Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client
I am using Lucid with all the updates (as of May 4). Ubuntuone client
version is 1.2.1-0ubuntu1.
I have been editing (using Emacs) a tex file. I do need to save it often and
compile it often. At some point I took a few minutes break, leaving the file
opened. When I returned, Emacs posted a message that another application
changed the file on the disk and asked me if I wanted to upload that version
instead of mine. Luckily I double checked and I realized that ubuntuone
replaced my current version with a 10 minute old version. Apparently it has
been a gap between me saving the file and u1 synchronizing it on the servers
and on the server the old version of the file appeared newer that the current
version. I saved over my current changes and after that u1 refused to upload
the new version of the file. It created a conflict file and the server contains
only the old version. It did not upload the latest version of the file and
u1sdtool --waiting-c
reports that there is nothing on queue.
The result of
u1sdtool --status
is
State: QUEUE_MANAGER
connection: With User With Network
description: processing queues
is_connected: True
is_error: False
is_online: True
queues: IDLE
I tried this (write, save, and compile the tex file, wait a couple of
minutes, make a few more changes, save and compile, and wait a few more
minutes) with a couple of file and I always got a similar outcome. At
one point u1 erased a file leaving only the conflict version
(fortunately it was the right version).
