Thanks for the bug report, IdleOne, and for the update, 3vi1. Thanks also to those who marked this bug as affecting them.

IdleOne, are you still experiencing this problem?

I'm able to run either the Ubuntu Lernid, or the one from the Lernid PPA just fine today after installing Oneiric from the 7/21 daily cd (written to usb stick) with the 7/23 updates installed. It seems appropriate to ask the question how are the failing systems different from the working ones?

Therefore, for all still experiencing this problem:

1. What version of the following packages are installed (since the development process can leave some things behind):
python-desktopcouch-records, desktopcouch, python-desktopcouch-application, couchdb-bin, python-couchdb?

Mine are:
python-desktopcouch-records 1.0.7-0ubuntu2
desktopcouch (same)
python-desktopcouch-application (same)
couchdb-bin 1.0.1-0ubuntu16
python-couchdb 0.8-0ubuntu1

2. Can you read your preferences using your browser?
e.g.
firefox ~/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html

After a pause and an automatic redirect you should be able to choose "lernid", and then pick the item with the random looking name and see your lernid preferences.

3. Is yours a fresh install or an upgrade from natty or before?

Thanks for your help in tracking this down.

A couple of additional questions:

What version of Lernid are you running?

Have you done anything with Ubuntu 1 on your system.

Yes, I think it could be.

My versions of the packages are the same as IdleOne's, I can also bring up the prefereces, and my install was a clean Ubuntu 11.04 desktop install that was updated to the latest oneiric packages.

I am not using Ubuntu one but it is installed.
As for the keyring I suppose I have whatever Kubuntu uses.

3vi1,

I see you reported a similar symptom when starting Firefox. How similar is its traceback to the one attached to this bug by IdleOne? Would you mind attaching it to this bug so we can have a look?

For all,

Can you circumvent this problem by creating and using a new user on your system?

Thanks.

This bug was fixed in the package lernid - 0.8.2.2~lr2

---------------
lernid (0.8.2.2~lr2) oneiric; urgency=low

* Oneiric release. (LP: #844923)
* Merge changes to convert from python-central to dh_python2

lernid (0.8.2.2) natty; urgency=low

* Ready for release

lernid (0.8.2.1) natty; urgency=low

* Make schedule a bit easier to read by making font used for instructors one size smaller

lernid (0.8.2) natty; urgency=low

* Add 'avoid-desktopcouch' debugging option.

* Remove #ubuntu-classroom-es. Assign correct calendar to #ubuntu-charlas

* Document the following merges in debian/changelog:

* Add instructor names to schedule.

  * Add option -d (--debug) for message received and members changed events as
      well as for all other verbose messages. Makes --verbose less verbose.
      Fixes LP: #816080.

* Couch desktopcouch in try: clause; ignore desktopcouch database if
unavailable. Fixes LP: #795138 and LP: #516619 by this circumvention.

  * Use a config file as backup for desktopcouch. Window sizes and pane settings
      will not be restored. The config file is recreated each time lernid
      is run, whether or not desktopcouch is available.

  * Get the events from /etc/lernid-classrooms.d/* rather than from the
      Internet. Remove all but the last weeks events and scroll down
      to the current time. LP: #528870.

* Add /etc/lernid-classrooms.d/ubuntu-classroom and
/etc/lernid-classrooms.d/ubuntu-classroom-es

  * Add ubuntu-charlas chatroom choice. These implement the
      lernid-config-file-improvements blueprint
      basic requirements. Also fix LP: #533279 and LP: #793033.

  * Add button to open the slide file in the user's (external) browser.
      Add tooltip text to slide window giving the slide url.
      Resolves LP: #830856 and LP: #530817.

  * Add new [slidefile url] and [slidefile url 3] instructor commands to
      load a slide file during a session, and to load the slide file and then
      switch to the page.

  * Load slide file asynchronously using gio (rather than using threads).
      Again fixes LP: #530119. Fixes LP: #795347. Report downloading progress.
      Restablishes these two functions originally created by Peeyoosh
      Sangolekar.

  * Remove bold effect from the room names in the classroom and chatroom label.
      Include the '#' in the name, if someone had abbreviated it.
      Fixes LP: #806797.

  * Add a ZERO WIDTH SPACE and SIX-PER-EM SPACE following "QUESTION: " to help
      classbot pick out questions without regard to the word "QUESTION" as its
      language might not match the one lernid is using. Addresses LP: 808570.

* Look for classbot messages in a case-insensitive manner. Mark its messages
by making them italic. Fixes LP: #794126

  * Retrieve the value of "QUESTION:" from the session or the event. Look first
      for a question_token value in the session, then for a locale for the
      session, then for a question_token value for the event, then for a locale
      value for the event.

