[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu One is dead, long live U1!
Hopefully someone can assist. As I'm sure some of you know, the Ubuntu One file storage service has been retired. However it is bugging me with messages attempting to upload files to the server every 30 seconds or so. I can't find an entry for it in the software centre at all. I have found a process running called ubuntuone-syncdaemon but running sudo apt-get remove ubuntuone-syncdaemon results in the output E: Unable to locate package ubuntuone-syncdaemon. Any ideas? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu One and Software Centre
I've just been clearing out my Ubuntu One data, not much to do as it only ever worked from my phone (until yesterday ironically) so I stopped using it pending getting time to fix it. I still wanted to check what was there before it was deleted though, and looking at the list of devices I notice that I had the Ubuntu Software Centre listed for a couple of machine. I've not used it in a while, but wondered whether the facility to share information about installed packages between machines was going with Ubuntu One, or whether that facility would still be available. Anyone know? As an aside, that is largely irrelevant now, I noticed that that last login information is completely inaccurate. Mine has the last web login as the 9th April, when I logged in yesterday; the Software Centre on this machine claims to have last sync'd today, but Ubuntu One claims it was last used on 10th Nov 2011; and FileExpert on my phone is listed as 27th Jan when, again, I used it yesterday. Perhaps this feature no longer works, or already stores data elsewhere. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 = Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Ralls House, Parklands Business Park, Forrest Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6XP -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

You don't have to give any payment details for UbuntuOne or Software Centre as both are initially free to use and the TCs reflect that. As for payment handling, there are plenty of client side implementations that are open source but the server side APIs generally aren't, and it does lead to the eternal question of how 'pure' open source can be and the answer is almost always up to the point where it has to interface with systems that don't share the philosophy, and financial systems are, for legal reasons as well as for security, inevitably closed. s/ -- Twitter: @sfgreenwood TBA are particularly glib -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] ubuntu one
Hi there Back from holiday and I got a really annoying problem. On return, I updated 12.04 that I have dual-booting with 12.10 testing. I also installed a video driver that was offered - and wrecked the whole thing! After re-booting, I got a failure and dropped to the command prompt. startx failed as it couldn't find a valid screen (whatever that means). I gave up trying to mend it and re-installed then re-updated. Now, I had no problem with Ubuntu-one under 12.04 before, and have no problem on my netbook - also on 12.04. Setting up Ubuntu-one went as normal and synced the Ubuntu-one folder, but offers me no other folders to sync from the cloud. I can't find any way of making it work. Putting up a fresh folder on my netbook immediately shows a popup on my desktop telling me that the new folder is available for sync - but it dowsn't show in the Ubuntu-one window! The I had to re-install 12.10 for a fairly similar reason has to do with a newer AMD accelerated graphics driver. I'm now getting exactly the same problem with Ubuntu-one. Anyone got any ideas?

I also went to spideroak as soon as dropbox showed incompetence re security It's worth noting that it's fairly trivial encrypting files that can be saved to Dropbox or Ubuntu One using GnuPG I am using Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS and I stumbled into a gotcha with a side effect of encryption and Ubuntu one. To encrypt a bunch of files, say, my complete thunderbird folder, totalling 4GB :-) I used GNU Privacy Assistant, after zipping into an archive to create a single file. (Which also did not obviously shout out 'thunderbird' as a set of smaller files all encrypted might do). The final item was just over 2GB in size and it happily started upsyncing to my U1 (paid) account. It worked once, but similar files later appeared to fail. My up speed is just over 1Mbps so it takes a number of hours to upload such files. I struggled with this for some weeks and then I happened to notice that the detail that the partial upload was often resetting to zero. Most frustrating. Some close reading of the U1 FAQ said that (this) did not happen for internet disconnection, for the 'latest version'. Infering that it DID happen for others, including mine. I checked my internet connectivity and to my surprise found that it was often resetting, but with so little delay I would not have noticed it with say firefox or thunderbird or Transmission torrent. I would hardly have noticed it either in U1, if my target files were smaller, say to typically upsync in less than 30 minutes each. My archiving (and then encrypting) always created large files and upsync times of hours. I tested with Ubuntu 11.04 and U1 held the interrupted data ok, an ddid not start again. It was a relief to find out what was happening. This 'problem' is relevant for large files, and relatively slow upsync speeds, and flakey isp connections. Apart from that it is ok.. And I have offered a suggested append to the FAQ. -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Are you near Manchester? And a developer? Then we'd love to see you on September 1st to talk about web apps and mobile apps and desktop apps and Ubuntu One. You get to see me talk about a bunch of APIs we provide to make apps cooler, and then there will be a beer or three afterwards; Manchester's got a pretty vibrant dev community, along with the surrounding areas, so come and have a drink with us and talk about building your latest Ubuntu app or mobile app or web app or all three, or what you're into. If you want your applications to easily share data between Ubuntu and mobile and web, or you want to use Ubuntu single-sign-on in your web apps, come talk to us :) Please sign up at eventbrite (http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1981804631) so we don't overrun the theatre we've got! September 1st, 7pm, Lecture Theatre C014 at Manchester Metropolitan University.

[ubuntu-uk] ubuntu one
Anyone got an invite and tried this out yet? https://ubuntuone.com/ (Something I've been wanting for a while, a 'dotMac' equivalent, and I hope there will be more features added to it.)

It looks a lot like Dropbox (http://www.getdropbox.com/) but specifically for Ubuntu machines. On Wed, May 13, 2009 at 1:53 PM, John jake...@sky.com wrote: I am waiting too.

It would also appear that the paid for version will cost more for less space than dropbox. It will be interesting if the additional ubuntu specific features will make up for this.

John Hi John, Yes, tried it - and in the upcoming Ubuntu UK Podcast [0] (hopefully out tonight), we have a segment regarding it (with an interview). There may also be a competition to claim from a bunch of invites. Watch that space!

Apparently those already on can pass invites on to others that will jump the queue, so if you know someone that is already using it you can ask them. (To invite someone this way then offer to share something with them) You should still listen to the podcast though. I suspect that there will a few juicy details in there.

I have, my laptop tends to stay at home where it's in wifi distance of my home server, so it hasn't saw much use. Interesting that Canonical are creating more proprietary software, after announcing an intent to open source more of launchpad last year.
