Yes, that's what I'm doing. However, you should see definitely see avatars in the notification indicator.
Some details on how I added the avatars to the contacts book: 1) Create a new contacts book entry with your own e-mail address and save it in the "personal"/system contacts book. 2) Then add an avatar to it. 3) The avatar should now be shown in the contacts book. Then: 0) stop ubuntu-push-client 1) Add a Gmail account. Do not grant account to the contacts (even though I don't think that this part is relevant as the contacts are accessed by account-polld and not by the Gmail app). 2) Send yourself an email from the account for which you added the avatar. Send it to the Gmail account you added. Wait a few seconds and then: 3) start ubuntu-push-client Starting/stopping ubuntu-push is important as this bug only appears when polling from outside of the regular polling mechanism, e.g. when the account is initialized in account-polld! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1498214 Title: account-polld plugins hang when displaying a notification on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1498214/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
