Can't Launch Ubuntu One

  • 772

Could not launch 'Ubuntu One' Just upgraded from 10.04-->10.10 64-bit. When I try to launch Ubuntu One, I get a dialog that says:

Could Not Launch 'Ubuntu One"
Failed to execute child process "ubuntuone" (No such file or directory)

I uninstalled, and reinstalled. I also followed a process outlined here to completely purge. Still doesn't work.

Not sure how to trouble shoot this...

I have logged in via the website and added my computer.

10.10

    I don't know where you're launching it from, but there has never been (to the best of my knowledge) a program called ubuntuone. Running ubuntuone-preferences (which is available in 10.10 in System › Preferences › Ubuntu One should bring up the old preferences application,

    Maverick's Ubuntu One Preferences application

    which should start everything running; if this is the first time you're running Ubuntu One on the computer, this should in turn pull up the Ubuntu Single Sign On application,

    the Ubuntu Single Sign On client

    Lastly should ensure that ubuntuone-launch (visible under the user-friendly name of "Ubuntu One") is listed and enabled amongst the System › Preferences › Startup Applications:

    Startup Applications Preferences
