dropbox doesn't load in 14.04

What is the output of:

apt-cache policy nautilus-dropbox; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

From terminal. . .

No command '“alias' found, did you mean:
 Command '0alias' from package 'zeroinstall-injector' (universe)
“alias: command not found
“alias android-connect=”mtpfs -o allow_other /media/Galaxy”

Try:

sudo rm -r ~/.dropbox*

Then log off and on and run Dropbox from Dash.

Still get. . .

Authentication is needed to run '/usr/bin/dropbox' as the super user

. . . and dropbox doesn't launch

did software updates - 4/29/14
reboot
launching dropbox

Still get. . .

Authentication is needed to run '/usr/bin/dropbox' as the super user

window appears twice

. . . and dropbox doesn't launch

You could add enable suid on the dropbox binary
 It will then run as root by default

root@uBudly-Desk:/home/budly# chmod u+s usr/bin/dropbox
chmod: cannot access ‘usr/bin/dropbox’: No such file or directory

What is the output of :

which dropbox

Thanks

budly@uBudly-Desk:~$ which dropbox
/usr/bin/dropbox

File is text, not exe

Ok what is the output of:

file /usr/bin/dropbox; ls -la /usr/bin/dropbox

Thanks

budly@uBudly-Desk:~$ file /usr/bin/dropbox; ls -la /usr/bin/dropbox
/usr/bin/dropbox: Python script, ASCII text executable, with very long lines
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 113753 Jan 3 00:51 /usr/bin/dropbox

Appreciate the help.

If you run the command from terminal is there any output?

Thanks

If not then we'll take more drastic measures

The only output of. . .

 file /usr/bin/dropbox; ls -la /usr/bin/dropbox
/usr/bin/dropbox: Python script, ASCII text executable, with very long lines
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 113753 Jan 3 00:51 /usr/bin/dropbox

is that. . .

/usr/bin/dropbox

is in green.

The other text is in white.

sudo apt-get --purge remove nautilus-dropbox
rm -r ~/.dropb*
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox

Then follow the onscreen guide.

Ba Da Bing !!!!

Thank you for all your persistance and help, Mr. Actionparsnip.
