I found a solution - I had to start the Sync engine. for some strange reason it did not want to start on it own. But aftwer doing the following and replicating it I am happy to say this works.
If you haven't done so already, please make sure that the sync-engine is running. You can do this by opening up a terminal and start it with: $ sync-engine Ubuntu users should not have to execute the sync-engine manually: it will be launched automatically by dbus when its presence is required. If you do want to start it manually under Ubuntu, you should execute $ synce-sync-engine my thanks to http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceSetup/SyncEngine -- failed to execute program sync engine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469677 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
