Ubuntuone-client doesn't sync files

[PeterPall]

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

Loads of symptoms:

ubuntuone.control-panel-gtk:
1.) Does login to ubuntuone and can read the contract type but gets a "file sync error"
2,) The devices-tab clains that the data cannot be read
3.) The cloud folders list is empty

4.) Nautilus doesn' thave a "synchronize with ubuntuone" context menu entry

5.) The "add files" and "add folders" buttons on the ubuntuone homepage are dead.

The solutions I have found in other bug reports didn't work.
Trying to remove the authentification data from the keyring, deletion of my devicefrom the devices list from he ubuntuone webpage.

Afterwards the ubuntuone support (cool thing: the guys reply fast to mails!) Did do that before and after today's update:

gunter@book:~/tex$ u1sdtool -q
ubuntuone-syncdaemon stopped.
gunter@book:~/tex$ rm -rf ~/.config/ubuntuone/
gunter@book:~/tex$ u1sdtool -c

Oops, an error ocurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
Failure: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon exited with status 1

Starting syndaemon manually gave the same error, too:
gunter@book:~/tex$ /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon", line 187, in <module>
    main(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon", line 80, in main
    logger.configure_logging(options.logging_level,
AttributeError: Values instance has no attribute 'logging_level'

Then decided that python cannot be too complicated and did replace line 80+ of /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon that read

        logger.configure_logging(options.logging_level,
                                 options.logging_file_size,
                                 options.logging_backup_count)
with:
        logger.configure_logging(1,
                                 10000,
                                 2)

Replacing only any two of these variables made python complain that the other two don't exist.

30 seconds after /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon was started manually again I was informed that the sync was complete and everything including the nautilus integration started to work.

HI Peter,

this bug is a duplicate of bug #721638. Seems like you have a missing file that should have been installed when installing the package.

Can you please try to purge and re-install the package? You need to have this file: /etc/xdg/ubuntuone/syncdaemon.conf in your system.

Thanks!

Purging and re-installing the package fixed the problem. Thanks!
