Ubuntu One is installed on my MacBook, OS X Lion, and appears to be working fine, other than it does not appear to load automatically at startup.
Please note that Connect automatically when computer starts is selected.
Is there a way to set this up, other than including it as a Login item under the User & Groups in System Preferences? Which is what I have implemented in the interim. (I have Hide ticked so that one does not see the Ubuntu One gui pop up every time one logs in).
But I suspect that there may be a more elegant way of implementing the Ubuntu One start up.

sorry for the confusion. So, this is actually two bugs.
First, the preference box is labelled confusingly wrong. It does not mean "start syncing when you log into your computer". It means "start syncing when the Ubuntu One background sync program starts". The Ubuntu One background sync program, called
ubuntuone-syncdaemon, is intended to be running all the time, and this preference is for people who want to manually control when it uses the network. I recommend you keep it on.Second, the mac client does not currently add itself to the login items list, so it will not start at login unless you add it there manually. Adding it manually is exactly the right way to solve your problem, because that is all that a fixed version will do anyway.