* If locale is used and begins with es, translate QUESTION to spanish, otherwise
leave as english.

* Added a server variable to e...

* Added a server variable to events for later use.

* Replace light style of QUESTION: label with normal style so it doesn't appear
      to be insensitive. Tooltip text applies to both label and the check  box
      itself. Clicking on the tooltext label toggles the button. Fixes
      LP: #806800, LP: #806793, LP: #793029.

* Make Question: upper-case in the notification reminder and in the mouse-over
      text. Thanks to Mohammad AbuShady. Fixes LP: #808569 .

* Handle the response to the user dismissing the Open event window in two
      stages so that the window can be hidden before the remaining processing
      is started. Fixes LP: #806804.

* Add preference to open URL's as a new tab in the user's default browser
      rather than in Lernid. The initial classroom web page and the
      Event->Open URL... dialog are excluded.

Thanks to Peeyoosh Sangolekar for providing this feature. See
      https://blueprints.launchpad.net/lernid/+spec/open-in-default-browser .

* Make the test for messages from instructors and helpers case-insensitive.
      Thanks to Mohammad AbuShady. Fixes LP: #812427 .

* Change the last user-agent product-id from Safari to lernid. Thanks go to
      Mohammad AbuShady. Fixes LP: #793805 .

* Prepend URL's input into the Open URL... dialog box with http:// if
      necessary. Thanks, Diogenese The Cynical. Fixes LP: #793793.

* Set new version number

lernid (0.8.1.5) natty; urgency=low

* Note that LP: #808982 is fixed

* Allow anyone (with voice) to change slides or switch browser if channel
      is moderated.

* Wrap notification requests in try: clause so failure doesn't cause lernid to
      error. Fixes LP: #808982

* Set user-stylesheet-uri in webkit settings to circumvent webkit problem
      with webkit-box-shadow. Fixes LP: #793780. Thanks to the Midori
      project for covering this in their FAQ at http://wiki.xfce.org/midori/faq

* Set new version number

lernid (0.8.1.4.1) natty; urgency=low

No change entry to note fixed bugs in bazaar.

lernid (0.8.1.4) natty; urgency=low

Set for release

Add John S Gruber to AUTHOR file

Correct classroom and chatroom labels if lernid was invoked with the
     the --chatroom or --classroom option.

Fix traceback where appindicator is turned off by preference.

Correct handling of unusual case where a calendar start or stop time is
      missing.

Change maintainer to John S Gruber and add copyrights. Set new version.

In the schedule add italicized event names to the titles of sessions.

Use checkbox rather than a button to allow the user to prepend "Question:"
      to their contribution to the chatroom.

Let the user know about Question: in the session notification.
      Fixes: LP: #793029

When classroom and chatroom are joined change their widgets from inactive to
      active so it is more obvious. Fixes LP: #604658

Switch to the session tab at the beginning of the event. Suggest in session
      notification that the user keep the tab selected to see all visual
      materials. Use an eyecatcher, with color, to point out that additional
      slides or web material are in the session tab. Add a status
      message suggesting the user switch to the session tab. LP: #793788

Warn in the connection dialog that connecting can take a minute.
      LP: #604773

See that only an instructor or helper can change what the browser displays.
      LP: #530185. Add option to override this for testing.
      (--unsafe-override).

Emphasize messages from an instructor, helper, or classbot. LP: #794126

Add a --chatroom option so that the user can specify both the classroom and
      chatroom they want.

Remove nicknames saying <???> by rechecking with telepathy when a nickname
      is unknown. LP: #793048

Fix mispelling of "event" in in lernid/Sessions.py code.

Change format of slide progress message to ease translation.
      LP: #792364

Delay setting pane positions until the system has resized the
      window. Sort of hackish. LP: #801547

Don't specify that "lernid" should be translated in LernidWindow.ui
      and other locations. Addresses LP: #682807

Add classroom and chatroom names to their widgets.

Address LP: #493316 adding extensions to make Lernid more robust when a
      connection doesn't exist, the config site, calendar, or irc server
      cannot be reached, or the connection is dropped. Also addresses
      LP: #528935, LP: #603248, LP: #795339 Supplies default configs or
      calendar as needed. Session entries without complete information are
      noted in the schedule.

Merge Chris Coulson's changes to remove the dependency on gtkmozembed.
      LP: #799211.

lernid (0.8.1) natty; urgency=low

* Prepare next release
  * Retrieve nicks (aliases) rather than ids so nicks displayed match
    user preference (and match what other irc clients display) (LP: #604770)
  * Correct room prefix check to look at channel.name[0] rather than [1]
  * Fix FTBFS on oneiric due to missing, and unnecessary, langpack.mk file.
    (LP: #782740)
  * Merge current translations
