got here via the automatic bug report. Barry's solution at comment #9 worked for me. Can't really turn this into a script, and besides, the root-cause of this needs to be discovered (mine was a case of upgrading from Karmic to Lucid.) Here are the steps I used in detail:
1.) confirm throttle speed is inaccurate: $ cat ~/.config/ubuntuone/syncdaemon.conf [bandwidth_throttling] read_limit = 2097152 write_limit = 0 <-- this should be non-zero on = False 3.) us the "u1sdtool" (that's a numeral ONE) to disconnect the ubuntuone-syncdaemon $ /usr/bin/u1sdtool -d 4.) find any remaining ubuntuone processes: $ ps -A | grep ubuntuone 5.) kill any Process IDs returned from the command above: $ kill -15 [PID] [PID] [...] 6.) edit the ubuntuone daemon file so that read_limit and write_limit are non-zero (I just copied the read_limit value): $ vi ~/.config/ubuntuone/syncdaemon.conf [bandwidth_throttling] read_limit = 2097152 write_limit = 2097152 on = False 7.) save the file, then set the ownership to "root:root" to prevent the file from reverting (I have not independently verified that this step is necessary): $ sudo chown root:root ~/.config/ubuntuone/syncdaemon.conf 8.) start the ubuntuone-syncdaemon: $ /usr/bin/u1sdtool --start 9.) connect the ubuntuone-syncdaemon: $ /usr/bin/u1sdtool -c Then try opening the GUI again.
