Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client
Fresh karmic install - but I accidentally followed the jaunty instructions online to install ubuntu one. Nothing warned me of the incompatibility or that I supposedly already had ubuntu one. Now I've uninstalled all ubuntu one package and removed the Jaunty repository - and then re-installed the karmic ubuntu one, but it's still broken. I tried to run - look at me typing into this stupid bug box now :/

ZR,
sorry for the bit of confusion. You should be able to run the PPA/Beta version if you wish. However going from the newest version to the older one causes this error. The newer versions of U1 use a different kind of metadata. So you need to repopulate yours with a version compatible with the version you are using.
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
Let it run for a bit and let it repopulate your metadata
Thank you,
