Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

Applet on Gnome Panel displays as disconnected with an exclamation mark inside a cloud, will not connect when clicked. Applet starts on boot with the default settings. This was working last week, and when I first installed Karmic I was about to add my computer and sync a few files. Restarting Ubuntuone temporarily gives me a black cloud and the message that it is syncing my files, but then it returns to disconnected state.

I'm sorry to hear Ubuntu One isn't working properly for you. Fortunately, I think there is a workaround for this problem as I believe it's related to bug 455544 which occurs when the bandwidth preferences are set too low (or to the defaults). If you delete ~/.config/ubuntuone/syncdaemon.conf and restart the Ubuntu One client, you should be able to connect. Thank you, Joshua
