Hi Roberto,

I'm sorry to hear Ubuntu One is not working properly for you. This appears to be related to NetworkManager. We're trying to collect additional information about these NetworkManager related errors. Can you run the following command in a terminal session and report back the output in a comment here?

wget -q http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34282008/nm-checker && chmod 755 nm-checker && ./nm-checker

This downloads a small python script (that collects information about the state of NetworkManager on your computer), sets it to executable, and runs the script. If you want to check the script first, please open the URL in your browser first before running the command. :-)

Thank you,

Joshua

May the reason is that i use WICD instead of GnomeNetworkManager.

Im' really sorry, but i'm not going to change my network manager for "That Thing" that comes w/ Ubuntu.

Hi Roberto,

We think we have a fix so that NetworkManager is no longer required. We're currently testing this and hope to have an update in our PPA for this out soon.

Thank you,

Joshua
