ubuntuone-installer crashed with GError in function(): Failed to execute child process "ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk" (No such file or directory)

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

Setting it to High because of the quantity of users affected.

I can confirm that this affects me on the 12.04 Alpha1. Also, there may be a duplicate bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntuone-installer/+bug/876903 but I'm not entirely sure.

   Thank you very much, I will follow up. I am glad some body heard my yell

----- End message from <email address hidden> -----

I was fairly surprised to start the Ubuntu One control panel after today's updates and have it tell me that I needed to install Ubuntu One, despite the fact that I was already using it on my Precise install. After following along with the installation of whatever it needed, this crash came up.

I got that on my laptop, and now I'm getting it on my desktop, too. Exact same outcome. Worth noting that relaunching the Ubuntu One control panel still produces the same window asking me to install Ubuntu One; this prevents me from being able to review any of my account details or manage settings outside of the web interface.

Ubuntu one allready "installed" but keeps asking me to install it and crashed in the process .

Problem is solved if you manual install :

sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-control-panel-qt

So it looks like a broken dependency rule.

my issue solved after sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-control-panel-qt

Anyone who is seeing a similar issue to this on precise: it is almost certainly bug #939797 instead. Please tick the "affects me too" link on there if it does. And as has been stated already, instlaling ubuntuone-control-panel-qt is a workaround.

When I opened Ubuntu One from the menu, the new interface appeared asking me to install Ubuntu One. During this process I received the crach report and now the old version of Ubuntu One is opening.

when i try to start UbuntuOne there is a messege, that i first have to install UbuntuOne. But it crashed...

As zzecool mentioned, this issue is solved after installing ubuntuone-control-panel-qt. That problem is being fixed on the bug mentioned by Rodney.

I'll mark this bug as incomplete. If this workaround doesn't solve the problem for you, please revert to new and add a comment with the description of what you are experiencing.

Thanks for reporting this. We are sorry about the problems this might have caused to you.
pura vida.

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

kaka, could you please tell us why did you marked this bug as New?

Please help anyone.

Hi Halim, Sandra, Nils, crtm,

Have you tried on the terminal the following command?
sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-control-panel-qt

Hey Rodney, could you look at those, it's showing on the top precise reported bugs

@Sebastian Bacher

He already has looked, there is a bug for it, and he's working on a fix. It's a bit difficult because he has never been able to reproduce it, but we are on track for a fix.

There is a simple wrkaround in the meantime: apt-get install ubuntuone-control-panel-qt

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

This just happened to me when I tried to install the Ubuntu One client while offline. It worked ok once I connected to the internet so maybe that is what is causing it?

Subscribing ubuntu-release as the fix introduces a bit of UI for showing the error to the user, and allowing a retry of install, or cancelling. However, no new strings are added in the patch. Also, the new bit of UI is integrated into the main app window, and only shown when an error occurs, and shouldn't affect any current documentation.

Anyone experiencing this bug, could you please try to use https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuone/+archive/nightlies/+files/ubuntuone-installer_3.1%2Br26-16%7Eprecise1_all.deb and post your results here? It should tell you what error you are hitting exactly, and will allow you to retry after fixing it (eg, in case network is down and you need to reconnect). Outside of disabling the network and deleting files from the apt cache, I am unable to reproduce any errors that would result in this problem, myself. This package should hopefully fix the problem for everyone. Thanks.

Rodney Dawes,

I tried following your instructions and it did not work. It tells me that it is unable to resolve certain libraries:

python
ubuntu-control-panel
ubuntu-control-panel-common

GIven the impact of this, would be good to get this fixed for 12.04.1 if possible.

After installation while online with updates, on completion, if one tries to install Ubuntu One ones sees that wobbling list of updates that one has not installed. Is that why?

Rodney,

The impact here is that this bug is the top crasher on errors.ubuntu.com. Is it possible to get a fix for this for inclusion in 12.04.1? We would need a fix available in precise-proposed this week for that to happen.

Hello Deep, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntuone-installer into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntuone-installer/3.0.2-0ubuntu1.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Test case passes with proposed enabled with ubuntuone-installer 3.0.2-0ubuntu1.1

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.

Boa tarde!
Estou usando o Ubuntu 12.04 LTS no virtualbox e não estou conseguindo instalar as atualizações e tambem não consigo instalar o Ubuntu one, talves seja o motivo de está dando erro. Grato! Sandro.

Hi Rodney - My computer crashed as I installed Ubuntu One - & I followed a process that took me through to messaging you. I am not quite sure how this works. Can u send me the fix? Thx, Mark

@Mark Chapman This bug is marked Fix Released for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 12.10. You can simply get the fix by running updates through the Update Manager if you have not done so already. If you are running Ubuntu 11.10, the fix is not available for that version and I suggest you upgrade Ubuntu to a later version.

If you already have the latest updates and you are still getting this problem, however, then I'd suggest you file a new bug report.
