Noticed ubuntuone client cannot connect, browser login works; strange error on stderr

[tmwatson]

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

My ubuntuone client worked initially, I first tested this as a beta on 9.04. Now I am using Karmic 9.10, and switched to "wicd"
instead of "network manager" to connect to wireless networks. I uninstalled the "network manager" package, and its
gnome client. These are only "recommended" dependencies of ubuntu-desktop, which is still installed

These are the versions of client packages:
python-ubuntuone-client (1.0.2-0ubuntu2) ...
ubuntuone-client (1.0.2-0ubuntu2) ...
ubuntuone-client-gnome (1.0.2-0ubuntu2) ...

I tried to see if a reinstall could fix the problem, and ran "ubuntuone-client-applet" by hand. It seems to complain about
the missing "network manager", even though "wicd" replaced it and works beautifully on my machine. I get:

timothy@gemini:~/Documents$ ubuntuone-client-applet
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on org.freedesktop.NetworkManager:/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files

(nautilus:27966): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed

and I still cannot connect. If there is a dependency on "network manager", shouldn't it be explicit? (If this is the problem)

Hi, You're being affected by bug 357395 which we just released a fix for in our beta PPA: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntuone/+archive/beta You can use this version of the client by adding the beta PPA (deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntuone/beta/ubuntu karmic main ) to your package sources and then from a terminal session:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Thank you,

Joshua

Joshua:

Thanks for the update. I installed the update as you described below.
However, it seems that problem is not fixed for me. I've posted some
details in bug 357395.

Any help is much appreciated.
