Comment 5 for bug 1306225

On 13.10 the notification pops up correctly when starting the client. So, I'm resolved to think the issue with the notification on 12.04 is part of a larger issue, and is not going to get fixed.

However, there is an issue with the syncdaemon when the date is set to one after June 1. The syncdaemon in this condition does avoid connecting to the server, but the process itself is not exiting cleanly. Also, the dbus service is not started, which leaves any client programs which interact with the syncdaemon, hanging until dbus times out, which can be a fairly long time. I've only tested with the command line tool u1sdtool, but I expect the ubuntuone-control-panel and Nautilus to hit similar problems in this situation.
