[Bug 1029289] Re: Need to authorize my google account each time I boot the computer

 

Hello François, or anyone else affected,

Accepted evolution-data-server into trusty-proposed. The package will
build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/evolution-data-server/3.10.4-0ubuntu1.3 in a few hours, and then in the
-proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  [Impact] Google calendar integration is broken, and users are
  requested to re-enter their Google password everytime they log in, or
  everytime they enable/disable their Google account from the System
  Settings.

  [Test Case] Disable/re-enable your Google account. When affected by
  this bug, a notification will appear and you'll be asked to enter your
  Google password in the Online Accounts panel in System Settings.

  [Regression Potential] Minimal: the fix is a backport of a patch from
  the evolution-data-server code which is already in 14.10, and which
  only touches the calendar code (which is currently broken).


  Old description
  ===============

  [Test Case] Sometimes after one day, sometimes after one week, the
  system indicator will turn red and the Google account will be marked
  as needing reauthentication. Time can vary, but any period shorter
  than one month is a symptom of the bug.

  [Regression Potential] Minimal: the change to the Google plugin (in
  account-plugins) simply changes the authentication method, in a way
  that is well-documented. The change in signon-plugin-oauth2 affects
  only those accounts/providers which use the OAuth refresh tokens --
  which is only Google, at the moment -- and in a way that can't
  possibly break any existing functionality; if the new code had some
  mistake, the refresh token would be unusable and the system would
  automatically fall back to requesting a new access token (which is
  exactly what happens now, with this bug).

  I'll try to find why the account-plugins package was not uploaded;
  indeed, both are required in order to fix this bug.
