Ubuntu One crashed on launch

I starts fine now. First time and second time I started it it crashed.
I remember that I have also started the client itself, after the prefernces app crashed two times....

Possible solution:
start 'ubuntuone-client-applet' from a commandline and close it
start 'ubuntuone-client-preferences' from the system->preferences menu.

I suspect that the first command creates some configuration (file) so that the preferences command can save some preferences to that file....

Can someone confirm this?

ubuntuone-client-applet threw an error that it can not start
ubuntuone-client-preferences.

Now the preferences widget launches okay from the menu.

Now things apparently run okay. When I launch the applet it takes me to a
launchpad site to log in . . . .

. . . except I get this ubuntu one "Launchpad Login Service" which knows who
I am. I click "Sign In" and the page re-renders itself.

https://login.launchpad.net/+openid

Is this Ubuntu One stuff really ready for production?

I get the same problem with an endless sign-in loop.

Confirmed RichardN.. it worked for me anyway.

Then "sign in" looping is a separate issue with the OpenID system, and is being looked at. I don't recall the bug # for it right now though.

Please explain.

Rodney,

it's easy to explain, simple ubuntu one crash.
I'm using a localized (italian) version of karmic.

Ciao
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

Yes. I've already fixed the problem in TRUNK. I was asking for
explanation on why someone seemingly uninvolved in the process decided
it was necessary to remove me from the "Assigned To" for the bug against
the package. :)

Thanks.

You right Andrea I am using the English version of Karmic running in a
IBM thincentre P4
with 2 Gb mem, I check on internet what is this program for and I gave
it a try and just when I tried to open a window indicating the
ubuntuone client has crashed appear.

Let's wait for updatings and we will check up work of the client.

Please explain this change to this bug. Why do you think it should be
unassigned?

I am updated to the release 9.10, and Ubuntu One still crashes when I try to launch it. There are no updates available, and it seems this is marked fixed, so is there anything I can do?

Hi Tom, I think you are experiencing a different issue, for which the
fix is currently in proposed updates for Karmic, and should make it to
the updates archive soon.

The issue in this bug was that the preferences app
(ubuntuone-client-preferences) was having an issue starting up, when the
config directory or file didn't already exist. And this specific issue
has been fixed.

If you want to file a new bug, using the "Report a Problem" menu item on
the applet, or by running "ubuntu-bug ubuntuone-client" we can look at
your issue individually and determine if it's a new issue or if it's a
dup of an already existing issue.

Thanks.

I restarted, and saw that I am now receiving the error, "Capabilities Mismatch". It complains that my version of the client is newer than the server. I opened this as a separate bug.

The "Capabilities Mismatch" is a known issue that we're working to resolve. If you're using the beta PPA, you can run Update Manager and get the fix. Non-beta users will have the fix soon. Follow bug 462828 or our blog (http://one.ubuntu.com/blog/) for further updates.

Please do not go round changing bugs from Fix Released to Incomplete. If
you think the status should be changed, then please instead add a
comment suggesting so, and why you think so. The original issue in this
bug has been fixed. If other people think they have similar issues, they
need to file new bugs, so we can determine what issues they are having.
Thanks.

I have the same problem on my MSI Wind U100x. My netbook is up-to-date.

If you need more information, please contact me.

Ajay, I don't know what you think this has to do with Calculator Generator or Android's Fortune, but there is nothing related to them in this report. You've just created unneccessary work and spam for developers of all 3 projects. Please don't go around adding additional projects to bugs without validating with developers that the same bug is actually in other projects first. Thanks.

Hi Juan,

I'm not sure why you think you're having this bug... You're getting a traceback when you run "ubuntuone-client-preferences" from the command line? If not, this is not your bug. Thanks.

Hi Rodney,

Back when I reported this, UbuntuOne was indeed crashing and bringing up the error dialog when I invoked the preferences dialog. A few updates later (now) I've not seen a crash again since. Whatever crashed then is not occuring now... I can say that Python was updated at least once since then. Thanks Rodney.

I see the icon .. but it usually crashes after a while, showing an "!".

I guess I maybe should have created a new bug report after all. :/

Mea Culpa !

In fact, I have the same bug that Lindy. :-s

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.

Ubuntu automatically filed the report for this and then I manually started Ubuntu one and now it seems to work fine. I am using 64 bit ubuntu karmic and the english version.

Evidently problem not fixed; just crashed on startup; using English Version; 64 bit Ubuntu Karmic

I still can't connect using 9.10 32 bit. The cloud just sits with an exclamation point through it. When I click on it the "Disconnect" button quickly flashes as if it's looping and trying to connect.

Hi,

I'm having the same problem, for no reason, the ubuntu one client crashes if i try to connect with the tray
I tried to launch it from the console without success

Just added my voice to this. I've just updated to most recent packages etc available, and I got this crash for the first time actually, when I came back from the reboot. gwibber-accounts crashed at the same time

I had this issue as well on my laptop. It took me 3 fresh installs to get it working. This may not be any help, but here are the things I did different in the last install...
1. Had my laptop hardwired into the network throughout the entire install. I noticed that it would try to sync time and timezones with servers at the begining, and i didn't have it plugged in so it couldn't reach them.
2. I logged into my Ubuntu one account before I set up the client on my laptop and removed all the registered computers.
3. I was patient. It took a minute or two but it finally started syncing...

I hope the time sync thing helps in the resolution of this bug. In the past I have experienced all kinds of wierd bugs in Windows when the time was off...

Good Luck to you all.
