I deleted the google account, rebooted, added the google account. Rebooted, and the error came back up. Some probably superfluous irrelevant info: I'm using 2-factor auth (but reauthorizing the account only requires my password, not a token. Makes sense) Also, in syslog: Jun 17 13:39:38 trololo/192.168.20.20 signond[3733]: ../../../../src/signond/signondaemon.cpp 360 init Failed to SUID root. Secure storage will not be available. I cannot determine whether this is relevant or not. I haven't seen this error connected to this problem yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to account-plugins in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029289 Title: Need to authorize my google account each time I boot the computer Status in Online Accounts: Account plugins: In Progress Status in Online Accounts: OAuth2 plug-in: Unknown Status in Online Accounts: Sign-on UI: Fix Released Status in “account-plugins” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “signon-plugin-oauth2” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “account-plugins” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Status in “signon-plugin-oauth2” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Bug description: [Test Case] Sometimes after one day, sometimes after one week, the system indicator will turn red and the Google account will be marked as needing reauthentication. Time can vary, but any period shorter than one month is a symptom of the bug. [Regression Potential] Minimal: the change to the Google plugin (in account-plugins) simply changes the authentication method, in a way that is well-documented. The change in signon-plugin-oauth2 affects only those accounts/providers which use the OAuth refresh tokens -- which is only Google, at the moment -- and in a way that can't possibly break any existing functionality; if the new code had some mistake, the refresh token would be unusable and the system would automatically fall back to requesting a new access token (which is exactly what happens now, with this bug). I'll try to find why the account-plugins package was not uploaded; indeed, both are required in order to fix this bug.
