How can I stop ubuntuone-syncd?
I need to stop ubuntuone-syncd but I don't know where to find the service that I need to stop.
Ubuntu One comes with the commandline tool u1sdtool
to control it.
Basically the gui control panel cannot quit the syncdaemon but can connect/disconnect it.
If you need to control syncdaemon start/stop it
you have u1sdtool --start
and u1sdtool --quit
If you need to connect/disconnect it
you have u1sdtool --connect
and u1sdtool --disconnect
commands
See u1sdtool --help
for all the available commands.
You can do connect/disconnect through control panel gui as well.
There is a indicator for ubuntuone as well: What Application Indicators are available?
If you need to disable ubuntuone from autostarting at login
Syncdaemon is autostart service. So if you just need to disable the autostart part when you login to your session. Go to /etc/xdg/autostart
and do
sudo sed --in-place 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' ubuntuone-launch.desktop
and disable it from startup-applications
Not sure if this works, but you can stop (and start) the client by using the commandos
u1sdtool --quit
u1sdtool --start
