I have clean installation of U11.10 (with updates).

f I run Ubuntu One client and try connect to my existent account, I get this error message:

Method "CreateItem" with signature "a{sv}(oayay)b" on interface "org.freedesktop.Secret.Collection" doesn't exist

About this are some bug reports since U11.04, but I'm wondering, that such a key feature do not work at all in final release of U11.10.

I can live without Ubuntu One storage no more - so U11.10 is quite unusable for me!

What's going on ? Where is the update to correct such important issue ?

Please help

This is a bug in gnome-keyring. The fix is already in upstream, and I have initiated a backport process. The fixed package is also available in the PPA.

It's likely a conversion error with your keyring that happened when you upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. If you press ctrl+H while in your home directory, you can rename the folder named .gnome. This will create a new keyring for you, and Ubuntu One will work, but you'll have to enter your passwords once to store it in your new keyring. If you're interested, you can also try to convert your keyring manually, but that might require some more details.

No - as i wrote: "I have clean installation of U11.10" - so no upgrade from anything, so no old keyrings, no (other) passwords, ... – kapetr Oct 31 '11 at 11:30
You did not keep your home directory from another installation? That's strange. I've only seen this with upgrades or if you had a home directory from an earlier version. – Jo-Erlend Schinstad Oct 31 '11 at 12:44
In any case, please confirm that you do not have a folder called .gnome in your home directory. You need to press ctrl+H to show hidden files. If you do have that directory, then rename it and see if it works. – Jo-Erlend Schinstad Oct 31 '11 at 12:55
1. YES I did not keep HOME here. This is test instalation. – kapetr Oct 31 '11 at 15:12
2. YES I have .gnome2 and .gnome2_private in HOME, but I didn't create them. U11.10 did it - so they are for something necessary. Due my old graphic, Unity 2D is used. And my HOME in encrypted - if it's related, I do not know. As I have read in Bug reports, delete this files may not help and can cause other problems. So - it is problem in U11.10 itself, not in my actions. – kapetr Oct 31 '11 at 16:14
