Gnome Online Accounts: authorizing Google account does not complete

[lifers]

Description In Gnome Settings, I tried to add a Google account but it stuck at the pop-up window. Waiting for fifteen minutes and still stuck.

Clear Linux version 34270, fresh install

How to Reproduce Make sure the computer is connected to the internet. Click the Google option in the Online Accounts section in Gnome Settings. The pop-up window will show up, but it only shows a tiny blue bar (looks like a progress bar) at the top left and nothing else.

Expected Outcome The pop-up window should display Google Account sign-in page.

In this attempt I clicked the Google option then the Microsoft option, both showing blank pop-up window.

I found a workaround,

$ sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

I ran this command and I was able to login successfully, even after reboot. Source: https://lists.clearlinux.org/hyperkitty/list/dev@lists.clearlinux.org/thread/EO652QBF457TCAGRDJX2FGHIS5332EBU/

This used to be an issue but have been fixed in 2019 or 2020 I think....

[mdhorn]

@mdhorn I'll attempt to recreate this when I get some cycles, but seems there is at least a workaround.

Same problem here

(process:6622): GLib-GIO-DEBUG: 11:45:45.482: Failed to initialize portal (GNetworkMonitorPortal) for gio-network-monitor: Not using portals
(process:6622): GLib-GIO-DEBUG: 11:45:45.485: Failed to initialize networkmanager (GNetworkMonitorNM) for gio-network-monitor: NetworkManager not running

(process:6622): GLib-GIO-DEBUG: 11:45:45.488: _g_io_module_get_default: Found default implementation gvfs (GDaemonVfs) for ?gio-vfs?

But the command "glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas" doesn't solve the problem.

[mdhorn]

I'm able to reproduce this on a fresh install of the latest 34370, but the noted workaround did enable account logins. I'll see if there is a pre-compiled package that needs updating after the update to 3.38.

[mdhorn]

Are compiling the schemas and placing then in /var/cache/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled but it appears they are not being picked up under that path. Need to dig into adding that path either through a patch or setting the appropriate environment variable before the settings daemon is started.

[phmccarty]

@mdhorn This is the patch that is intended to make glib recognize that location:

https://github.com/clearlinux-pkgs/glib/blob/5dbf14ac6f/0001-gio-Support-a-stateless-configuration-for-compiled-G.patch

[mdhorn]

I can verify that the patch is working, I can see the code execute adding that path. But something else is not seeing the directory be added.

[mdhorn]

Rolled back to 33710, with glib 2.64.5 and this was working. Stepping through the upgrades to find the breaking point to help isolate the change set.

[dronezzzko]

Downloaded 34930 and the issue still persists. Any update on this?

[rkunschke]

Still the same problem for me and its realy annoying. Is there any good pratice to apply the patch to test it? Is there a reason thr patch is not merged already?

[plegrand1]

The problem is still present when you use this command : gnome-control-center online-accounts But if you use this command : env WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0 gnome-control-center online-accounts

It works fine. I'm not able to explain this, i found this solution on the net Hope it help

[VooqadAfterburner]

The above works for me to

[iyarsius]

hi, same error here, i can see the popup and type my email but when i press enter to access password page, popup is stuck on loading and freeze.

i tried solutions from this topic but nothing happen

[airtonix]

@iyarsius

try

env WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnome-control-center online-accounts

I've turned this into a desktop file named Online Accounts (Fixed) so i dont have to remember.

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.1
Type=Application
Name=Online Accounts (Fixed)
Icon=avatar-default-symbolic.symbolic
Exec=env WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnome-control-center online-accounts
Actions=
Categories=Utility;

[sincorchetes]

I had a fresh install. It's worked without performing any additional steps.

This one worked for me. Linux Mint 21.3

This worked also on LMDE 6 Faye:

Exec=env WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 cinnamon-settings online-accounts

This issue is specific to Clear Linux and is unrelated to the WebKit issue that affected other distributions.

Underlying problem is that glib wouldn't resolve the custom schema that's used to receive the OAuth2 callback from the browser because we store the mimeinfo cache for /usr/share/applications under /var/cache/applications. Fix is in the works and should bump here when it's published. You'll need to reboot after updating for GNOME to reload the affected libraries.
