Pairing error from desktopcouch when attempting to run ubuntuone-preferences

[Luke Yelavich]

Binary package hint: desktopcouch

When attempting to run ubuntuone-preferences from a terminal in a fresh and fully up to date install of natty, I get the following error from desktopcouch:

luke@strigy:~$ ubuntuone-preferences
Removing stale, deceptive pid file.
Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax.

ValueError: No pairing record for ubuntuone.

The accounts tab in the ubuntuone preferences window shows unknown for account details, yet I have configured ubuntuone to sign into my account, and I can see entries for desktopcouch and ubuntuone in the "passwords and encryption keys" dialog box, under the passwords tab.

The 'ValueError: No pairing record for ubuntuone' error is bug 657850

This issue can be fixed by running the following command from the terminal while ubuntuone-preferences window is open (all in one line, quotes should be included):

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.ubuntu.sso /credentials com.ubuntu.sso.ApplicationCredentials.login_to_get_credentials "string:Ubuntu One" "string:Workaround for LP:657850" int64:0

thank you,
