installing Justcloud

[GusGF]

I've just installed Justcloud which is a cloud service so I can sync a selection of files.

I installed the deb package from their site but when I try and locate in the menus there is no sign of it. How do I know if this is by design and is meant to be run from the command line? (no sign of it in the launcher directory).
There seems to be very little help from their site. Yes I know I can run it from a web browser but I'd rather use the native app.

Use File Manager to look in /usr/share/applications. GUI Applications leave one or more launchers in there; these are what appear in Desktop menus too.

GusGF,

In the terminal

Code: Select all

dpkg -L packagename

will list every file.

No sign of it already looked there.

Did a search in Nemo, doesn't seem to show a GUI program/laucher

You can ''extract-here'' the deb file and look at what's in it, or gdebi will show you the names of files in the package.

GusGF,

Now I'm confused Did you install the package deb file with

Code: Select all

dpkg -i /path/to/debfile

Hi,

installed it a couple of weeks ago and it has an launch icon under Internet applications (at least on Mint 17 Mate) and off course under all.

Hi again,

I also did remeber why I removed, it only offers 15MB for free, where copy offers 15GB and an additional 5GB if you reference them on +Google.
https://www.copy.com/install/
it download a compressed tgz file and you will have to install it (not to difficult)

or you can get it via ppa:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paolorotolo/copy
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install copy

[GusGF]

GusGF,

Now I'm confused Did you install the package deb file with

Code: Select all

dpkg -i /path/to/debfile

Okay all I did was download the Linux deb package from JC and on completion I double clicked on the download and it installed. How else are you supposed to install it?

[WharfRat]

GusGF,

forgive me, I sometimes forget double-clicking

If it's installed then

Code: Select all

dpkg -L justcloud 

or whatever the package name is will list all the files that were installed and their locations.

Also look in /usr/share/applications where all the menu item files reside. Since the date for the file should be very recent, if it did create a menu entry, you can check for it with

Code: Select all

ls -lht --time-style="+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"|less

which will list sorted by modification time the newest being first.

Good luck

[GusGF]

Should I have rebooted after installing?

Okay this is what was installed.....

dpkg -L justcloud

Code: Select all

[WharfRat]

There was nothing added to the menu according to that list. If there was you would have had an entry for /usr/share/applications/ like with pluma

Code: Select all

bill@mint /etc/apt/sources.list.d $ dpkg -L pluma|grep desk
/usr/share/applications/pluma.desktop

The only thing I can suggest is

Code: Select all

man justcloud

Everything you need to know should be explained there.

Good luck

UPDATE: OOPS there is one entry /opt/_--_BRAND_--_/usr/share/applications/_--_BRAND_--_.desktop so check the file in /usr/share/applications/ and cat it to check the contents:

The Categories= field will show where on the menu it resides and the Exec= field is the name of the executable file.

It looks like it's also integrated into the file manager.

In addition it's autostarted from this line: /opt/_--_BRAND_--_/etc/xdg/autostart so check /etc/xdg/autostart directory too.

[GusGF]

so check the file in /usr/share/applications/ and cat it to check the contents:

Couldn't find the file in the applications directory so have used

Code: Select all

 ~ $ sudo dpkg -P justcloud
[sudo] password for xxxxxx: 
(Reading database ... 152183 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing justcloud ...
dpkg: warning: while removing justcloud, directory '/opt/_--_BRAND_--_/config' not empty so not removed
Processing triggers for man-db ...

Then forcibly removed above directory. Will try a reinstall and see how it goes.

Gratitude for sticking with me I'm finally messing about on the CLI and using commands like dpkg.

[GusGF]

Yep a reinstall did the trick and I noticed when downloading the 64-bit version the 32-bit also downloaded at the same time, weird??

I wonder if I accidentally installed the 32-bit version by mistake last time hmmm!

Because I signed up to Hostgator I got 1GB of free storage with JustCloud. Will be interesting to see what happens now as I've decided to go with digital ocean instead and my monthly hostgator subscription ends soon

[GusGF]

Just wanted to add that using Justcloud was Just too painful to use so am now using Dropbox which are offering 2.5GB. Interface is miles better and easier to work with and the installation was a dream

[clippittee]

By the way, is a new interface being considered sometime in the future?
