Bug 427063

Hi,

I have exactly same problem on Fedora 33 and KDE Plasma 5.19.5 and with KDE Frameworks 5.73

I believe I have this problem too.  Visible behaviour is exactly the same as in video uploaded in Description.  Adding more detail here to help with diagnose/fix:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open System Settings, go to Online accounts
2. Press "Add new Account" button
3. Select Google

OBSERVED:
* In GUI, the screen goes back to "No accounts added" (If there are none prior), and "Add new Account" button again.  A "Silent" fail.
* When running systemsettings5 in terminal, error output at moment of clicking "Add New Account" is as follows:

"google"
Looking for plugin ""
Starting auth session with "oauth2"
Error storing identity: "Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying"
5
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply"
"Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying"
5
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply"
"Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying"
Error:
         "Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying"

EXPECTED
* View appears for entering Google account credentials


This occurs on KDE Neon 20.04/5.20.0

In my case, I can confirm that kio-gdrive, kaccounts-integration and kaccounts-providers all installed.  I'm unaware if more is required for Google integration to work.

Going further down this rabbit hole, I found there are signond segfaults in dmemsg that correlate with whenever I click on "Add new Account" in Online Accounts section of systemsettings.  It points to an error in libQt5Core.so.5.15.0, and looking into that further (I didn't feel like setting up to stacktrace the error on my system directly), it seems it's an error with qt 5.15 that OpenSuse have fixed in recent months to address this.  Should this be re-categorized as a Kde Neon bug to address an upstream problem?  For reference: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1172904

I have exactly same behavior on KDE neon 5.20 (KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0, Qt Version: 5.15.0, Kernel Version: 5.4.0-52-generic, OS Type: 64-bit)

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 420280 ***

Please explain why this is marked as duplicate?  The steps to reproduce aren't remotely similar.  This is a problem that has already been addressed upstream in signond, as I eluded to in my prior comment.

A KDE developer marked bug 427184 with the same symthom of this one as duplicate of bug 420280.(In reply to Sandro from comment #6)

A KDE developer marked bug 427184 with the same symthom of this one as duplicate of bug 420280.

sorry, I meant "symptom" lol

Sadly, they're both incorrectly tagged as duplicate then. Both the original description of this bug, and #427063 do not properly list steps to reproduce.  Please use my steps in my first comment here as reference.  This problem only began to manifest with qt 5.15 which is a dependency of Plasma 5.20. I do not know where this bug should be redirected, but it is a KDE Neon (packaging?) bug. It is not a Plasma bug.

The problem in #420280 is different, and may well still occur later in the workflow once this is resolved.  I'll try to clarify the specifics of this bug, and how it differs from #420280 using sequential steps of what I assume is the expected behaviour with some commentary:

1. Open System Settings and navigate to Online Accounts.
2. Select "+ Add New Account"
3. Choose "Google"

-->  This is where #427063 is observed.  This triggers a segfault in libqt5core.so which can be traced to signond. See [1] and [2] for more, it's been fixed upstream and basically requires KDE Neon to do the same as opensuse did.

*** Once #427063 is fixed, the workflow would continue to #4 below.

4. A new window appears prompting to enter Google credentials.
5. Enter username, and password (Nature of this depends on how it's presented in the web view from Google)
6. Upon submission, the window simply goes blank.

--> THIS is where #420280 occurs.

humm, in my understanding the problem described in this report was a signond bug
that is already fixed. signond is not KDE software.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 426034 ***

Thanks Patrick.  #426034 didn't appear in my search, or I would have put my info directly into that one from the start!

Is there anything to workaround that problem in the meantime?
