Hi nikkon,

Looks like the "~/Ubuntu One/Shared with Me" symlink is broken and the client is trying to create it.

Could you confirm this?

please paste the output of: ls -la "~/Ubuntu One/Shared With Me"

Thanks

Hi, Guillermo Gonzalez.

The output of the command (ls -la "~/Ubuntu One/Shared With Me") is: "No such file or directory".
Thanks a lot, I get it.

[Nick Kondratiev (nickkon)]

Why the solution is so simply and stupid? It's not a Linux way. =)
All what I did - remove symbolic links and re-run client .
All works perfectly. Thanks a lot. Sorry for disturbing.

I'm affected by the same problem (and same error), but I didn't get the solution... can you explain please?

to /dev/random:

-"paste the output of: ls -la "~/Ubuntu One/Shared With Me";
-remove broken symbolic links and re-run client .

[/dev/random (todevrandom)]

elijah@seldon:~$ ls -la "~/Ubuntu One/Shared With Me"
ls: impossibile accedere a ~/Ubuntu One/Shared With Me: Nessun file o directory

That is the italian for: "No such file or directory".

[Nick Kondratiev (nickkon)]

to /dev/random:

$ cd "Ubuntu One"
$ rm "Shared With Me"

Then re-run Ubuntu One client.

[/dev/random (todevrandom)]

ok, now the link is ok. So the daemon does not crash... but it doesn't sync my local folder with the remote one... there's something more to investigate.
Thanks for your help
