Phew, been busy at work and too tired at home to do anything for this project, or had other stuff to do. Today I've had a good night of sleep and will code some python. Lets see if gf will get in the way at some point

Close the app manager
Open a terminal
Enter the following commands:
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install python2.5-qt4-gui
When the command is finished, open the app manager again and install dropn900

Like they said previously that command will go through and update a lot of the qt packages and then everything seems to work okay
This is not right, I have that package as a dependency. Are you sure you did apt-get update; before you installed dropn900. I just think it installed some older ones, that conflicted with some python2.5-qt4-* packages so you had to upgrade them all. If you didn't have any python2.5-qt4- packages before installing dropn900 I cant see how it could have failed.

Well, I'm glad you got it fixed others coming here will find yout post useful

I'm unable to see or download anything from my account. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind, Dropbox was just playing up. It's all good now.
Alright, I thought this was a bit strange. There is no good reason why you would not get metadata if you login has succeeded. I can think of N900 being offline (dropped after login) or dropbox servers being busy (should be quite rare, they are slow sometimes though when I'm testing). Third possibility is a bug in my code for some special action combo you throw at it, restart should fix those
