Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

when I left click on the ubuntu one cloud on my task bar, it crashes instantly, and files an error report. I have tried purging ubuntuone-clent, resetting my password, and removing the problematic machine from my ubuntu one account, None of these solutions work.

Dave,
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. After awhile copy in a small file to see if it syncs. If this is unsuccessful please come back here and change the 'Status' of this bug back to 'New' and attach the following logs to this bug: ~/.cache/ubuntuone/log/syncdaemon.log & ~/.cache/ubuntuone/log/syncdaemon-exceptions.log

thank you,
