Okay, another interesting result: I built and installed couchdb 1.0.1-0ubuntu16 (the Oneiric version) under Natty, and there are no problems... you can make oauth requests to CouchDB just fine.
Now I suspect Erlang issues even more strongly. Between Natty and Oneiric, erlang was upgraded from 13.b.3 to 14.b.2, and I see in the CouchDB 1.0.3 release notes that it: * Fixed OAuth signature computation in OTP R14B02. * Fixed compatibility issues with Erlang R14B02. * Fixed error when restarting replications in OTP R14B02. http://couchdb.apache.org/downloads.html So looks like there are several patched we'd need to add. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780972 Title: desktopcouch-service crashed with Unauthorized in request(): ('unauthorized', 'Authentication required.')
