Bug Description

I upgraded my Ubuntu 9.04, with UbuntuOne installed, in 9.10.
Each time i try to connect my client to the server I get a warning "Incompatible characteristics with the server"
Strange, but I installed a fresh Ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 on an eeePc G4 and it connects perfectly, without any warning, and does correctly the file updates on the netbook.

Where is the error?
If it's needed, i can complete the report with an "apport" report from the netbook.

ubuntuone-client version is 1.1 r261 on the desktop and 1.02 on the netbook.

Why this difference between the netbook remix 9.04 and the desktop version 9.04?

I don't agree with your answer.

In fact this is NOT an Ubuntu One error, but a packaging error:
-Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix comes with UbuntuOne client version 1.0
-Ubuntu 9.04 desktop comes with UbuntuOne 1.1

Anyway, the 1.1 version DOES NOT connect to the cloud ("Capabilities
Mismatch" error). It seems that (as stated in bug 462828 )

does not work correctly : the newest client does not connect but the
older does.

rtagger> joshuahoover, I guess anybody installed ubuntuone into jaunty during release process of karmic will face such issues. I don't think there will be many :)
