I have the same problem. I don't need/like to add a "google account", I only need to use it for empathy. When adding it to ubuntu-online-accounts as a jabber account, in the format accountname -AT- gmail.com, empathy can't connect and asks for authentication, the following message is sent to stderr:
(empathy:8345): folks-WARNING **: Failed to reach quiescence normally (0 backends and 1 persona stores still haven't reached quiescence). Forcing IndividualAggregator quiescence due to reaching the timeout. the account works if it's set up as a "google account", it works in pidgin and in empathy running in other distributions which use gnome online accounts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069531 Title: Cannot login to Empathy after setting up Google online account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1069531/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
