Installing Ubuntu One on Kubuntu 9.10

Canonical's version of Dropbox is called Ubuntu one. Although it is installed by default with Ubuntu 9.10, it is sadly missing from Kubuntu 9.10.



Issue the following commands inside a terminal:
echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/apachelogger/ubuntuone-kde/ubuntu karmic main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/apachelogger/ubuntuone-kde/ubuntu karmic main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4427DF3B

Open KPackageKit and install the client: "ubuntuone-client-kde"



There should be a Ubuntu One icon in the start menu, under Applications, Internet. Click on the Ubuntu Icon.

To use: simply move files to the Ubuntu One folder that lives under your home folder.
