ubuntuone applet crashes when clicking on it, syncdaemon not started

[ONispel]

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

When I try to start the syncdaemon manually, I get the following errors:

:~$ /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon

ONispel,
Sorry to hear you are having problems with Ubuntu One. Looking at your logs it looks like you have a newer version of metadata on your computer. Did you install the trunk version of Ubuntu One then go back to the stable version in the repository?

To fix this you need to repopulate your metadata with the version currently in use by your version of Ubuntu One. If you have anything of great importance in your Ubuntu One folder you you might want to back it up before proceeding (never can be too safe)

1. Quit the Ubuntu One client. From the applet select Quit. Then open a Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and run the following to quit the syncdaemon.

u1sdtool -q

2. Delete the old metadata. In a Terminal run.

rm -rf ~/.local/share/ubuntuone

3. Start Ubuntu One as you normally would Applications > Internet > Ubuntu One

It'll run for a bit as it recreates the metadata.
