Public bug reported:

Hi. Due to lack of space, I decided to move the ~/Ubuntu One folder
somewhere on a different partition, where I had more available space.
After replacing ~/Ubuntu One with a symbolic link pointing to where I
moved it, I restarted Ubuntu One, only to find that it crashes with an
IPCError.

"Sorry, an error has occurred and Ubuntu One needs to close."

Reading through other bug reports, I deleted everything related to
Ubuntu One, reinstalled it and, after a restart, it worked (it recreated
the~/Ubuntu One folder). I did again the symbolic link switch and... I
was back at the IPCError message.

Situation: I don't have enough room on my ~/ to store the 5 GB allowed
by Ubuntu One. I need to use symbolic links (with Dropbox it works)...
but I just get IPCErrors.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 and the latest Ubuntu One available.
