Comment 16 for bug 544753

I also have this error. I was able to workaround simply by removing the ~/.config/desktop-couch/desktop-couch.ini file (I actually moved it to same.old in case I needed it later).

I had just installed a fresh install of 10.04 amd64 version. The old ini only had the [admins] section, the new one has a lot more sections, and different hash values in the [admins] section.

This was my error data from terminal
