Hello Black!

Thanks a lot for helping us making Ubuntu One better. Can you please confirm you have the proper date/time set in your computer?

Thanks!

Thanks for response Natalia,

As I have a dual boot setup and The Ubuntu sets my clock to UTC so I can confirm right away that my windows time is off by -5 hours than what should be the actual time according to my Timezone. If that causes the problem then here you go.

Otherwise it is very unlikely that my time was off by days, but I am at office now, if you need more info I can provide you when I get home about 4-5 hours from now.

Thanks again.

Hello Black!

If you clock is off for more than 15 minutes, authentication will not work (you can read http://www.adayinthelifeof.nl/2010/12/16/oauth-timestamps-and-nonces/, the paragraph that starts with "But it brings us to another problem...").

Let me know how it went!
Natalia.

Thanks for your kind response, I am sure this will fix it then, but don't you think before this bug is closed a better "verbose" message should be displayed to the user?

[Natalia Bidart (nataliabidart)]

Yes, we should. The master bug that track this is: bug #703507.

I will close this as a dupe. Thanks a lot!
