I have been trying to find a way to remove the Ubuntu One entry from the indicators' panel.

I have removed the ubuntuone file from /usr/share/indicators/applications
and edited it out of the seendb.keyfile in ~/cache/indicators/messages/
but it keeps returning.

I just want it gone, as I do not need it at all.
How can I do it? I have Ubuntu Natty amd64.

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.

Now that Ubuntu One is dying, I wanted to remove the Ubuntu One indicator. I realized that the above methods either hide the indicator or remove the application, not the indicator itself.

So to remove the Ubuntu One indicator from the top menu bar:

sudo apt-get remove indicator-ubuntuone
