Issue with UbuntuOne and Lucid

There have been a bug some users are experiencing that prevents them from adding their computer. Can you please try the following.

   1. close the Ubuntu One Preferences application window (if it's already open)
   2. open your Terminal (located in Applications >> Accessories)
   3. and type the following:

 u1sdtool -q; killall ubuntuone-login; u1sdtool -c

This should force a web browser to open and put you at step 2 of this process:
https://one.ubuntu.com/support/installation/

thank you,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Tried your suggestion above and It does not force a browser to open prompting me to add a device. Currently running Firefox 3.6.3 on Lucid.

By the way - I had come across your suggestion in one of the UbuntuOne tickets and it did not work for me then either.

Any further suggestions?

Hi Robert,

We've been unable to reproduce this issue where certain users never get the "add your computer" step. Can you answer the following questions to help us eliminate some possibilities?

1. Are you behind a proxy server?
2. How do you connect to the network? (Network Manager?)
3. If you run the following command from a terminal, do you get any output? ubuntuone-preferences
4. Can you try running the following in a terminal session? wget -q http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34282008/nm-checker && python nm-checker

It would also be good if you could turn on debug mode for the login process so we can get that debug log in a bug report. Can you try the following?

1. In a terminal session run: u1sdtool -d; u1sdtool -q; gksu gedit /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ubuntuone/oauthdesktop/logger.py
2. In gedit, find the line "LOG_LEVEL = logging.INFO" and change to "LOG_LEVEL = logging.DEBUG"
3. Save and close the logger.py file in gedit
4. In a terminal session run: u1sdtool --start; u1sdtool -c

One you do this, please let me know here.

Thank you,

Joshua

Hi Joshua,

Thanks for getting back to me. I have since re-installed a fresh copy of 10.04 and the issue not being able to "add your computer" persists. Adding ppa:ubuntuone/beta and updating Ubuntuone packages accordingly yields exactly the same results.

I am therefore more than happy to assist with this issue by providing additional details/logs as required. Here are the responses to your questions:

1) I am not behind a proxy server.

2) I am connecting via: a) Network Manager and b) Mobile Broadband client. Both connection methods yield same result.

3) When I run ubuntuone-preferences from the command line I am presented with the "Ubuntu One Preferences" screen.

4) When I run "wget -q http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34282008/nm-checker && python nm-checker" I get the following response:
Got state: 4

5) After setting "LOG_LEVEL = logging.DEBUG" I re-ran the ubuntuone login process and have attached oauth-login.log as requested.

Thanks,

Robert

Joshua,

Sorry but I was unable to find a way to attach oauth-login.log and as it's only a short one I have added it here as text. I noticed that there is a missing keyring entry for UbuntuOne.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for answering all of my questions! Ubuntu One isn't starting up because the software is asking Network Manager if there is a connection. Network Manager is returning a response of "disconnected" so Ubuntu One never opens the web browser prompting you to add your computer to your Ubuntu One account. Can you try running the following commands in a terminal session and let me know how it goes?

dbus-send --print-reply --session --type=method_call --dest=com.ubuntuone.SyncDaemon /events com.ubuntuone.SyncDaemon.Events.push_event string:SYS_NET_CONNECTED array:string:

u1sdtool -q; killall ubuntuone-login; u1sdtool -c

Thank you,

Joshua

Hi Joshua,

Thanks for responding.

I ran the commands you suggested twice. First when connected via 3G on Mobile Broadband (USB) and the other when connected via Wireless (Network Manager).

1) When connected via the 3G card I get the following (with no browser opening up):

robert@robert-toshiba:~$ dbus-send --print-reply --session --type=method_call --dest=com.ubuntuone.SyncDaemon /events com.ubuntuone.SyncDaemon.Events.push_event string:SYS_NET_CONNECTED array:string:
method return sender=:1.94 -> dest=:1.137 reply_serial=2
robert@robert-toshiba:~$ u1sdtool -q; killall ubuntuone-login; u1sdtool -c
ubuntuone-syncdaemon stopped.
ubuntuone-login: no process found
robert@robert-toshiba:~$

2) When connected via Wireless I get the following (interestingly the browser opens up and prompts me to add device!):

robert@robert-toshiba:~$ dbus-send --print-reply --session --type=method_call --dest=com.ubuntuone.SyncDaemon /events com.ubuntuone.SyncDaemon.Events.push_event string:SYS_NET_CONNECTED array:string:
method return sender=:1.140 -> dest=:1.169 reply_serial=2
robert@robert-toshiba:~$ u1sdtool -q; killall ubuntuone-login; u1sdtool -c
ubuntuone-syncdaemon stopped.
robert@robert-toshiba:~$

It would appear that UbuntuOne will work through connections configured outside of NetworkManager.

Although I now have a connection... I now appear to have synchronisation issues between Contacts in Evolution and UbuntuOne.

I happy to continue problem resolution with you.

Robert

Joshua,

FYI... I have now configured the Mobile Broadband connection via NetworkManager and it seems to be working OK.

Note that I'm still having issues with synchronisation.

Sync issues are with Evolution Contacts.
Files seem to be syncing OK.

Hi Joshua,

Re the syncing issue with Contacts...

I noticed that in desktop-couch-replication.log periodically the following error appears:

ServerError: (503, '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">\n<html><head>\n<title>503 Service Temporarily Unavailable</title>\n</head><body>\n<h1>Service Temporarily Unavailable</h1>\n<p>The server is temporarily unable to service your\nrequest due to maintenance downtime or capacity\nproblems. Please try again later.</p>\n<hr>\n<address>Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g Server at couchdb.one.ubuntu.com Port 443</address>\n</body></html>\n')

It would appear that CouchDB has an issue connecting to the UbuntuOne server.

Could this be why my Contacts are failing to synchronise?
Are there any known issues with UbuntuOne server that would be causing this error?

Robert

Hi Joshua,

Interestingly I found the following info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Status#Contacts:

Monday, May 3, 2010 at 14:32 UTC: Sync between your desktops and the cloud is currently disabled.

Is this still an issue?

Hi Robert,

Yes, syncing contacts between a desktop and the server is still down. We hope to have this back up yet this week.

Thank you,

Joshua

Thanks for getting back to me and good luck!
