I’ve written a post on how to get Ubuntu One client for Linux Mint 12 a year ago and I think it’s time for me to update the details. This time, I would like to show you how to get Ubuntu One client on Linux Mint 14.
First, assume you know how to open a terminal, open a terminal and type the following line to install Ubuntu One
sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-control-panel-qt
After the installation finish, you will find the Ubuntu One launcher under “Settings” if you’re using KDE but you will never find the launcher if you’re using Cinnamon. Here’s a little tweak on how to get it.
In terminal, type
sudo nano /usr/share/applications/ubuntuone-installer.desktop
Find the line of
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Settings;DesktopSettings;X-GNOME-Settings-Panel;X-GNOME-PersonalSettings
and append “;Network” at the end of that line, the line below shows the result
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Settings;DesktopSettings;X-GNOME-Settings-Panel;X-GNOME-PersonalSettings;Network
Save the file (by pressing ctrl-o, then enter, then ctrl-x to exit the nano text editor). The Ubuntu One launcher should be available in your cinnamon menu. Have fun 
I have just switched after many years on Ubuntu to Mint mainly because of the direction in which Canonical appear to be heading.
However, I find it harder to get answers to problems with Mint.
Your instructions about Ubuntu One are very gratefully received!
Thank you! Helpful little tip, especially about Cinnamon.
Thanks for posting this. I’m new to linux in general and was having a bit of a problem getting this to work in Cinnamon. Followed your instructions and I’m up and running!
Great article,
Many Thanks,
Many thanks, I’m relatively new to Linux so this was for me an obscure tweak but very helpful!
thanks so much for your help.
