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