UbuntuOne Indicator Applet

The Ubuntu One Indicator Applet which we told you about a few days ago now has a PPA so it's easier to install and stay up to date with new releases.

Along with the PPA, a new version (0.3) has been released which brings some fixes as well as initial Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx support (until now it only worked for Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat).

To add the PPA and install UbuntuOne Indicator, use the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rye/ubuntuone-extras
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-indicator

Once installed, you'll have to run it manually. Press ALT + F2 and enter:
/usr/bin/ubuntuone-indicator

To get the source code and report bugs, see the Ubuntu One Indicator project page @ Launchpad.
