Ubuntu one won't launch, ubuntuone-preferences crashes "gnomekeyring.BadArgumentsError"

[Julien Negros]

On 10.04.1, rather fresh install (two weeks)
ubuntuone-client 1.2.2-0ubuntu2

Worked first but without changing anything in config files, on morning Ubuntu one won't launch at all, and starting ubuntuone-preferences in terminal output :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubuntuone-preferences", line 1143, in <module>
    prefs_dialog = UbuntuOneDialog()
  File "/usr/bin/ubuntuone-preferences", line 535, in __init__

  File "/usr/bin/ubuntuone-preferences", line 975, in __construct
    self.devices.list_devices()
  File "/usr/bin/ubuntuone-preferences", line 377, in list_devices
    token = get_access_token(self.keyring)
  File "/usr/bin/ubuntuone-preferences", line 124, in get_access_token
    'oauth-consumer-key': 'ubuntuone'})
gnomekeyring.BadArgumentsError

I tried reinstalling, removing config files... The bug occurs everytime. No trace of anything like it in google, hope I'm not the only one...
syncdaemon's log attached.

Julien,
Could you please run the following command in a Terminal and post the results. This will be the version of gnome-keyring on your computer.

apt-cache policy gnome-keyring

thank you,
duanedesign

Here it is. Hope the French is not a problem :)

I have the same problem when try to open

"ubuntuone-preferences" :

[Hector Saint-Prix (tots)]

To recover from this situation, you can erase/move the "by_default" key collection Gwibber creates through the keyring manager of Gnome.
It is found in the ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ directory.
Mine was broken, no way to edit or change password from the seahorse app, and it's still broken afterward once recreated by gwibber; but at least gwibber starts again.
The "Add" button for the twitter registration still is not showing itself after the login from twitter is done successfully. I cannot add a twitter account to the list still.
So Gwibber is back, but still not functional with Twitter.

[Rafael Raposo (rafaelmr2)]

Hector,

It works!! I move the directory ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ to ~/.gnome2/keyrings.old and reboot, and now I can open both Gwibber and UbuntuOne.

Thanks.

On second time I open ubuntuone-preferences the error returns :

Recently I've lost access to Ubuntu One through my Ubuntu 10.04.02. Terminal output looks very much the same as in Julien's case:

ubuntuone-preferences

  File "/usr/bin/ubuntuone-preferences", line 1143, in <module>
    prefs_dialog = UbuntuOneDialog()

  File "/usr/bin/ubuntuone-preferences", line 124, in get_access_token
    'oauth-consumer-key': 'ubuntuone'})
gnomekeyring.BadArgumentsError

Hector's work around seemed to do the trick and ubuntu one preferences windows appeared but unfortunately I didn't manage to synchronize:
