Impossible to determine (un)easily connection datas

[Yves Meunier]

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

I cannot access to login data of Ubuntu One, so I cannot neither check these data neither change them. It is impossible to said with which login UbuntuOne tries to connect.

I did not found any text file containing theses, I deleted keys in the keys manager, I completely unsintalled (with configuration files) then reinstall the program. None of these measures worked.

I think that having the ability to know a bit more about connections data and/or change them when the connection fail would make the UbuntuOne interesting concept more effective. We could also imagine to restart the first run tutorial -series of slide presenting the possibles options of connection- as a effective solution.

I have found the way to change the connection preferences that UbuntuOne client use in order to connect to UbuntuOne server :

1. Application -> Accessories -> passwords and keys management (?)

Delete the keys "UbuntuOne token for http://ubuntuone.com" and both "Desktop Couch user authentication". The current connection data is deleted.

2. reconnect Ubuntu One client to UbuntuOne server.

You are now connected again and can share files.

I am not quite sure this is going to be found by all users... A "Replace current connection parameters" procedure could be fine.

Hi Yves, thank you for filing this report. The way you described is in fact the easiest way to resolve this for now: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Bugs#Connection%20problems
