Canonical Closes Ubuntu One Notes Service, Deletes People’s Notes

Dear all,

The Ubuntu One Notes service is going to be shut down a few days from now. I happen to use this service quite heavily through Tomboy and my work will be negatively impacted.

I had previously removed Ubuntu One from my system as I had been using Dropbox and gedit for notes sync. I have since decided to use Tomboy and sync with Ubuntu One. I installed Tomboy and Ubuntu One from the USC. When I go to the Sync tab in Tomboy preferences, I do not see any sync options other then local (Which is also grayed out). I have also enabled ALL add-ins for sync.

I have not logged onto one.ubuntu.com (U1) in a few months, but have been frequently syncing my Tomboy notes. It consistently indicates successful sync.

Today, for the first time ever I had an error while syncing. I did not record it (cannot locate a log containing it). Now, on U1 dashboard, I see no trace of my notes.

Recently, Ubuntu One dropped its Tomboy Notes sync feature. Is there any way to recover the notes that I've synced with Ubuntu One, now that the sync feature is gone? I currently don't have the notes synced with any of my computers, but I don't want to lose all the notes that I've synced over the last few years. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/ubuntu-one-notes-feature-written-off

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my EeePC. Works pretty good. I have used Tomboy Notes for several years, and synced with Ubuntu One. Now this morning it seems all my Notes have disappeared, but the notebooks are still there.

What's happened? How can I recover the lost notes?

The open source Tomboy notetaking application is coming to the Web. A new project called Snowy aims to build a Web service that will enable Tomboy cloud synchronization and allow users to seamlessly access and edit their notes through a Web browser.

It seems that the "Notes" tab in the "File Properties" dialog is gone in Nautilus 3.2.1/Ubuntu 11.10. How can you use the notes feature now? What do you do about notes that you have already made? Is there a patch or an extension for this, or is it planning to be fixed in the future? (Why was it removed?) (Related question about portability of notes.)

I installed Ubuntu and I already have an Ubuntu One account. Then I go to the Ubuntu one application in Ubuntu and register my existing account. At this time Tomboy Notes are not synchronized, so I go to Tomboy preferences and set up the synchronize server to Tomboy Web, and Tomboy asks for web authorization...

Canonical is promoting these days their new product, Ubuntu Cloud Jumpstart, a service that promises to deploy a private cloud infrastructure on the client's hardware. How it works? Simple! During five days, a Canonical services engineer and a Canonical engagement manager will build your private cloud on your own servers."Canoni... (read more)
