[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 575937] Re: Can't synchronize Tomboy Notes: Server returned 404 NOT FOUND

[drivebull]

I JUST RESOLVED MY CASE.

I was affected by the problem as well, whenever I tried to sync, I just
got:

"Could not synchronize note. Check the details below and try again."
...but the "Details" windows was empty.

I think the problem started after I added some new notes via the Ubuntu
One web interface; some date strings probably got messed on the server
side so the sync couldn't be performed anymore.

After some hours passed trying many different ways, my solution was
this:

1) For ALL of your synchronized computers, back up the local folder,
located in ~/.local/share/tomboy/ (for lucid and maverick).

2) If you know that you have some notes that are on the Ubuntu One
server but not on your computer(s), because you entered them via the
Ubuntu One web interface and got not synchronized, copy them somehow,
e.g. via copy+paste into a notepad or gedit.

3) Go to your Ubuntu One account and delete at least the most recent
notes that you entered via the Web interface; you can delete all the
notes if you want.

4) Now Tomboy should sync; of course, all the notes that you deleted
from the server are deleted from your computer now.

5) For ALL of your computer, SHUT DOWN Tomboy and copy the files from
the Tomboy Backup folder into ~/.local/share/tomboy- , then restart
Tomboy and synchronize.

6) Create again the notes that you saved on step  2.

I'm so happy my systems are in sync again, I hope this writing will help
you as well.

  WORKAROUND:
  Please download the script from http://people.canonical.com/~roman.yepishev/ubuntuone-scripts/tomboy-recovery.py and run it. The script will request new tokens and automatically update Tomboy configuration.
