Bug Description

I don't think I have been using Ubuntu One on this 12.04 PC.

I wanted to start doing so.

Launching the control panel gives the message "Sorry, an error has occurred and Ubuntu One needs to close." Clicking on "Show Details" gives "IPCError" and no more details.

See the attached screenshot.

After clicking on some other tabs in the Ubuntu One interface the problem has gone away.

Simply closing and reopening the Ubutu One Control Panel did not help.

In windows, I've got the same problem, and i fixed it just copying the folders C:\ProgramData\ubuntuone and C:\ProgramData\ubuntuone-storageprotocol to C:\Users\[Your-user]\AppData\Local.
