Bug Description
Hi. Due to lack of space, I decided to move the ~/Ubuntu One folder somewhere on a different partition, where I had more available space. After replacing ~/Ubuntu One with a symbolic link pointing to where I moved it, I restarted Ubuntu One, only to find that it crashes with an IPCError.
"Sorry, an error has occurred and Ubuntu One needs to close."
Reading through other bug reports, I deleted everything related to Ubuntu One, reinstalled it and, after a restart, it worked (it recreated the~/Ubuntu One folder). I did again the symbolic link switch and... I was back at the IPCError message.
Situation: I don't have enough room on my ~/ to store the 5 GB allowed by Ubuntu One. I need to use symbolic links (with Dropbox it works)... but I just get IPCErrors.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 and the latest Ubuntu One available.
