Hi, I'm sorry to hear Ubuntu One isn't working properly for you. Can you tell me which web browser you're using (Firefox, Chromium, Opera, etc.) and if this happens every time you try to open Applications->Internet->Ubuntu One and are prompted to add your computer? Thank you, Joshua

[mc-laptop (mc-artfacts)]

Dear Joshua,

thanks for writing to me. Mostly I am using Epiphany but also Firefox.

I can not connect from the Ubuntu One app. and not from the folder
button.

Dropbox works without problem.

Best regards

Marek

I'm having the same problem using Epiphany and Abrowser. I'm changing the status to confirmed.

Hi Goyo, mc-laptop,

Are you behind a proxy server?

Thanks

[Goyo (goyodiaz)]

I'm not behind a proxy.

I could fix this by following an advice I read somewhere. I purged ubuntune-client and ubuntuone-client-gnome and deleted all ubuntuone files and folders I found in my home directory (this included hidden files and folders and ~/Ubuntu One), reboot and installed ubuntuone-client-gnome again --I tried before just deleting files and folders but it didn't work.

After that, the first time I opened ubuntuone my browser showed something like "An error has occurred in Lainchpad, we'll try to fix it" (sorry I didn't make a copy of the message).

Then I closed ubuntuone and opened it for a second time and the browser showed my name and an invitation to sign in. But after pressing the sign in button the error message appeared again.

The third time, after pressing the sign in button the "Add this computer to Ubuntu One" page appeared and this time I could do it whithout trouble.

I didn't tested the service yet but at least I could add my computer and I can connect and disconnect so this is fixed for me and I hope this can help others, buy I can't figure out what went wrong.

Dear Goyo,

it's still a mess. After logging in it just won't connect:

Unable to load page

I've installed Dropbox now. That's much better.

Thanks anyway.

To all who have problems with the browser not completing the "add your computer" process (problem loading the localhost error), are you using Firefox or a different browser? Can you test the process using Firefox if you're not using Firefox? You can do this by temporarily changing your preferred browser:

1. Open System->Preferences->Preferred Applications
2. Select "Firefox" from the Web Browser pull down menu
3. Click the "Close" button
4. Open Applications->Internet->Ubuntu One

Thanks!

Joshua, this does not look like a browser issue to me. I tried Abrowser and it failed. Unfortunately I can't test anymore since this was fixed for me after deleting some files (see comment #6) but I was using Epiphany the first time it worked and I think Abrowser is almost identical to Firefox --they both depend on firefox-3.5.

[Sergey (gluk-02)]

I've got the same problem.
I could solve it by simply killing 'ubuntuone-login' process. Then I just ran 'ubuntuone-preferences' again and clicked 'Support options'.
This worked for me. I hope this will help others.

[gl0w (rizenb)]

I can confirm that killing the process resolved the issue for me on Ubuntu 10.04.

[Craig Russell (craig-craig-russell)]

Killing the process did not resolve the issue for me. Fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04
