How do I disable Ubuntu One?

  • 772

I do not use Ubuntu One but that Ubuntu One ribbon keeps appearing when I open some folders. As I don't use Ubuntu One and don't intend to use it in near future, is there a way that Ubuntu One support completely goes away from my laptop? Something like apt-get remove u1-support so I no longer see that ribbon nor the preferences menu entry?

ubuntu-one

    You can uninstall the packages, yes. Ubuntu One involves two bits running on your computer: the Ubuntu One file sync client or syncdaemon, and desktopcouch backed by a CouchDB that replicates with the Ubuntu One CouchDB. If yo want to completely remove both, a quick way of doing that would be

    sudo apt-get --purge remove .*ubuntuone.* .*couch.*

    If all you want to do is disable the file synchronization daemon, however, you can simply disable the service in ubuntuone-preferences, from the Services tab:

    Ubuntu One Preferences' Service tab

  2. You should go to Software center or Synaptic and uninstall the ubuntuone-client pakage if you want to remove all of ubuntu one(including gnome integration).

    if you want to remove just the ubuntuone gnome integration(right click menus,applets etc) then just remove ubuntuone-client-gnome .

  3. You should try : 

    rm –rf ~/.local/share/ubuntuone
rm –rf ~/.cache/ubuntuone
rm –rf ~/.config/ubuntuone
rm –rf ~/Ubuntu\ One
sudo apt-get purge ubuntuone-client* python-ubuntuone-storage*

    It should remove dependencies and the ribbon (hopefully) with the config files been removed.
