Online Accounts Empty - No Options

My Gnome online accounts is blank with no options at all to add accounts.

Online Accounts is available in System Settings:

Clicking it brings up Online Accounts with only one option, “Information about…”

Clicking that gives me this…

I did find THIS in a year old thread and followed it. No luck.

Ideas?

Do you have kaccounts-providers installed?

I’m on Cinnamon. Do I really need KDE’s kaccounts-providers?

Haha…no :slight_smile:

I read the post too quickly while doing something else.

are you using autologin?
and is it experiental wayland session or X11?

No autologin, I use X11 because experimental Wayland session sometimes glitches on me. But I tried in both experimental Wayland and X11. Same result. And I verified that gnome-online-accounts is installed.

EDIT: I also disabled Desktop and Window Effects. Not sure if that would have affected anything or not.

From what I remember on helping in this regard is that the issue is mainly about the verification process.

I can check in a VM real quick long time i tried that on Cinnamon… and on Gnome it is currently working as far as i remember…

While searching the web for possible solutions, I see that for some, webkit2gtk was an issue. After running pacman -Q to see what is installed on my system, I have 2 versions installed: webkit2gtk-4.1 2.44.1-1 and webkit2gtk 2.44.1-1 .

Not sure if that info helps or not.

/usr/lib/libgoa-backend-1.0.so.2
/usr/lib/libgoa-backend-1.0.so.2.0.0

there is a version mismatch…

libgoa-backend-1.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Downgrading both gnome-online-accounts and libgoa to 3.48.1-1
and the lib version matches again…
a symlink works too i bet

Running cinnamon-settings online-accounts I get exactly as you did.

From you next post, I get nothing…

[wombat@endeavour ~]$ locate libgoa-backend-1.0.so.1
[wombat@endeavour ~]$ locate libgoa-backend-
[wombat@endeavour ~]$

what you have installed?
yay -Qs goa

Issue is a that cinnamon-settings needs to get rebuilt against new goalibs

[wombat@endeavour ~]$  yay -Qs goa
local/gnome-online-accounts 3.50.1-1
    Single sign-on framework for GNOME
local/gvfs-goa 1.54.0-2 (gnome)
    Virtual filesystem implementation for GIO (Gnome Online Accounts backend; cloud storage)
local/libgoa 3.50.1-1
    Single sign-on framework for GNOME - client library
local/pinta 2.1.2-2
    Drawing/editing program modeled after Paint.NET. It's goal is to provide a simplified alternative to GIMP for casual
    users
[wombat@endeavour ~]$

So this is an issue Cinnamon needs to address? If so, perhaps I should file a bug? Or at least see if such a bug exists?

yea just checked and even a simple rebuild of cinnamon-settings is not working must be in the releasecode
