I've tried that, but it is still showing "Account migration required". This time the "RingID:" field is blank though Here is the command I used: rm -rf ~/.config/ring ~/.local/share/ring \ ~/.local/share/gnome-ring ~/.cache/ring \ ~/.cache/gnome-ring Then I tried: dconf reset -f /cx/ring/ and now it starts. >> On the Android device, I have Ring from F-Droid, version 20170215 > This version should be ok.

I don't have Google Play or a Google account on my phone In the app, I press "Link another device to this account" and it asks for a password. I don't remember ever creating a password. I tried a couple of passwords and each time it says "Please wait... Publishing new account information" and after a few seconds "Couldn't unlock your account using the provided password."
