Bug Description

Reported by joseantoniorocha in bug #854216

In Windows XP, the log is write to:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Configurações locais\Dados de aplicativos\xdg\cache\sso\sso-client.log

instead

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Configurações locais\Dados de aplicativos\xdg\cache\sso\sso-client.log

Note the bad handling of accented characters. This create another folder with wrong name.

Maybe this new bug is not related with reported error.

I'm experiencing the same on a Swedish Windows XP and noted this in the log.

It seems to me that Ubuntu One internally encodes characters differently. The last one is the way it's supposed to look.

At installation everything is installed in the Folder with the wrong name.

I tested it on a brazilian XP and the logs are going to the right place.
But I got an encoding error when I got to the "syncing your computer with the cloud" step of the wizard.
Here is my log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/695246/

I mentioned this to alecu, but I don't know if he could take a look at the problem.

elopio, can you please try again to see if this bug was fixed?
gatox has done quite a few fixes in our unicode support, so it will be very likely fixed.
