Bug Description

In my computer, my Music folder has some invalid pathnames, so when trying to calculate the size of it, the CalculateSize thread fails with:

2012-03-19 13:06:33,861 - ubuntuone.controlpanel.qt.folders - ERROR - size_calculator: failed for u'/home/nessita/Music':
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/nessita/canonical/controlpanel/computer-to-cloud-page/ubuntuone/controlpanel/gui/qt/folders.py", line 362, in run
    for dirpath, _, filenames in os.walk(self.path_name):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py", line 294, in walk
    for x in walk(new_path, topdown, onerror, followlinks):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py", line 284, in walk
    if isdir(join(top, name)):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 71, in join
    path += '/' + b
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 12: ordinal not in range(128)

And then, the method LocalFoldersPanel.update_sizes never clears the header that reads 'Calculating', since item.size will return None for ever for the Music folder.

We need to define a constant to flag the calculation error, and show in the listing something like 'size unknown' for the failing item.

[Test Case]
0. Place files with utf8-invalid file names inside the ~/Documents, ~/Music, or ~/Pictures folders for example, which is not synchronized to Ubuntu One.
1. Ensure the local user account is not connected to an Ubuntu One account yet.
2. Run ubuntuone-control-panel-qt and create a new account, or log into an existing account.
3. When stepping through the resulting wizard, and arriving on the "Computer to Cloud" page, the above UnicodeDecodeError should occur, without this fix. With
the fix, size calculation of the local special folders should succeed without problem.

[Regression Potential]
Minimal. Fix includes unit tests.

Thanks for uploading the fix for this bug report to -proposed. However, when reviewing the package in -proposed and the details of this bug report I noticed that this bug is not fixed in the development release of Ubuntu. What are the plans for getting this fixed in Quantal? Additionallly, the bug description is missing required SRU information as described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/#Procedure.

We have not yet opened our stable branches for quantal, but this bug is fixed in trunk, from which that branch will be started, so it will be fixed in the first package we do for quantal.

Hello! This bug is attached to an upload in the queue for precise-proposed. However, it does not contain the requisite fields for the SRU team to process the upload. Please add them per the process outlined here. To be more succinct, make sure the bug description lists these fields: "Impact, Dev Fix, Stable Fix, Regression Potential, Test case".

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure

The upload will likely not be looked at by the SRU team until these fields are present.

Thank you!
