If I'm not mistaken, the ubuntuone sync service is supposed to start automatically during the boot/login process. But I'm finding that it doesn't on either of my 10.10 computers (one an AMD64 desktop and the other an i386 laptop). I'm using the ubuntuone-indicator, but the problem began before I installed it. In my list of startup applications I find one titled "Ubuntu One" with this command line

/bin/sh -c '[ -d "$HOME/Ubuntu One" ] && ubuntuone-launch'

But the only way for me to start the service is to open the Ubuntu One setup UI and click "connect" every time I start up the computer. Any suggestions as to what might be going wrong?

Here is the message output when I run u1sdtool --status after startup (i.e., before starting the Ubuntu One service manually):

Oops, an error ocurred: Traceback (most recent call last): Failure: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon exited with status 1

Could the problem be related to the fact that I'm using connman and the experimental indicator-network package to connect to the internet?

  • Could you post the output of u1sdtool --status before you start it up manually?

  • The output of that command is the following: Oops, an error ocurred: Traceback (most recent call last): Failure: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon exited with status 1

  • What version of python-ubuntuone-client do you have installed?

It does not start automatically on boot because it needs to know for witch user to connect, in case there are more users set for computer login.

There is a Startup section in the System drop down menu, where you can add it to start automatically at login.

  • I'm a bit confused by this answer. As I said in my question, there is a command in my "startup programs" section to start ubuntu one at login. But it's clearly not working and I don't know why. The fact that this is happening on both my computers is especially odd, since both computers have the star script included in the startup commands.

  • It needs the keyring, witch asks for a password later, after startup. No keyring acces, no Ubuntuone.

You should probably file a bug: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-client. You should also attach your .cache/ubuntuone/syncdaemon.log to the bug report.

There is a start up bug that has affected quite a few people bug #683116. The fix is in the pipeline and we should see it soon.
