I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a fairly old PC, 64-bit version. It runs
okay, but I am having a few problems with Ubuntu One and Dropbox.
When trying to access Ubuntu One, it starts the installation process.
Not sure why as I thought it should have been installed by default, in
fact, when I looked in the Ubuntu Software Centre it says it is
installed. It gets to the end of the installation process and then
crashes and asks to submit an error report and to either relaunch or
close the program. It then restarts and goes through the process again.
It has created an Ubuntu One folder in my Home directory, but I cannot
access any Ubuntu One settings to log in with my existing account. Also
the Ubuntu One installation window seems to get stuck on "Ubuntu One is
installing..." for a long time.
I also tried installing Dropbox from the Software Centre, and after at
least an hour it was still not fully installed, it seemed to stall at
almost being fully installed on the progress bar (no percentage was
shown). I also tried running that, after it seemed to be installed, and
it said it was not installed properly and I had to download the
installation file from their website, which I did. I tried to install
that but that did not complete the installation due to a conflict.
So currently I can use neither Ubuntu One nor Dropbox on this PC. I am
thinking of going to Linux Mint instead as Ubuntu 12.04 seems to be broken.
Any ideas on how to fix these problems or should I just abandon Ubuntu?
