Bug Description

I have re-installed my system (from 32 to 64 bit), but re-used my home directory.

I had not copied the Ubuntu One files, because I assumed they would get synchronized/downloaded after reinstalling Ubuntu One.

But this did not happen, I have only the default "Shared With Me" folder, although I can see the files in the web interface.

When trying to "Restore Missing Files.." from the Nautilus folder context menu, I get a window saying:
    == Restore ==
    Restore Failed
    No hostname specified

As a workaround I have stopped the sync daemon and removed any ubuntuone related files from my home dir:
./.local/share/ubuntuone
./.gconf/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/ubuntuone
./.config/ubuntuone
./.cache/ubuntuone

Some of the missing files appeared then, but mostly directories and only one file.

I have tarred the original files, and can provide further information if it is required.

Is there a workaround to fix this?

Should I re-install Ubuntu One completely?
