Raidrive installation hangs at 60% on MX Linux 23

Hi there,

I’m trying to install ‘raidrive_2024.9.27.6-linux_amd64.deb’ on my MX Linux 23 laptop. The installation always hangs at 60% and I have to keep cancelling it. What is going wrong and how do I fix it please?

I seem to be able to use ‘raidrivecli’ in the terminal, but when I try to ‘raidrivecli add dropbox’, it returns “Can’t connect to Dropbox service”.

Cheers,
MB

Hi @mahoganybomber,

We reproduced this issue in MX Linux 23.6.
We don’t know why this happens yet, but we verified that the installation was successful by following steps (obviously not a typical procedure):

sudo apt install ./raidrive_2024.9.27.6-linux_amd64.deb

Execute another shell.

sudo killall apt

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt update

raidrivecli
