I downloaded Dropbox from the official site and then installed it via Ubuntu's software installer. A message advised me to restart my session, so I logged out and in. No Dropbox.
So I chose Dropbox by searching it and the clicking via Activities. The message about installing Dropbox and then about restarting Nautilus appeared. I made my choices, but no Dropbox.
From command line, I chose dopbox running - no Dropbox.
dropbox start gives the following message:
Starting Dropbox...Traceback (most recent call last):

ret = main(sys.argv)

if not start_dropbox():

I've tried this over and over with exactly the same result. Anybody know how to install Dropbox?
