Cannot add computer

Hi,

I had the same problem, but the solution from dwp0980 did the trick. Thanks dwp0980!

thank you, thats solved it :D

Thanks dwp0980, that solved my question.

I had the same issue, and managed to solve it by following the directions posted by dwp0980 (for which I thank you), Perhaps an addition to Ubuntu One is called for to add a button to the Your Machines page to allow this to be automated. This is probably not the right page to make these suggestions but I would be happy to do so if somebody can point me in the right direction.

The same issue on my machine. But thanks to dwp0980 I'm up and running again ;-). I have no clue what the reason for this behavior is, but it sure could be a "show stopper" for a newbie...

same issue, same resolution with dwp0980 command

forgot to precise that
$ u1sdtool -q; killall ubuntuone-login; u1sdtool -c
do not solve this issue.
it has the 1st time i've launch ubuntuone client and I was also unable to add a 1st computer.
but deleting and adding the same host was only solve by
$ u1sync --authorize

hi dwp0980 ! Thanks for discovering this. It worked like a charm for me.

Sadly, when I tried dwq0980's solution, it failed for me. Any recommendations?

$ u1sync --authorize
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/u1sync", line 27, in <module>
    from ubuntuone.u1sync.main import main
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/ubuntuone/u1sync/main.py", line 43, in <module>
    from ubuntuone.u1sync.client import (

the u1sync tool is mainly for testing. Though some users have found a use for it to authorize their computers. You should be prompted to add your computer when opening the Ubuntu One Preferences for the first time. If this does not happen it is usually because you have an Ubuntu One Token left over from another install or a previous Auth attempt. In that case you can do the following. (This varies depending on the version of Ubuntu. These instructions are for Lucid 10.04. In older versions Ubuntu One is found under Applications -> Internet -> Ubuntu One. In Maverick Password and Encryption Keys is found under System -> Preferences -> Password and Encryption Keys.)

   1. Quit the Ubuntu One client
   2. Open Applications->Accessories->Passwords and Encryption Keys
   3. Click on the arrow next to "Passwords"
   4. Right-click on the Ubuntu One token and select "Delete"
   5. Go to https://one.ubuntu.com/account/machines/
   6. Click on the checkbox next to your computer
   7. Click the "Remove selected computers" button
   8. Open Me Menu->Ubuntu One or System -> Preferences -> Ubuntu One
   9. a web page should open, prompting you to add your computer to your Ubuntu One account
  10. Add your computer

thank you,

For me this is not working. I tried the procedure described by duanedesign more than twice, and I always get the same error. I have one computer which syncs fine. But this Maveric fresh installed laptop will not sync.
