Description Joshua Rich 2023-11-08 11:53:59 UTC
I am trying to add my Google account in the KDE Desktop spin of Fedora. I can go to Settings->Online Accounts->Add New Account... and select a Google account. 

I get the pop-up box (web authentication for Google) asking me for my e-mail address. I input it and press enter (or click “next”) and the little blue bar moves from left to right across the box, but it never prompts me for my password or does anything else. It never times out either, it just sits there with the little blue bar moving.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Settings->Online Accounts
2. Click Add New Account... button
3. Choose Google
4. Enter Google account name.

Actual Results:  
I get the pop-up box (web authentication for Google) asking me for my e-mail address. I input it and press enter (or click “next”) and the little blue bar moves from left to right across the box, but it never prompts me for my password or does anything else.

Expected Results:  
Get the prompt for password and follow-up steps for adding an online account to KDE.

It appears that this is the same problem listed in:

https://discuss.kde.org/t/kde-online-accounts-not-signing-in/3411

On the thread, a representative from the KDE org has mentioned this is likely due to an outdated version of the signon-ui package in Fedora. 

It appears that the signon-ui package that Fedora ships is up-to-date?

rpm -qa | grep -I -d skip -D skip signon
signon-8.60-12.fc38.x86_64
signon-ui-0.15-19.fc38.x86_64
signon-plugin-oauth2-0.24-6.fc38.x86_64

The package info leads me to the package homepage: Online Accounts: Sign-on UI in Launchpad 9. Version 0.15 is the latest there.

Has the sigon-ui changed owners or moved its source elsewhere and Fedora needs to update?
