I have some questions about executing Dropbox on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ( 32bit ).
After I followed this instruction and tried to install Dropbox,
32-bit:
cd ~ && wget -O - "" | tar xzf -
when I typed this instruction to continue,
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
the cursor is left at the same position, and nothing popped out, so I can't continue...
The Dropbox icon on the right-up-side bar remains grey...
and when I type this in the terminal
dropbox status
it keeps showing "Connecting...", and nothing happens.
I tried to reinstall (remove and install again, logout and login), it just can't work.
Can someone please help me on this issue ?

Remove that installation. Then go to your home folder and delete .dropbox and .dropbox-dist folders.
Install it again from here:
In my case it was because I set Dropbox to sync to an automounted partition. When I changed it to a local system partition and restarted the service it started working.
