Svn error: .. has unexpectedly changed special status

Tue, 07/20/2010 - 23:53 — sham

To solve this delete the svn:special property by doing this:

svn propdel svn:special FILETOCHANGE

You can also use svn proplist FILETOLOOKAT to see the svn properties on that file.

I had just used this script: http://arctic.org/~dean/scripts/unln to unlink but keep a copy of the symlinked file.
Seems to work quite well.

Ubuntu One Music not syncing (Queued)

Wed, 06/09/2010 - 23:05 — sham
I just bought an album from the Ubuntu One album store. It was very quick and easy to buy but as with many things, once you have handed over the money it got alot worse. Basically the music was 'in my cloud' but it wouldn't sync to my local machine...
Ubuntu has status page
Which linked to a bug report
Which said to open Applicaitons->Accessories->Terminal and run: 
 touch ~/.ubuntuone/Purchased\ from\ Ubuntu\ One/placeholder; u1sdtool -q; u1sdtool -c
This will put a "placeholder" file in your ~/.ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One/ folder and then force the syncdaemon to reconnect and try to sync that folder.

Basically I wasn't in the vboxusers group:

2) If it isn't add it and logout/login.

sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a YOURUSERNAME

3) Go back to plugin manager and try again
