I got the same error on Ubuntu 11.10 with Tomboy version 1.8.0, a dialog said that note sync failed but the "details" box was empty. Quitting tomboy and starting it from command line, after trying to sync notes I saw:
[ERROR 15:10:43.880] Synchronization failed with the following exception: A note with this title already exists: Oggi: mercoledì 22 agosto 2012 at Tomboy.NoteManager.CreateNewNote (System.String title, System.String xml_content, System.String guid) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Tomboy.NoteManager.CreateNoteFromTemplate (System.String title, Tomboy.Note template_note, System.String guid) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Tomboy.NoteManager.CreateNewNote (System.String title, System.String guid) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Tomboy.NoteManager.CreateWithGuid (System.String title, System.String guid) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Tomboy.Sync.SyncManager+<CreateNoteInMainThread>c__AnonStorey11.<>m__3F () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Tomboy.GuiUtils+<GtkInvokeAndWait>c__AnonStoreyC.<>m__2F (System.Object , System.EventArgs ) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 (Tomboy:11544): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_source_remove: assertion `tag > 0' failed So deleting the named note (after copying its content somewhere else) solved the problem, but this messag should be in the dialog box. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to tomboy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/711192 Title: tomboy sync with ubuntuone fails without any detail information Status in “tomboy” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: tomboy trying to manually sync tomboy notes (with ubuntuone) i get an error message saying that the sync failed and asking me to check the 'details below' and try again. there are no details given below (just an empty list of notes). the sync seemed to fail during the first step "acquiring a sync lock" (my translation from german). i would expect a failure message saying something like: "there is an error on the server-side" or "check your login credentials".
