| devswap | hi all - just looking into the pricing for ubuntuone - dont you think its a little expensive when compared to its competitors | 12:24 |
|---|---|---|
| joshuahoover | devswap: compared to the others that provide a free open source operating system? | 12:42 |
| devswap | joshuahoover: no i was comparing to something like dropbox | 13:23 |
| chaselivingston | devswap: i think that's what joshuahoover meant, we offer much more than just cloud storage and syncing | 13:24 |
| devswap | chaselivingston: such as? | 13:37 |
| chaselivingston | devswap: a free open source operating system, music streaming, etc... | 13:38 |
| devswap | chaselivingston: oh i appreciate that but I was just looking at one offer against another ie the price of dropbox vs the price of ubuntuone | 13:42 |
| jgdx | devswap: that would be comparing apples and oranges :) | 13:44 |
| devswap | jgdx: you talking the extra features of ubuntuone? | 13:45 |
| chaselivingston | devswap: comparing ubuntu one to dropbox | 13:45 |
| jgdx | devswap: ubuntu one is not in the online storage business. Dropbox is. | 13:46 |
| devswap | jgdx: doesnt offering a product put them in the business. Or are you saying that they dont really want the storage business and hence they are making to pay more to keep everything in one place? | 14:02 |
| jgdx | devswap: I was basically quoting this discussion http://askubuntu.com/questions/33761/why-is-ubuntu-one-so-expensive#comment37703_33761 | 14:04 |
| devswap | jgdx: thanks - yes its as I thought - theyare considering that the convenience of having everything linked is worth the extra. However if like me you just need storage and are not using the ubuntu music store then its cheaper elsewhere | 14:08 |
| jgdx | devswap: Once I just needed storage, but now I'm backing up my Ubuntu installation, streaming music and getting 5 gigs for free. :) | 14:12 |
| dobey | there's a reason a car is more expensive than a bicycle. | 14:15 |
| gnomefreak | is ubuntuone-installer important or can i remove it? | 15:31 |
| dobey | gnomefreak: it doesn't exist in 12.10 | 15:52 |
| gnomefreak | dobey: im on 13.04 and it wants to remove it | 15:55 |
| gnomefreak | ive been on 13.04 since repos opened and doing a normal dist-upgrade wants to remove it | 15:56 |
| dobey | gnomefreak: it never existed in 13.04; i don't know how you would have upgraded to 13.04 and not have it removed, unless you chose to keep it around during the upgrade | 15:57 |
| dobey | so yes, it should be removed | 15:57 |
| gnomefreak | ok good thanks | 15:58 |
| SamIAm | I disconnected and purged Ubuntu One from my system, but my files and folders still display check marks or syncing symbols and I get notifications that files are being synced. | 18:48 |
| karni | SamIAm: How did you purge it? | 18:52 |
| karni | SamIAm: u1sdtool --quit | 18:53 |
| SamIAm | sudo apt-get purge ubuntuone. I think that's the package I purged | 18:53 |
| karni | SamIAm: You purged the software, but it was still running in memory | 18:54 |
| karni | SamIAm: you can also log out / in | 18:54 |
| SamIAm | Thanks :) | 18:59 |
