Remove ubuntu one from messaging indicator

Solution 1:

If instead of blacklisting the menu item you completely want to get rid of Ubuntu One, remove the following packages:

sudo apt-get purge ubuntuone-client python-ubuntuone-client python-ubuntuone-storageprotocol

After logging out and in again, Ubuntu One (and the menu item) should be gone.

User a terminal and make the directory

mkdir -p ~/.config/indicators/messages/applications-blacklist/

Files in here should be paths to .desktop files which will be blacklsited on startup. The .desktop files in question are located in

/usr/share/indicators/messages/applications

so you can make symlinks from there to this directory. Thus

ln -s /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/menuItem ~/.config/indicators/messages/applications-blacklist/menuItem

will remove menuItem from the messaging menu. Run

ls /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications

to see what the names of the .desktop files are and look for the one mentioning Ubuntu One.

You can run

killall gnome-panel

to see the changes immediately. Else, a logout should work as well.
