How do I disable Ubuntu One?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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:

Answer 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 .

Answer 3

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.
