ubuntu one not syncing
- by Martin
I am really starting to despair as I have been trying ubuntu one for several months, trying it on several machines, and it has caused me loads of different issues wasting me a lot of time. It is not straight forward to use, it should be a piece of software that runs in background and users should not think about checking all the time if it is really doing it's job.

Current downloads: 0
I am running Ubuntu 11.04 64 with all recent updates.
On my other machine the transfer of files seems to be completely frozen, with around 10 files in the queue but no transfer whatsoever.
Another curious issue is on my Ubuntu 10.10 laptop where ubuntu one seems to have completly disappeared from Nautilus context menu, folder/file sync status icons missing. I have therefore been forced to upgrade to 11.04 on this machine.
Anyway, now I would like to solve the ** processing the commands pool ** issue and make sure the client
