| lafon | how can i connect my ubuntuone account to my computer? | 18:12 |
|---|---|---|
| jo-erlend | lafon, run ubuntu one client and log in? | 18:13 |
| lafon | the client doesn't open up the browser to do that | 18:14 |
| lafon | In fact what I'm really wondering is how do i login | 18:14 |
| jo-erlend | I don't remember if it opened my browser at all when I connected for the first time here. I don't think so? | 18:15 |
| lafon | oh. so what you are saying is that i need to go to the application panel: name>Ubuntu One... | 18:16 |
| jo-erlend | I don't understand exactly what that means, but yes, you run the application called Ubuntu One. | 18:18 |
| jo-erlend | then you click on "I already have an account" and it'll ask you for your passord and email. | 18:18 |
| jo-erlend | I just tried it in a guest account to be sure. | 18:18 |
| karni | lafon: Which version of ubuntu are you running? | 18:19 |
| lafon | 10.04 | 18:19 |
| karni | lafon: Have you logged in before? | 18:19 |
| jo-erlend | lafon, ah. That's relevant. I'm using 11.04. | 18:19 |
| karni | lafon: Or is it this the first time you log in to U1 | 18:19 |
| karni | jo-erlend: ;) | 18:19 |
| lafon | not on this computer. its been a few years | 18:19 |
| lafon | 2 maybe | 18:20 |
| karni | lafon: So you haven't logged in on this computer before? | 18:20 |
| lafon | nope | 18:20 |
| karni | o | 18:20 |
| karni | ok | 18:20 |
| lafon | last time was on 7.10 | 18:20 |
| karni | Open: | 18:20 |
| karni | System -> Preferences -> Ubuntu One -- can you see it there? | 18:20 |
| lafon | yup | 18:20 |
| lafon | and opened | 18:20 |
| karni | lafon: Can you click to _log in_ ? | 18:21 |
| lafon | no such button | 18:21 |
| karni | lafon: It should open the browser. | 18:21 |
| lafon | yeah that doesn't happen | 18:21 |
| karni | lafon: please open seahorse (You can use: Alt+F2 type in seahorse and Enter) | 18:21 |
| lafon | I tried that before and waited for half an hour | 18:21 |
| karni | lafon: and make sure you don't have "ubuntu one" entry in there | 18:21 |
| karni | lafon: no need to wait so long. | 18:21 |
| lafon | btw what is Desktop Couch? | 18:22 |
| karni | lafon: If you somehow do have Ubuntu One entry in seahorse, please delete it. | 18:22 |
| lafon | nope no ubuntuone entry | 18:22 |
| karni | lafon: It's a database software that sits on users computer, it supports replciation so it can sync data with U1 (like, bookmarks) | 18:22 |
| karni | lafon: All right. What do you see when you open the Sys -> Prefs -> Ubuntu One? | 18:23 |
| lafon | so does everyone have two of them? | 18:23 |
| lafon | The ubuntu one preferences window | 18:23 |
| karni | lafon: Desktop Couch is a software. CouchDB is the database. And there's a corresponding CouchDB database on the server, if the uses uses it, yes. | 18:23 |
| karni | lafon: Can you go to 'Devices' seciton? | 18:23 |
| karni | *section | 18:23 |
| jo-erlend | any ideas how I can get my contacts soon? It's important to me and I really don't want to copy them by hand. | 18:23 |
| lafon | yup | 18:23 |
| karni | lafon: I know it's that window. I mean what is in that window :) | 18:24 |
| karni | lafon: Interesting. Then you have your U1 configured already. You would not see it otherwise. | 18:24 |
| lafon | <LOCAL MACHINE> | 18:24 |
| karni | lafon: Click delete next to it (or 'Remove') | 18:24 |
| lafon | limit bandwith | 18:24 |
| lafon | can't | 18:24 |
| karni | jo-erlend: Please come back tomorrow and ask rye, he'll know better. | 18:24 |
| karni | lafon: can't? | 18:24 |
| lafon | the only buttons are connect and restart | 18:24 |
| karni | lafon: try connect | 18:25 |
| karni | lafon: if you have no U1 in seahorse, it doesn't have your credentials | 18:25 |
| karni | so it should ask you to log in in the end. | 18:25 |
| lafon | alright | 18:25 |
| karni | lafon: I'll be back in 2min | 18:25 |
| lafon | so the connect box has been greyed out | 18:25 |
| karni | lafon: type this in the terminal and paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com: u1sdtool --status | 18:29 |
| karni | or: u1sdtool -s | 18:29 |
| karni | (same command) | 18:29 |
| lafon | karni: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641448/ | 18:31 |
| karni | lafon: try u1sdtool --connect , wait short moment, and paste u1sdtool --status again | 18:31 |
| lafon | status is identical | 18:32 |
| karni | lafon: Are you using default NetworkManager to manage your connection or something else, like WiCD ? | 18:33 |
| lafon | no its a dial-up connection so wvdial | 18:33 |
| karni | lafon: Probably U1 this there's no network connection. It bases on NM to track network. I'm not 100%, please come back tomorrow and ask again. There will be support guys around :) | 18:34 |
| lafon | ok | 18:35 |
| lafon | so can i remove networkmanager without damaging my system? | 18:35 |
| jo-erlend | if you don't use network-manager, then you can remove it. You can always reinstall it later if you want to. | 18:38 |
| karni | lafon: ↑ true. But I think it's a U1 dependency. | 18:48 |
| karni | Which theoretically is a bug, but.. Not something I want to talk about right now :) | 18:48 |
| lafon | does look like it. i uninstalled and u1 doesn't even startup | 18:48 |
| lafon | so i need to reinstall, and find a way to disable rather than remove | 18:49 |
| lafon | huh. just used firefox for an unrelated reason and i got the message that it was already running | 19:00 |
| dobey | karni: it is not a dependency | 19:45 |
| karni | dobey: doesn't U1 require NM ? | 19:46 |
| dobey | no | 19:46 |
| dobey | it assumes there is network, if there isn't a networkmanager to talk to | 19:46 |
| karni | dobey: cool | 19:46 |
| karni | thanks | 19:46 |
| karni | I'll know next time. | 19:47 |
