Ubuntu-one fresh install: AttributeError "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'stop'"

[Mike]

Not a great first-time installation experience. Went through the wizard and couldn't finish it because of this error. No idea what caused it or what it means. I trust applicable system info is automatically appended...

Oops - probably should included the error in something other than the subject:
 AttributeError
 "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'stop'"

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

After not using ubuntu one for almost a year, because of problems back then, I though I would give it another shot.

Too bad I encounter this exact error almost 5 months after this initial bug report.

Tried this on a fully up to dat precise install and get the error as described by the initial reporter.

I also still get this error on 12.04 fully up to date.

This was reported nearly a year ago...

Just going to use dropbox

I had the same problem! Then I just started the launchpad in the terminal with:
ubuntuone-control-panel-qt
and it works just fine till now.
I know it does not solve the bug itself, but this is the first forum post you'll find googling the bug, so I think it will be nice to find a way to avoid it.
