About every two weeks, both of my google accounts are no longer signed into Empathy, and Empathy presents the usual message "Google Talk account requires authorisation" along with a button that opens the online accounts settings manager. Neither of the Google accounts provides any way to grant authorisation. The only thing I've found that works is to delete the account and create a new Google account to replace it. That account will then function properly for about two weeks, at which point the cycle begins again.
This has been going on for ages. This bug report has been open for 10 months with no apparent progress towards a fix. Please fix it. -- 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/1164939 Title: Google Talk account in empathy refuses to sign in To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1164939/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
