Dropbox will not run

Briefly describe your issue below:

Dropbox seemed to install correctly. It run when I first installed it. But I am not getting the icon on the system tray. When I try to run it from the menu, nothing happens. When I do a “ps -ef | grep dropbox” I don’t find anything.

When I try to run from my user login I get:

Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-devel.inc

Parent pid 2326, child pid 2328

Parent is shutting down, bye…

When I try to run with sudo I get:

[1]+ Stopped sudo dropbox

If there are any similar issues or solutions, link to them below:

If there are any error messages or relevant logs, post them below:

firejail disabled python3 of dropbox process. Technically, firejail blocks all interpreter and system command to protect user. You have to add python3 in dropbox profile.

I have never changed my dropbox profile before. Could you point me in the right direction?

It should be in here. Or you can run dropbox as command firejail --noproflie dropbox

Did not seem to work:

$sudo firejail --noprofile dropbox
Parent pid 6601, child pid 6602
The new log directory is /proc/6602/root/var/log

I am beginning to think that parrotos is not suitable as an everyday desktop system.

There should be no sudo in the command
