Bug Description
syncdaemon keeps crashing and the applet contiually tries to restart it, leading to dozens of error notifications. Most of my syncdaemon log files say "warning, another instance is running" but then sometimes it's also:
2009-08-26 18:11:10,692 - ubuntuone.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
main(sys.argv)
File "/usr/lib/
shares_
File "/usr/lib/
self.vm = volume_
File "/usr/lib/
os.
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists

So, with the latest and greatest, it is now spawning up syncdaemon processes which crash infinitively, until the computer becomes unresponsive and dies a horrible death.
The current workaround is to kill the applet before it kills you.
