Comment 1 for bug 727370

Hello Jono,

Could you please check whether you have evolution-couchdb package installed.

Additionally there is a simple script to see whether your desktopcouch installation is working:
http://people.canonical.com/~roman.yepishev/us/ubuntuone-desktopcouch-admin.py

Please download it and run as
python ubuntuone-desktopcouch-admin.py -l

It should print something like this:
System databases:
 * _users
 * management
User databases:
 * bookmarks
 220 documents, replication disabled
 * contacts
 47 documents
 * dc_trash
 271 documents
 * notes
 64 documents
 * test
 1 document
 * testdb
 1 document

Do you have contacts database listed there?
