My OperaUbuntu One - command line stuff
Friday, August 5, 2011 2:24:07 PM
Ubuntu One is a great 'cloud tool' and has been recently upgraded from 2GB to 5GB free space. I recently had an issue with it taking up too much CPU time and not knowing the status of my file uploads and downloads. I then found a useful utility call 'u1sdtool' (that is u1 as in number 1 as opposed to l, the letter l) which helped sort out what was what. U1sdtool is from package 'ubuntuone-client' (main).
Typing u1sdtool --help gives the following;
u1sdtool --help
Usage: u1sdtool [option]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-w, --wait Wait until ubuntuone-syncdaemon reaches nirvana
--accept-share=SHARE_ID
Accept the share with the specified id
--reject-share=SHARE_ID
Reject the share with the specified id
--list-shares Get the list of shares
--subscribe-share=SHARE_ID
Subscribe to a share specified by id
--unsubscribe-share=SHARE_ID
Unsubscribe from a share specified by id
--refresh-shares Request a refresh of the list of shares to the server
--offer-share=PATH USER SHARE_NAME ACCESS_LEVEL
Share PATH to USER.
--list-shared List the shared path's/shares offered.
--create-folder=PATH Create user defined folder in the specified path
--delete-folder=FOLDER_ID

Further to this I found an indicator applet utility which does much the same thing. To install it open a Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and enter the following lines: -
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rye/ubuntuone-extras
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-indicator
Alternatively add the ‘ppa:rye/ubuntuone-extras’ to ‘Other Software’ in ‘Software Sources’ accessible via the ‘edit’ menu in the Ubuntu Software Centre. Run an update and search for ‘ubuntuone-indicator’.
