[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 534488] Re: Tomboy fails to synchronize its notes with ubuntu one

[Martijn Bolhuis]

I have a solution for those who get this error: "Synchronization failed
with the following exception: A note with this title already exists: New
Note Template"

Apparently, there is already a note with the name "New Note Template"
but I don't see it in Tomboy for some reason. However, it does exists. I
took the following action:

- Browse to the folder /home/username/.local/share/tomboy
- Open each file in there with a text editor (I used Gedit) one by one until you find one containing: "<title>New Note Template</title>"
- Change the content of <title> tag and save it. (For example "<title>New Note Template1234</title>"
- Synchronize your tomboy notes

That's it! Hopefully that will work for you.
