The following steps can be followed to completely remove the Ubuntu One client software, then reinstall, and test that the new install is working properly.
Before performing this process, check the Ubuntu One status page to ensure that sync problems are not related to known issues. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Status
REMOVING UBUNTU ONE CLIENT
In order to completely remove the Ubuntu One client from your computer, please do the following (commands prefaced with $ are to be run in a terminal session, without the $ at the beginning):
1. Quit the Ubuntu One client
2. $ sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/ubuntuone
3. $ rm -rf ~/.cache/ubuntuone
4. $ rm -rf ~/.config/ubuntuone
5. $ mv ~/Ubuntu\ One/ ~/Ubuntu\ One_old/
6. Open Applications->Accessories->Passwords and Encryption Keys, go to the Passwords tab, delete the Ubuntu One token
7. $ sudo apt-get purge ubuntuone-client* python-ubuntuone-storage*
----
REINSTALLING UBUNTU ONE CLIENT
And to reinstall the Ubuntu One client software, continue by following these steps:
8. $ sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-client* python-ubuntuone-storage*
9. Open Applications->Internet->Ubuntu One (or System->Preferences->Ubuntu One if you're on a newer version of Ubuntu One) and you should have to add your computer via the web page that comes up once you login to Ubuntu One
----
TESTING THE NEW UBUNTU ONE CLIENT INSTALL
And, finally, to ensure your account is working properly, do the following:
10. Put a small text file in the newly created ~/Ubuntu One/ directory and make sure that syncs correctly, if not, please report a bug by right-clicking on the Ubuntu One client and selecting "Report a Problem"
11. If all goes well this far, move the files and folders from ~/Ubuntu One_old/ to ~/Ubuntu One/ and the sync should happen
Afterward, when I open the UbuntuOne client, it doesn't show my name and email on the first tab. When I click on the "device" tab all the data pops in, and the connection shows as still connected.
P.S. -- When the UbuntuOne connects it uses Konqueror to open your registered UbuntuOne account.

Wait, I thought MS wanted to be friends with Linux? Funny way of showing it.
Home Edition don't need no NFS support. Who in the world would ever run a Unix-based file server in their house :P
....me ........I run a NFS server on the box in the spare room that gives me acsess to my music/video/picks from the living room box's in real time (no DLing first to watch/listen).
In my closet data center, nestled amongst the modem and router and switch and cables, lurks an HP MediaSmart Server EX475. Got one the day it came out at the employee-only price of $300. It's been humming along nicely for many years, although it really cranks out the heat. I'm so eager to try building up a Ubuntu server on that thing!
