after completely removing and then reinstalling dropbox, the daemon downloader window comes up, finally followed by a window with a "Start dropbox" button, but pushing that button does not actually succeed in starting dropbox.
3. Building from source. It compiles, and sudo make install appears to succeed, but I still don't see any nautilus-dropbox integration or get any synching, and dropbox status still shows "Dropbox isn't running".
I don't know if this is related or not, but the standard apt way of installing nautilus-dropbox fails too. It complains about dropbox not being installed, even if it is actually installed! I pasted in the message below. I thought that building from source would workaround that problem, but even that doesn't actually get dropbox running.
sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Also, can you let me know if you have "Early releases" toggled on at the bottom of your account settings? This will let me know if you're using a beta version of the app. Please toggle this off if it's currently on and then try reinstall the app once more.

I checked, and I don't have the early-releases setting toggled on. So, I just have regular Dropbox, not any sort of beta version. I should have given that info in my original post, come to think of it. The output on my linux box of the command "dropbox version" is:
An update: this problem is solved now. It turned out to be due to a clash with Docker. I had been running into problems mounting SMB shares, and my sys-admin looked into it. Here is what he wrote, about that SMB problem:
Yes, that looks correct. There is also some info in SourceKit-LSP's README detailing (more briefly) how to get the VSCode extension working. My only suggestion is that you may want to consider using a tool like swiftenv to manage Swift versions rather than just adding the latest toolchain snapshot to your path.
I confirm that VS Code works fine with Swift on Linux. I've been using it since Swift 4. SourceKit-LSP made it better. It's not as great as XCode on Mac, but it's good enough, even for real development. Of course you couldn't do iOS/macOS development on Linux.
I really think the Swift team should start thinking of developing a Swift-based IDE for linux platforms and linux development,cause I can't see swift progressing on their "Swift on Server" goal without a good IDE on linux platform.
Are other things working, like type definitions on hover? Documentation certainly works for me, but I don't think that code navigation (e.g. jump to definition) is yet working in non-trivial contexts.
When you hover over a method, for example, you should get a tooltip which details the type signature of the method. I am not on Ubuntu 19.04, I use Arch (btw), but Ubuntu is more properly supported, so I imagine that the distro version would not be an issue.
I've been using VS Code with Swift on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04. Yes, the sourcekit-lsp isn't stable yet. Sometimes it just hangs up, mostly on a large project or big source code file or has lots of imports. But for most little projects, it mostly works fine. Your mile may vary though because we're talking about a project that is still being actively developed.
I use Sublime Text 3 and followed the SourceKit-LSP guide for Swift development. You will need to either install the Decent Swift Syntax package or the Swift package via Package Control. I recommend Decent Swift Syntax as it appears to be much more up-to-date.
I have moved my code to tomHastik / dotfiles GitLab in response to Github dealing with ICE and putting kids in cages - which I just cannot stand. The repo is kind of outdated, but you will get the idea what you are able to do with vim.
Ubuntu (/ʊˈbʊntuː/ uu-BUUN-too)[7] is a Linux distribution derived from Debian and composed mostly of free and open-source software.[8][9][10] Ubuntu is officially released in multiple editions: Desktop,[11] Server,[12] and Core[13] for Internet of things devices[14] and robots.[15][16] The operating system is developed by the British company Canonical,[17] and a community of other developers, under a meritocratic governance model.[7][18] As of April 2024[update], the most-recent long-term support release is 24.04 ("Noble Numbat").
As with other Linux distributions, all of the editions can run on a computer alone, or in a virtual machine. An upgrade to Ubuntu is released every six months, with long-term support (LTS) releases every two years.[7][19][20] Canonical provides security updates and support for each Ubuntu release, starting from the release date until the release reaches its designated end-of-life (EOL) date.[7][21][22] Canonical generates revenue through the sale of premium services related to Ubuntu and donations from those who download the Ubuntu software.[23][24][25]
Ubuntu is named after the Nguni philosophy of ubuntu, "humanity to others" with a connotation of "I am what I am because of who we all are".[7] Since the release of the first version in 2004, Ubuntu has become one of the most popular Linux distributions for general purposes[26][27] and is backed by large online communities like Ask Ubuntu. Numerous community-editions of Ubuntu also exist.[28] It is also popular for cloud computing, with support for OpenStack.[29]
Ubuntu is built on Debian's architecture and infrastructure, and comprises Linux server, desktop and discontinued phone and tablet operating system versions.[30] Ubuntu releases updated versions predictably every six months,[31] and each release receives free support for nine months (eighteen months prior to 13.04)[32] with security fixes, high-impact bug fixes and conservative, substantially beneficial low-risk bug fixes.[33] The first release was in October 2004.[34]
Current long-term support (LTS) releases are supported for five years, and are released every two years. Since the release of Ubuntu 6.06, every fourth release receives long-term support.[31] Long-term support includes updates for new hardware, security patches and updates to the 'Ubuntu stack' (cloud computing infrastructure).[35] The first LTS releases were supported for three years on the desktop and five years on the server; since Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, desktop support for LTS releases was increased to five years as well.[36][37][38] LTS releases get regular point releases with support for new hardware and integration of all the updates published in that series to date.[39]
Ubuntu packages are based on Debian's unstable branch, which are synchronized every six months. Both distributions use Debian's deb package format and package management tools (e.g. APT and Ubuntu Software). Debian and Ubuntu packages are not necessarily binary compatible with each other, however, so packages may need to be rebuilt from source to be used in Ubuntu.[40] Many Ubuntu developers are also maintainers of key packages within Debian. Ubuntu cooperates with Debian by pushing changes back to Debian,[41] although there has been criticism that this does not happen often enough. Ian Murdock, the founder of Debian, had expressed concern about Ubuntu packages potentially diverging too far from Debian to remain compatible.[42] Before release, packages are imported from Debian unstable continuously and merged with Ubuntu-specific modifications. At some point during the release process, the Debian Import Freeze is implemented. This prevents the automatic import of packages from Debian without an explicit request from a developer. In combination with other freezes, this helps packagers ensure that frozen features interoperate well together.[43][44]
Ubuntu is currently funded by Canonical Ltd. On 8 July 2005, Mark Shuttleworth and Canonical announced the creation of the Ubuntu Foundation and provided initial funding of US$10 million. The purpose of the foundation is to ensure the support and development for all future versions of Ubuntu. Mark Shuttleworth describes the foundation goal as to ensure the continuity of the Ubuntu project.[45]
A default installation of Ubuntu as of version 23.10 contains a minimal selection of software, namely a web browser (Firefox) and basic GNOME utilities.[48] Many additional software packages are accessible from the built-in Ubuntu Software (previously Ubuntu Software Center) as well as any other APT-based package management tools. Many additional software packages that are no longer installed by default, such as Evolution, GIMP, Pidgin, and Synaptic, are still accessible in the repositories and installable by the main tool or by any other APT-based package management tool. Cross-distribution snap packages and Flatpaks are also available,[49] that both allow installing software, such as some of Microsoft's software, in most of the major Linux operating systems (such as any currently supported Ubuntu version and in Fedora). The default file manager is GNOME Files, formerly called Nautilus.[50][51]
