Has anyone had success with jungledisk 3.16 on ubuntu 11.10?

I installed it from the .deb file provided by jungledisk. The install goes fine, but I can't get the "jungle disk desktop" app to launch.

It appears in the dash search bar, but doesn't launch or do anything upon selecting it.

When I try the command line, I get the following...

me@myComputer:~$ jungledisk -V -f
Verbose mode enabled
Shutting down...
me@myComputer:~$

I get something more interesting with the following command ... something about libnotify.so

me@myComputer:~$ junglediskdesktop -V -f
junglediskdesktop: error while loading shared libraries: libnotify.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What's the deal here? Anybody else experience this? Does anyone have suggestions for what to try? I opened up a help-ticket with jungledisk,[edit >>> they resolved the issue completely (see my answer below)]

The helpticket folks at jungledisk/rackspace resolved this problem. It appears that jungledisk was expecing libnotify.so.1 and ubuntu had libnotify.so.4.

Creating a symlink pointing to libnotify.so.4 resolves the problem...

The new Ubuntu is missing libnotify.so.1 needed by jungle disk. This is resolved by creating a symlink to libnotify.so.4 to libnotify.so.1. Please [enter the commands] below and restart the machine:

cd /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ ; sudo ln -s ./libnotify.so.4 libnotify.so.1

FYI... I had the same problem in an install of 32bit xubuntu. The above fixed it also. – Angelo Jan 9 at 15:07
64-bit users check Kailash's solution instead. – kobejohn Mar 11 at 10:44

Please be advised that the selected answer did not work for me and the solution from here : http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=87662&p=510737 did work.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnotify.so.4 /usr/lib/libnotify.so.1

Thanks! They're actually very similar. The idea is to create a symbolic link so that libnotify.so.1 points to the libnotify.so.4. There are differences because you're apparently using 64 bit and I am using 32 bit. I had originally indicated 32bit in my title, but it was edited out. – Angelo Dec 13 '11 at 20:23

I can confirm that I indeed use 64 bit. – Kailash Jan 2 at 18:29
Thanks to both of you for the 64 bit solution. – kobejohn Mar 11 at 10:44

Had the same problem. End up using the free Linux tools from SMEStorage:

Thanks, I will consider using that. But before I do, I have a bunch of data on s3 via jungledisk to migrate! – Angelo Dec 1 '11 at 14:45
