gnome 3.22 unable to authenticate to google account
hello -
i recently upgraded my laptop from wheezy through jessie and straight
on to stretch. almost everything went much more smoothly than i had
hoped. the one glaring problem is that i am unable to re-add access to
my gmail account and google calendars using either evolution or gnome's
online accounts:
evolution=3.22.6-1
evolution-data-server=3.22.7-1
gnome-online-accounts=3.22.5-1
in both applications i am presented with the oauth2(?) popup window
that asks for email and then password. after entering the password,
the popup stays in place but displays nothing (just goes white). for a
brief moment i sometimes see a flicker of a message saying "something
has gone wrong". no option other than to close the popup or to hit
cancel, and the account is not added. i have 2-factor turned on, but
was successfully accessing both imap and calendars from wheezy's
evolution previously. i tried the previously working app password and
also the main password. also tried creating a completely new local
user and a completely new gmail account (imap enabled, no 2-factor).
same problem.
are others able to add google accounts via stretch's gnome 3.22
applications?\
thanks in advance for any help!
andy
