You can restart account-polld by entering “restart account-polld”.

If something goes wrong with an account it should stop polling for a
few polls, but not forever, so if you are seeing that it would
certainly be a bug. You can trigger polls manually over dbus:

gdbus call --session -d com.ubuntu.AccountPolld -o
/com/ubuntu/AccountPolld -m com.ubuntu.AccountPolld.Poll

What “bug in the go language”?

taking a look...

from a quick glance at the branch, I'm assuming what you're calling
the major bug is it not resetting the failure count on an account if
the account is updated?

Can you please be more precise and/or specific when describing these things?

>> Care to share what you see going wrong, and what you think will fix it? I'm interested in what you found. The easiest way to build it on the phone is to get the build dependencies through apt, for which yes you need a writeable image. Once you've got that, the easiest (but not quickest) way of building it is just "dpkg-buildpackage" (you might want to install fakeroot though). It's also possible to build it by hand, but it's a faff. On 19 October 2014 17:11, Niklas Wenzel <nikwen.developer@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

>>> Hi, Ever since GMail notificiations were introduced, they haven't been working well for me on my Nexus 4. I've reinstalled the system quite a few times since then (partly to test whether it would change the working status of the push notifications) but it didn't help. About one and a half months ago, I even sent a mail (well, actually two mails) to the package maintainer of the account-polld package but I never got an answer. Therefore, I decided to look into the problem myself now. When observing log files today, I noticed that it wasn't just one bug which kept notifications from working but multiple ones. I know where the problem lies in the code and I think that I will be able to figure out how to fix it. What I don't know, however, is how to test my changes. How can I compile and test the account-polld package on my Nexus 4? Does it require a writeable image? Thank you very much in advance. :) Kind regards, Niklas -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
