Hi,

similar problem on the same versions with same Steps to Reproduce,
but result is error pop up "Error getting a Request Token: Cannot resolve proxy hostname ()". Of course, I am connected to the net.

Regards,
Petr

I had the same bug using a f16 live session (live cd), using both wifi or ethernet connection. After a fresh install on my hard drive, that bug disappeared using an ethernet connection (not tested yet with a wifi connection).

Comment 3 Vincent passaro 2011-11-14 03:48:36 UTC
My fix was similar.  I had to re-install for the account setup to function properly.

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2011-11-14 21:24:06 UTC
Works fine here.

Tested with a wifi connection : OK.

I guess close this out?

Comment 7 Volker Braun 2011-11-23 20:35:07 UTC
I also got the "Error getting a Request Token: Cannot resolve proxy hostname ()" error. Under All Settings->Network->NetworkProxy I had entered a manual FTP proxy but nothing else. 

After switching to "None" (no proxy), the gnome online accounts setup works.

After a fresh install of F16 and update before add a online account, I have the same issue, "Error creating account" Error getting a Request Token: Bad Request"

Comment 9 Juergen Schraten 2011-11-29 08:23:54 UTC
Same problem with an interesting observation:

Both machines are i686, both connected via wifi.

On machine 1 I created google-online-accounts before I updated. It created those accounts properly, but doesn't synchronize them now. I'm not able to change or delete items.

On machine 2 I updated before trying to set up google-online-accounts. Now I get "Error getting request token.  Bad Request"

On third machine, x86_64 tough, everything works fine, was able to create accounts after update and synchronizes properly.

Any additional information wanted? Please ask!

Comment 10 Juergen Schraten 2011-11-29 11:45:18 UTC
Good news: Update to ibus-1.4.0-11 did help on one machine (the other one I'll update tonight).

works for me.....

Been having this problem for a few weeks now. Not only was online accounts down, so was a gnome weather extension I have installed. As Volker Braun stated above, switching the proxy to "none" solved the problem here.

If your system time is not set correctly then you might get:
"Error getting a Request Token: Bad Request"

Google is quite picky about the time being correct.

Closing it for the time being as NOTABUG, but feel free to reopen if the problem persists.

Debarshi Ray, thank you and this worked great. When you mentioned the time, I looked at the time on my computer and it was wrong. I enabled network time and tried it again and worked like a charm.

Thanks again
