHP is that the distribution repository versions of PHP aren't very good. I solved those symbol errors by compiling PHP from the ground up. But that's a very radical and time-consuming solution.
http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=17574&edit=1
Just make sure that extension=json.so is specified BEFORE
extension=memcached.so.
I had placed extension=memcached.so in php.ini, and extension=json.so
was specified in /etc/php.d/json.ini, that is parsed AFTER php.ini.
That is why PHP can't find php_json_encode() at the point of loading
memcached.so.
Also, check that the permissions on memcached.so are the same as the other extensions
Try to install the version 2.0. It helped for me.
yum -y install gcc-c++
wget http://launchpad.net/libmemcached/1.0/0.50/+download/libmemcached-0.50.tar.gz
tar xzf libmemcached-0.50.tar.gz

I have tried in all ways to get wkhtmltopdf installed on our web server but unfortunately it is not getting installed. I cannot access user/bin folder as stated in a tutorial on installation.
On the server in public_html folder there is a sub folder _vti_bin, I copied the file wkhtmltopdf-i386 from wkhtmltopdf-0.9.1-static-i386, but I am not able to execute it.
How to install wkhtmltopdf on (shared hosting) web server and get it working?
I've managed to successfully install wkhtmltopdf-amd64 on my shared hosting account without root access.
Here's what i did:
Downloaded the relevant static binary v0.10.0 from here: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/list
EDIT: The above has moved to here
via ssh on my shared host typed the following:
$ wget {relavant url to binary from link above}
$ tar -xvf {filename of above wget'd file}
you'll then have the binary on your host and will be able to run it regardless of if its in the /usr/bin/ folder or not. (or at least i was able to)
To test:
$ ./wkhtmltopdf-amd64 http://www.example.com example.pdf
Note remember that if you're in the folder in which the executable is, you should probably preface it with ./ just to be sure.
Worked for me anyway
If you have sudo access...
Ubuntu 14.04 / 15.04 / 18.04:
sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
# or
sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf
Others
Look at the other answers.
If its ubuntu then go ahead with this, already tested.:--
first, installing dependencies
sudo aptitude install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev
for 64bits OS
wget http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2
tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2
mv wkhtmltopdf-amd64 /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
for 32bits OS
wget http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2
tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2
mv wkhtmltopdf-i386 /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
Debian 8 Jessie
This works
sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
Chances are that without full access to this server (due to being a hosted account) you are going to have problems. I would go so far as to say that I think it is a fruitless endeavor--they have to lock servers down in hosted environments for good reason.
Call your hosting company and make the request to them to install it, but don't expect a good response--they typically won't install very custom items for single users unless there is a really good reason (bug fixes for example).
Lastly, depending on how familiar you are with server administration and what you are paying for server hosting now consider something like http://www.slicehost.com. $20 a month will get you a low grade web server (256 ram) and you can install anything you want. However, if you are running multiple sites or have heavy load the cost will go up as you need larger servers.

List of stable versions wkhtmltopdf: http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html
Installing wkhtmltopdf on Debian 8.2 (jessie) x64:
sudo apt-get install xfonts-75dpi
sudo apt-get install xfonts-base
sudo wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.2.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-jessie-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-jessie-amd64.deb
Shared hosting no ssh or shell access?
Here is how i did it;
Visit https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html and download the appropriate stable release for Linux. For my case I chose 32-bit
which is wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-i386.tar.xz
Unzip to a folder on your local drive.
Upload the folder to public_html (or whichever location fits your need) using an FTP program just like any other file(s)
Change the binary paths in snappy.php file to point the appropriate files in the folder you just uploaded.
Bingo! there you have it. You should be able to generate PDF files.
A few things have changed since the top answers were added. They used to work out for me, but not quite anymore, so I have been hacking around for a bit and came up with the following solution for Ubuntu 16.04. For Ubuntu 14.04, see the comment at the bottom of the answer. Apologies if this doesn't work for shared hosting, but it seems like this is the goto answer for wkhtmltopdf installation instructions in general.

tar -xf wkhtmltopdf.tar.xz
mv wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
Test it out:
wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com google.pdf
You should now have a file named google.pdf in the current working directory.
This approach downloads the binary from the website, meaning that you can use the latest version instead of relying on package managers to be updated.
Note that as of today, my solution includes a temporary fix to this bug. I realize that the solution is really not great, but hopefully it can be removed soon. Be sure to check the status of the linked GitHub issue to see if the fix is still necessary when you read this answer!
For Ubuntu 14.04, you will need to downgrade to a different version of libssl. You can find the versions here. Anyways, be sure to consider the implications of downgrading libssl before doing so on any production server.
I hope this helps someone!
After trying, below command work for me
cd ~
yum install -y xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 openssl git-core fontconfig
wget https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
tar xvf wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
mv wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmlto* /usr/bin
Version 12.5 of wkhtmltopdf only lists DEB files on their download page now. Being a mac user and not knowing much linux or what DEB files were I couldn't use the solutions posted.
This page helped me get past the knew twist of downloading a DEB file: http://www.g-loaded.eu/2008/01/28/how-to-extract-rpm-or-deb-packages/
Basically what I did was:
Downloaded from https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html
Unzipped the DEB file.
Unzipped data.tar.xz
Uploaded the binary in the unzipped 'usr' folder from step 3 (usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf)
Then I found out that the 'exec' function was disabled on my host. So make sure you can specifically run 'exec' if you're using PHP to run this. "Can I run the wkhtmltopdf binary" isn't specific enough. My fault.
