Ubuntu – Ubuntu One does not sync: firewall settings

firewallsyncubuntu-one

I'm new to Linux. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a partition and I love it, but Ubuntu One does not work. I created a free account and a directory Ubuntu One appeared automatically, as expected. I copied there some files and a couple of directories, just text files, therefore very light. U1 tries to sync, but fails and keeps on trying again. When I close the session I must force exit, because it is still trying. My router has a firewall: can it cause the failure? When I use Windows, on the other partiton, I have no problem with Dropbox.

Solved. See Does Ubuntu One require administrator privileges?

Hi, Looks like you have switched users. If you log in to Ubuntu One and sync your >files, then log into Ubuntu One as a different user on your ocmputer and perform a >sync without clearing out the old metadata you will get errors. To fix this please >open a Terminal and run the following commands:

u1sdtool -q

rm -rf ~/.local/share/ubuntuone

u1sdtool -c

Let Ubuntu One run for a bit as it recreates your metadata.
