Dropbox cannot work on my Ubuntu 13.10 laptop - dropbox

Dropbox is not working on my laptop ubuntu 13.10, it is keep saying connecting and the Dropbox icon on the menu bar is grey.
I tried to install Dropbox with the following ways and all failed.
1) sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox
2) install from Ubuntu Software Center
3) downloads dropbox .deb file from dropbox offical website
Finally, I re-install my laptop with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and tried with 1) I mentioned above, and it works.
Is there anyone know why it is not working?

Add Dropbox’s repository key
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 5044912E
Add Dropbox’s repository
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu saucy main"
update and install Dropbox
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox
When prompted with the screen, click Next.
Click Start Dropbox to continue.
You can see that Saucy is available at http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu/dists/ so it should be working.

These two lines will fix your problem:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dropbox/.dropbox-dist
dropbox start -i

How to automount usb after kiosk mode enable in raspberry Pi 4 with buster os?

Problem with Kiosk mode and USB access.
I have installed buster on raspberry Pi 4. And for open chromiam browser at startup, I enabled kiosk mode.
Now I have a problem that, it does not mount USB device (flash drives) at /media/pi
Any help and suggestions would be very helpful!
Raspbian Buster lite (without GUI) doesn't mount USB devices automatically out of the box.
There is a software called "usbmount" which adds this functionality.
You can install it using
sudo apt-get install usbmount
Then reboot the Pi
sudo reboot now
http://www.howtoeverything.net/linux/raspberry-pi/automount-external-hard-disks-raspberry-pi
I'm using Buster Lite and ran into a problem with installing usbmount. The error I got was "unable to locate package usbmount". I found the solution, and I am append my solution to this thread since this thread shows up on some search-engines pretty high up.
The solution I used was to clone the github repo from https://github.com/rbrito/usbmount/ and build it (instructions below is partially from the readme)
git clone https://github.com/rbrito/usbmount.git
cd usbmount
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y debhelper build-essential exfat-fuse exfat-utils
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i usbmount_0.0.24_all.deb
Additionally, use
sudo nano /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf
to add exfat to the list of file-systems
save and reboot

JetBrains Rider EAP on Linux - Solution load failed: MsBuild not found

Just installed the latest version of Rider EAP (163.12057) and tried to create a new solution.
In my Solution Explorer its shows my Solution and (load failed).
In the Event Log window I get the error message:
Solution 'FirstSolution' load failed: MsBuild not found on this machine
Any ideas on how I can solve this loading problem?
Thanks in advance!
I managed to solve the loading error.
I was missing Mono and found out through this thread here that Rider currently needs Mono 4.6.2.
I followed this guide to install Mono.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mono-devel
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
I hope this will help someone else.
UPDATE: Asp.Net Core
if you'll be using Asp.Net Core, and encounter error about missing xsp.exe you might need to install mono-xsp4 with this command
sudo apt-get install mono-xsp4
Accepted answer led me to the official guide: Mono-project download
This can help with various other systems (different than Debian). It helped me to get through the process and resolved problem on Ubuntu 18.04.
For Ubuntu 18.04 it is, first Add the Mono repository to your system:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-bionic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
sudo apt update
then,
sudo apt install mono-devel
sudo apt install mono-complete
For Arch Linux and derivatives you'll need:
sudo pacman -S mono mono-tools msbuild
Invalidate caches & Restart on Jetbrains to apply

Can not make ubuntu virtual machine fullscreen

i am using windows 8.1 on a 15 inch laptop. I have installed ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS on virtual box and have also installed the guest addition.But still i am not getting the "auto-resize guest display "or "seamless mode" option in the view menu?
From the menu bar,
Click on "Devices." You will see "Insert Guest Additions CD Image" option there.
"Insert Guest Additions CD Image" inserts a disk image on a virtual CD on your machine.
This virtual CD usually starts automatically with autorun, but if not, just go to "Computer" and launch the "VboxWindowsAdditions" exe file on the CD and follow the installation
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop
Here below steps works for me ---
Upgraded linux-image and headers sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.11.0-15-generic linux-headers-3.11.0-15-generic (Perhaps virtual would work just as well as the generic one.):
Installed linux-image-extras with the hyperv-drivers:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-virtual
Set video mode (Pretty much what you already did):
Set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1680x1050" in /etc/default/grub.
Update grub: sudo update-grub
Reboot
refer below link for more detail https://askubuntu.com/questions/384602/ubuntu-hyper-v-guest-display-resolution
First, type the following in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install gcc perl make
After this, you can follow these steps:
Click on "Devices." You will see "Insert Guest Additions CD Image" option there.
"After clicking a Dialog Box opens up, Click on Run.
After it is installed, restart the VM.
I was stuck with the same problem. I did it manually from the ubuntu terminal, here are the steps:-
1 cd /media
2 ls
3 mkdir device cdrom1
4 sudo mkdir device cdrom1
5 ls
6 sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom1
7 cd cdrom1/
8 ls
9 sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
10 sudo reboot
This worked for me.

how to install mono offline?

I am behind proxy and I am trying to install mono by executing the following command on Ubuntu server 14.04 LTS for dotnet development. I am getting into error "gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error". I searched and tried several suggestions but it's not helping.
Is there a way to download this outside proxy and install this offline on my server?
ellismg#linux:~$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
ellismg#linux:~$ echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
ellismg#linux:~$ sudo apt-get update
ellismg#linux:~$ sudo apt-get install mono-devel
Looks like it fails getting the gpg key.
Instead of the first command you can just open https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF in a browser and copy the key into a file. Then run "sudo apt-key add file.gpg"
sudo <command> didn't work but it worked when I logged in as root.
This is still not the complete solution as root login is not available to all.
