Topic: How to set-up Ubuntu One under #! 9.04.01
For anyone (with an invite) wishing to test the Ubuntu One client under CrunchBang 9.04.01, here are some quick and dirty instructions for getting it running:
1. Open your APT sources file with the following terminal command:
gksudo leafpad /etc/apt/sources.listadd the following line, save and exit:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntuone/beta/ubuntu jaunty main2. Add the PPA key with the following terminal command:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4BD0ECAE3. Update your APT sources and install the client software, enter the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-client ubuntuone-client-tools ubuntuone-client-gnome4. Once the above packages have downloaded and installed, enter the following command to start the client:
ubuntuone-client-applet --signup &^^ should take you to the Ubuntu One website where you can register your machine for use with the service. Note, you should now be able to see the Ubuntu One icon within your system tray and a new directory "Ubuntu One" within your home directory.
To start the Ubuntu One client at boot, simply add a reference to it within your Openbox autostart.sh file, something like the following should do it:
(sleep 60s && ubuntuone-client-applet) &Note also, I am not entirely sure about this, but I believe the applet is only partially functional without Nautilus; the service should work, but clicking the applet will probably not open your Ubuntu One directory.
Anyhow, I hope someone finds this useful. Please feel free to comment if you think I have missed anything or if you know of a quicker/better way to achieve the above. ![]()
