Install the UbuntuOne client on GentooLinux

Ubuntu is a cloud storage product launched by Ubuntu. Its clients are integrated with the latest release in the Ubuntu operating system. For a long time, I have used Dropbox as my online storage. However, considering mutual Backup Redundancy and having been using Linux desktop, it seems that using UbuntuOne is also a smooth task. However, it is only after practice that fish drinking water is cool. In general, UBUNTU one has many restrictions on third-party Linux systems, mainly because it is too dependent on gnome.

Ubuntu One is a cloud storage product launched by Ubuntu. Its clients are integrated with the latest release in the Ubuntu operating system. For a long time, I have used Dropbox as my online storage. However, considering mutual Backup Redundancy and having been using Linux desktop, it seems that using Ubuntu One is also a success.
However, after practice, fish drinking water is better than drinking water. In general, Ubuntu One has many restrictions on third-party Linux systems, mainly because it is too dependent on the gnome platform (I encountered many problems in LXDE desktop installation) and is not intuitive to use, synchronization efficiency is very low (just my use experience, maybe my installation is defective, I hope someone can correct it ).

I am using the Gentoo Linux operating system. This software package is not provided in the release version and must be installed using an ebuild provided by a third party. The following is my installation process record, which took a lot of time and effort. Although I finally gave up, I still left a trace.

Install

• Add ebuild

 

1	cd /opt/download

2	git clone git://gitorious.org/gentoo-ubuntu-one/gentoo-ubuntu-one.git

3	cd gentoo-ubuntu-one

4	mv * /usr/local/portage/

• Install
  • Check installation Dependencies

 

1	emerge -pv gnome-extra/ubuntuone-client

• • Install

 

1	emerge gnome-extra/ubuntuone-client

Installation troubleshooting

• The original ebuild installation process is relatively smooth. However, it may be because my desktop environment is LXDE and gnome is not installed, and some dependencies may be missing.ubuntuone-preferencesIf the python module is missing, I have installed the following modules.

 

1	emerge dev-python/httplib2 dev-python/simplejson

• Eventually runningubuntuone-preferencesI am still worried about the problem of synchronization failure,emerge gnome-lightThe gnome basic environment is installed. In this way, settings and synchronization can be performed normally. Ubuntu one seems to be dependent on the gnome environment, and www.linuxidc.com is much inferior to Dropbox.

Easy to use

• Runubuntuone-preferencesIn this case, a firefox browser is opened and a prompt is displayed.Confirm Computer Access

• After you agree to add the local machine, a prompt is displayed for running.gnome-ringAdd a key. (After entering the gnome environment, there are processes in the backgroundgnome-keyring-daemon --start)
• Setubuntuone-preferencesAs follows:

Re-add computer

• If you delete the local machine or reinstall ubuntu one, you need to re-Add the local machine. Re-Add a graphic interface without operations (not found ?), Use the following command

 

1	u1sync --authorize

Run the command line to start ubuntu one client synchronization.

• Check status

 

1	u1sdtool -s

State: READY    connection: Not User Not Network    description: ready to connect    is_connected: False    is_error: False    is_online: False    queues: IDLE

• Start Synchronization Service

 

1	u1sdtool --start

• Because the installation is simplified, you cannot find a widget to log on to ubuntu one. (if there is an applet in ubuntu Linux, you can log on to or connect to ubuntu one .)

 

1	u1sdtool -c

When you log on to the desktopgnome-keyringTo confirm the unlock.

• Refresh synchronization directory display (it may have been synchronized online with ubuntu one, but the icon in nautilus is not refreshed)

 

1	u1sdtool --refresh=/home/huatai/Ubuntu\ One

Combine dropbox and ubuntu one

In~/Ubuntu OneDirectory, there is actually only one soft link

lrwxrwxrwx 1 huatai huatai 42 May 18 10:34 Shared With Me -> /home/huatai/.local/share/ubuntuone/shares

So it can be easily integrated into dropbox
Exit gnome Desktop (this will temporarily terminate dropbox and ubuntu one)

 

1	cd ~/Dropbox

2	ln -s ~/.local/share/ubuntuone/shares ./Shared\ With\ Me

3

cd ~

4	rm -rf Ubuntu\ One

5	ln -s Dropbox Ubuntu\ One
