I'm not up to speed with the code as yet but I've found the crux of the
issue.
Firstly, I copied from /etc/xdg/ubuntuone/ to ~/.config/ubuntuone/ the
files syncdaemon.conf and logging.conf.
syncdaemon contains a __main__ section and is about 3.6KB.
Next I executed /usr/bin/ubuntuone-preferences whilst watching the
~/.config/ubuntuone/ directory.
The dialog successfully opens and show my Ubuntu One account details.
I noticed that the syncdaemon.conf file had changed length to 78 bytes.
Checking I see that the __main__ section is missing.
I investigated the source code in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-
packages/ubuntuone/syncdaemon/config.py
This code seems to be responsible for deleting the section before re-
writing the configuration file:
def save(self):
"""Save the config object to disk"""
# cleanup empty sections
for section in [MAIN, THROTTLING]:
if self.has_section(section) and not self.options(section):
self.remove_section(section)
with open(self.config_file+'.new', 'w') as fp:
self.write(fp)
I'm not clear on how the self.options("__main__") test is supposed to
work here but it seems to be cause of the issue.
