Ubuntu One startup on Mac

Solution 1:

sorry for the confusion. So, this is actually two bugs.

First, the preference box is labelled confusingly wrong. It does not mean "start syncing when you log into your computer". It means "start syncing when the Ubuntu One background sync program starts". The Ubuntu One background sync program, called ubuntuone-syncdaemon, is intended to be running all the time, and this preference is for people who want to manually control when it uses the network. I recommend you keep it on.

Second, the mac client does not currently add itself to the login items list, so it will not start at login unless you add it there manually. Adding it manually is exactly the right way to solve your problem, because that is all that a fixed version will do anyway.
