Hello, this is my first post here in Ubuntu Forums after reading and learning from these forums for more than 4 years. :D

I just recently installed Ubuntu 10.04LTS Lucid Linx in an IBM laptop and a desktop. I configured the One account installed the "Blindwood" firefox addon for the bookmarks and restarted both PC's.

My files synced nicely, but the bookmarks don't seem to sync. I checked my Ubuntu One web interface and I saw no bookmarks nor a "view bookmarks" option.

I googled but couldn't find an answer. What am I doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong. We had to shut off syncing for contacts, notes, and bookmarks. Our service has been experiencing large spikes in new users and overall use with the release of Lucid and is making certain key parts of the system to not function properly. We're working on fixing these problems. Without seeing any logs, I can guess that you're being affected by these issues. We'll keep you updated in two ways on our progress:

1) http://identi.ca/ubuntuone
2) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Status

Once syncing for bookmarks is turned back on, it should automatically sync. There is no way to trigger this, as it syncs every 10 minutes if there are changes to sync. In the not too distant future we'll have a web view of bookmarks so that you can see that your bookmarks are syncing and accessible from the web UI.

Again, apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Thank you,

Joshua
