UbuntuOne Packages for Fedora

Installing UbuntuOne RPMs on Fedora

UPDATE (2012-11-01): updated and rebuilt for Fedora 18!
UPDATE (2012-06-21): updated and rebuilt for Fedora 17!

Yum Setup

  1. Download and install the .repo file into /etc/yum.repos.d/:
    # wget http://www.maxiberta.com.ar/repo/fedora-ubuntuone.repo
    # mv fedora-ubuntuone.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
  2. Install the ubuntuone-client package and all of its dependencies:
    # yum install ubuntuone-client

UbuntuOne Client Setup

  1. Connect to UbuntuOne services and authenticate:
    $ u1sdtool --connect
  2. A popup window will appear where you can register a new user or use an existing account.
  3. The Gnome Keyring will ask you to enter you passphrase in order to securely store your UbuntuOne credentials

The UbuntuOne Sync Daemon will run automatically every time you log in.

That's all! Your ~/"Ubuntu One" directory is now synchronized with your UbuntuOne cloud storage :-D

UbuntuOne Client Usage

With the u1sdtool command you can:
  • check the status of the UbuntuOne client: 
    $ u1sdtool --status
State: QUEUE_MANAGER
    connection: With User With Network
    description: processing the commands pool
    is_connected: True
    is_error: False
    is_online: True
    queues: IDLE
  • list available shared folders: 
    $ u1sdtool --list-shares
Shares list:
 id=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx name=Shared accepted=True subscribed=False access_level=Modify from=someone
  • subscribe to shared folders: 
    $ u1sdtool --subscribe-share=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Troubleshooting

  • If something goes wrong, try restarting everything: 
    $ u1sdtool --quit
$ ps ax | grep ubuntu # there should be no ubuntu processes running 
$ u1sdtool --start
  • You can also take a look at the logs, located at "~/.cache/sso" and "~/.cache/ubuntuone/log/".
  • Getting the following error while logging in?
    an exception representing an authentication failure
    Check that your date, time and timezone are ok.

Hi there,

thanks for that nice Ubuntu-One Package.
But I can't get it running.

After :
u1sdtool --connect

I got this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/u1sdtool", line 37, in <module>
from ubuntuone.platform.linux.tools import (
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
__import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__)
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

Any Idea?

Hi, thanks for your bug report! I think it's a missing dependency on python-setuptools. Could you please try installing this package? I'll fix it asap if that works :)

Looks like apt-get could not verify the signature of python-setuptools. Did you try with yum install? You can even use yum's --nogpgcheck option, but I would not recommend that.
Please be aware that you are using a rawhide (ie. Fedora 17) repository, but these ubuntuone RPMs are currently built just for Fedora 16.

thanks for that work! ubuntuone-client popup opend succesfully, but can't login in my existing account. "The process did not finish succesfully"

Submitted by maxiberta on Thu, 03/08/2012 - 19:37.

Please check the Troubleshooting section.
Pay attention to the logs. I can take a look at them if you wish.
Are you connected directly to the Internet or through a proxy?
You can also google for this issue in Ubuntu forums as we're now in Ubuntu land...

Thanks for the tip on that bug. I'm currently using ubuntu-sso-client 1.3.3 on several F17s with no problems, though I updated from F16. I should try on a fresh F17 install; maybe some missing dependency.

OTOH ubuntuone 3.0 packages were released recently with 12.04 Precise Pangolin but I've had no time to update the RPMs yet.

My first test on Fedora 17 (fresh install din't work, but it worked after restart.

I am a reformed Ubuntu/Linux Mint user, and I just set this up on my new Fedora 16 installation a few minutes ago. So far, it's working flawlessly. Thanks for porting this functionality to Fedora.

there truelly is a resolution for my issue , posted on 05:36h today,

Submitted by maxiberta on Fri, 06/22/2012 - 14:50.

Just wanted to let you know that I've updated all the packages to their latest stable version, which should fix the auth issues reported lately. Thanks!

Submitted by Andre (not verified) on Sun, 06/24/2012 - 10:55.

Yeees, thanks for your effort. Now it works for me. Though u1sdtool --list-shares tells me there are no share to subscribe to, I picked the IDs from syncdaemon.log and now it works like a charm.

Submitted by Jan (not verified) on Sun, 06/24/2012 - 18:40.

after I typed u1sdtool -c on a fresh F17 it opens a window to set up a new account but there is no option to sign into an existing account.

Submitted by maxiberta on Mon, 06/25/2012 - 16:26.

Please make sure you're running the latest version of ubuntuone-client and ubuntu-sso-client.
You can try to force the login with the following command:

/usr/libexec/ubuntu-sso-client/ubuntu-sso-login-qt --app_name "Ubuntu One" --login_only

This should show the login dialog.

Hi, I'm running Fedora 18 and it outputs this error after install
ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for Unity

please assist

Submitted by maxiberta on Wed, 07/17/2013 - 00:29.

Yes! In fact there's the "stable" .f18 version in the fedora/19 repo, and a newer version in testing/19.

Great package do you think you can port the ubuntuone-client-gnome over also like Arch Linux did?

Hi all,
I'm using Fedora 19. I followed the steps, but when launching u1sdtool I get :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/u1sdtool", line 44, in <module>
bus = dbus.SessionBus(mainloop=loop)

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Any idea ?

Just installed in Fedora20_Xfce-x86_64 and it works as expected.

However I get this error:
ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for Unity
but it works.

How can we make a launcher to launch the GUI to connect when we want and disconnect when we don't?

Thanks a lot for maintaining this repo. Kudos!

As Edrisse, I begun to have this problems couple of upgrades back, on F20:

$ sudo u1sdtool --connect
ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for Unity

Oops, an error ocurred:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken

Any ideas?

Looks like you're running yum on Fedora 6... That's from 2006! Sorry but I'm currently supporting F19 and F20 only.
Cheers!
