[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 664254] Re: Tomboy Synchronization with Ubuntu One fails with INTERNAL SERVER ERROR for imported notes

Today I tried syncing my Tomboy notes to Ubuntu One again and it worked
without the problems. Same set of notes, same system (Maverick).

Title:
  Tomboy Synchronization with Ubuntu One fails with INTERNAL SERVER
  ERROR for imported notes

Status in Ubuntu One Servers:
  Triaged
Status in “tomboy” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: tomboy

  I've had problems with Tomboy synchronization to Ubuntu One for a very
  long time (> 1 year), and it has never worked properly for me. After
  having upgraded to Maverick, I decided to give it a new try, starting
  from scratch. The bottom line of this bug report is that I can
  synchronize new notes, but not the ones I import from my previous
  installation. My tests point to that it is not the contents of my
  imported notes that are problematic, but rather the file name. Here is
  what I did:

  0. Removed previously authorized "machine" under Account tab in Ubuntu One Web
  1. Quit Tomboy
  2. sudo apt-get --purge remove tomboy
  3. mv .config/tomboy/ ~/config-tomboy
  4. mv .local/share/tomboy/ ~/local-share-tomboy
  5. rm -rf ~/.cache/tomboy
  6. sudo apt-get install tomboy
  7. Start Tomboy: tomboy --debug
  8. Edit -> Preferences -> Synchronization
  9. Clicked “Clear” to enable drop-down menu to select “Tomboy Web” or “Ubuntu One”
  10. Clicked “ Connect” and authorized in browser window

  All was fine this far, and synchronizing worked fine for the three
  notes that appear in Tomboy by default ("Ubuntu One", "Using Links in
  Tomboy", "Start Here").

  Next I added a new note with title "Test" and content "Test" and ran a
  new sync, which was successful. Checked that the new note was indeed
  available on Ubuntu One.

  Next I coped one of my old notes (created on my previous Lucid
  installation) into the tomboy notes folder:

  [quit tomboy]
  cp ~/tomboy/00a646e8-932b-4ee0-b50e-38806a2ac8a5.note ~/.local/share/tomboy/
  [start tomboy]

  After this when I tried to synchronize I got the error printed at the
  end of the report (using --debug flag).

  So, I figured since I can sync the new notes just fine, there must be
  something wrong with the format of the old notes. So, replaced the
  content of the old note with the content of the new note I just
  created (title: Test, Content: Test) using a text editor (so the files
  were identical except for the filename), and ran a new
  synchronization. It failed with the same error as before, which leads
  me to believe there is no formatting problem with my old note. The
  only difference between the note that syncs fine and the one that
  doesn't is the filename. I'm not sure what that means but I hope it
  can be useful to you somehow to you developers.

  At the end, I deleted the imported (old) note, did a new
  synchronization, which worked fine.

  Very strange bug, I hope you can fix it. I'm willing to help. My only
  workaround to get my dozens, if not hundreds of notes imported and
  properly synced would be to import all old notes, copy and paste them
  over to new empty notes, and delete the old ones. Tedious, but should
  do the job.

  Thanks for the hard work!
