tomboy sync with ubuntuone fails without any detail information

[Oehm]

Binary package hint: tomboy

trying to manually sync tomboy notes (with ubuntuone) i get an error message saying that the sync failed and asking me to check the 'details below' and try again. there are no details given below (just an empty list of notes).

the sync seemed to fail during the first step "acquiring a sync lock" (my translation from german).

i would expect a failure message saying something like: "there is an error on the server-side" or "check your login credentials".

Same here with 11.04.

funny enough ran tomboy on terminal and then did the sync with no problem. I restarted through the unity gui and it now syncs no problem. Wierd.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I got the same error on Ubuntu 11.10 with Tomboy version 1.8.0, a dialog said that note sync failed but the "details" box was empty. Quitting tomboy and starting it from command line, after trying to sync notes I saw:

[ERROR 15:10:43.880] Synchronization failed with the following exception: A note with this title already exists: Oggi: mercoledì 22 agosto 2012

So deleting the named note (after copying its content somewhere else) solved the problem, but this messag should be in the dialog box.
