Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tomboy
I've had problems with Tomboy synchronization to Ubuntu One for a very
long time (> 1 year), and it has never worked properly for me. After
having upgraded to Maverick, I decided to give it a new try, starting
from scratch. The bottom line of this bug report is that I can
synchronize new notes, but not the ones I import from my previous
installation. My tests point to that it is not the contents of my
imported notes that are problematic, but rather the file name. Here is
what I did:
0. Removed previously authorized "machine" under Account tab in Ubuntu One Web
1. Quit Tomboy
2. sudo apt-get --purge remove tomboy
3. mv .config/tomboy/ ~/config-tomboy
4. mv .local/share/tomboy/ ~/local-share-tomboy
5. rm -rf ~/.cache/tomboy
6. sudo apt-get install tomboy
7. Start Tomboy: tomboy --debug
8. Edit -> Preferences -> Synchronization
9. Clicked “Clear” to enable drop-down menu to select “Tomboy Web” or “Ubuntu
One”
10. Clicked “ Connect” and authorized in browser window
All was fine this far, and synchronizing worked fine for the three notes
that appear in Tomboy by default ("Ubuntu One", "Using Links in Tomboy",
"Start Here").
Next I added a new note with title "Test" and content "Test" and ran a
new sync, which was successful. Checked that the new note was indeed
available on Ubuntu One.
Next I coped one of my old notes (created on my previous Lucid
installation) into the tomboy notes folder:
[quit tomboy]
cp ~/tomboy/00a646e8-932b-4ee0-b50e-38806a2ac8a5.note ~/.local/share/tomboy/
[start tomboy]
After this when I tried to synchronize I got the error printed at the
end of the report (using --debug flag).
So, I figured since I can sync the new notes just fine, there must be
something wrong with the format of the old notes. So, replaced the
content of the old note with the content of the new note I just created
(title: Test, Content: Test) using a text editor (so the files were
identical except for the filename), and ran a new synchronization. It
failed with the same error as before, which leads me to believe there is
no formatting problem with my old note. The only difference between the
note that syncs fine and the one that doesn't is the filename. I'm not
sure what that means but I hope it can be useful to you somehow to you
developers.
At the end, I deleted the imported (old) note, did a new
synchronization, which worked fine.
Very strange bug, I hope you can fix it. I'm willing to help. My only
workaround to get my dozens, if not hundreds of notes imported and
properly synced would be to import all old notes, copy and paste them
over to new empty notes, and delete the old ones. Tedious, but should do
the job.
Thanks for the hard work!
