  • 772

I use Ubuntu One together with the indicator for the panel on two differnt laptops (installed the same way). On one laptop Ubuntu One connection is started automatically after login where on the other it isn't.

How can I get the behaviour of Ubuntu One not being connected automatically after login?

    I solved the problem myself. I had to create an ubuntuone-launch.desktop file in /home/username/.config/autostart with the following text in it.

    [Desktop Entry]
Name=Ubuntu One
Exec=/bin/sh -c '[ -d "$HOME/Ubuntu One" ] && ubuntuone-launch'
Type=Application
X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=30
Icon=ubuntuone
Comment=
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=ubuntuone-client
Hidden=true
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false
Name[de]=ubuntuone-launch.desktop

    That prevents UbuntuOne from automatically establishing a connection after login. (Checked by removing the .desktop file)

  2. On the top right menu where you can shut down your computer, you'll find Startup Applications. This is where you can uncheck Ubuntu One to start after login.

  3. I am not really sure I understand what you are trying to do.

    There is no way, from the UI, to disable autoconnection. There is a way to do that by editing a config file.

    It's probably easier not to start Ubuntu One.
