Comment 12 for bug 498444

Anyone using an alternative connection manager like Wicd instead of NetworkManager? Or does this also happen on a clean Ubuntu installation?

I found that a simple startup script by Patrick Ulbrich (on duplicate thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntuone-client/+bug/450082/comments/53) with content

#!/bin/bash
# wait for active internet connection
while [ "$(ifconfig | grep 192.168)" == "" ]; do
 sleep 5
done
ubuntuone-client-applet

works wonders when called from the startup apps list with "bash ~/.u1waitscript" (for example) :)

I suppose the script by Dustigroove on post #6 above that starts U1 client, kills it and starts it again works too?
