Bug Description
It says Type Error
decode() argument 1 must be string without null bytes not str
I am keeping an eye on the U1 development over a few years already, and each time promise myself to give up.
It always fails miserably, never worked neither on Linux nor Windows.
And apparently never will.
By contrast SkyDrive, DropBox and similar run like charm, without any problems and mistakes.
Shame on Ubuntu!

Identical error on my Win 8 x64 installation. A few more details FWIW:
1) Error dialog as reported as soon as client opens up.
2) Dismiss dialog, client shows local Ubuntu One folder only with File Sync disconnected.
3) Click "Connect", hangs on "Loading... Please Wait" indefinitely
4) Client can be closed.
5) ubuntuone.
