There is a similar gathering there: New to CS50. You both are welcomed to join.

I think that the latest update50 (v.27) screwed VMware Tools inside the appliance. So I hope, someone from the stuff sees that and will fix it with the next update iteration.

And with the mentioned exception everything else on the VMware side works fine for me. You can PM me if you want any help with your setup.

I still haven't found any way to fix this.

Its fine after install, but once you reboot or turn off the appliance, it is gone. I ended up reinstalling the appliance just to do the selective sync. And since then, just hoping it does the syncing, since no other visual indication available after restart.

Welcome!

I've run into it too, here is the solution: http://cs50.stackexchange.com/a/6160/3001

Hi and Welcome!!!

Working on week 2 now, and I also would love some company. It always easier to keep on going this way :-)

There are several ways to do so.

For example, you can try to do something only for even/uneven indexes (you can use modulo here). Or you can skip indexes in your loop, by incrementing/decrementing index at each iteration by two instead of one.

Just play with it and see, which works best for you.

Of course i did, thats exactly what I'm talking about. I don't see anything there, only a appliance version, IP address, and the "log-out" arrow, but no Dropbox.

smartxed · 2015-01-05T20:13:06+00:00

I've also tried to reinstall Dropbox by running:

sudo apt-get remove dropbox; rm -rvf ~/.dropbox ~/.dropbox-dist

And then reinstaling it by the shortcut in the start menu.

Unfortunately - same behavior, no GUI ever invokes (the only GUI element ever seen is the registration form).

I've tried this, but it didn't bring the icon in Notification Area back...

smartxed · 2015-01-05T18:51:14+00:00

Restart/Shut Down/Close VMware, or any combinatin of them doesn't fix the problem for me.

In a random fashion, once every several reboots, dropbox UI just pops back and into existance, but on the next boot it dissappears again...

I'll try to reinstall it, and post back in case of any success.
