Ubuntu One Client

How do I use one.ubuntu.com/notes?

Asked by Dylan McCall

Having given up on UbuntuOne to synchronize my Tomboy notes directory using local sync, I want to use an external server with Tomboy's neat web hosting stuff. I have Tomboy 1.0 on both my Jaunty and Karmic machines, and from the Karmic machine's default details for "Tomboy Web" under Synchronization Preferences, I learned that there is a such thing as one.ubuntu.com/notes! Looking at it, things appear hopeful :)

However, from both the Karmic and Jaunty machines, upon clicking on "Connect to server" in Tomboy to test that, I am told "Server not responding. Try again later." Is this feature still in the making, or do I need to give Tomboy a push in the right direction?

There are a couple known bugs we are working on, not sure if that's what you're seeing, so could you please run:

$ tomboy --debug

on a terminal and attach the output. That would give us a better understanding of what the error you're seeing is

Okay, here is the output from tomboy --debug, with the relevant error message at the bottom :)

I used a regular folder under ubuntuone as the "Local Folder" sync in my tomboy preferences. Tomboy synched automatically and created a number of XML files and an XML index. I guess in a way it has created a notes cloud. I can sync any ubuntu running tomboy and ubuntu one (logged on as me) to synch the notes.

It would be nice to be able to retrieve the notes via the web interface, but it is not easy to read the XML files online. Once has to download them and use a text editor to read. This would have been a nice feature to allow me to read my notes online from a non-ubuntu machine.

Thanks!
