ubuntuone-client-applet fails to start

[Jonathan Riddell]

I installed ubuntuone-client and started it from the k-menu, it broke.

>ubuntuone-client-applet --signup
Traceback (most recent call last):

Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04.

We're going to have some interesting scenarios with *ubuntu. Reassign as needed.

Hi Jon. Is the dbus session bus not started by KDE, or failed to run for some reason? I wonder why this happened. Does it still fail with the latest version?

[Stefan Skotte (screemo)]

I too have the same error, with all latest updates (kubuntu jaunty)

[Rasaks (asas)]

The package »ubuntuone-client" could not be found.

[Clay Weber (claydoh)]

I am getting this same error as well

Kubuntu 9.04

[Arthur Schiwon (blizzz)]

Rasty: did you add the PPA and run apt-get update?

Same problem on Ubuntu 9.04 updated; client-applet doesn't start

$ ubuntuone-client-applet --signup

I doesn't have NetworkManager installed. I use wicd instead, could it be related?

This is a separate problem. We require NetworkManager's DBus interface
to know when the computer is on-line or not. We may support not using
NetworkManager in the future, but for now we only really support the
default setup, which is to use NetworkManager. I believe there may be
another bug about not working with NetworkManager, but I don't recall
the # for it off hand. You are welcome to subscribe to that bug, or file
another of your own, for this issue. Thanks for the feedback.

The same error for me, and wicd instead nm installed...

This is a separate issue: #357395

Ok, copy.
Thank you very much Rodney for you clarification.
Greetings.

I applied the patch from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dobey/ubuntuone-client/kde-dbus-fail/revision/8 to the current ubuntuone-client (0.90.0-0+r1370-0~9.04) and produced this output:

After relogin, I get this error:
ubuntuone-client-applet --signup

After waiting a while, I can start it by trying it several times.

[ovoid (mail-cosmin)]

Ubuntu-gnome: ubuntuone start, but do his own job, whatever that is. No icon, no windows, no stdout message.
I think it will be useful to interact with me in some way!

[Valorie Zimmerman (valorie-zimmerman)]

I wish I had some output to add to the information, but neither in in Kubuntu Maverick nor in Natty am I able to get ubuntuone to start. Although it is installed, it will not run from the K menu, krunner, nor Konsole.

I searched for a widget, but there was not one available. I need my Ubuntuone to sync up my Tomboy Notes between my laptop, netbook, and Tomdroid on my phone.

Although I never got the KDE client to work in Lucid, at least ubuntuone ran. Is there any hope?

[themroc (rauchweihe)]

"... Although it is installed, it will not run from the K menu, krunner, nor Konsole."

Yes the program from k menu has no effect in natty (in maverick it works for me), but ubuntuone-sync himself is running and working correct in natty and maverick on kubuntu.

But in natty on Kubuntu, you get a popup again, if something is change in the sync folder.
