I also have this problem, removing and re-adding my google account doesn't fix it. Oleksandr's workaround helped for me.
The problem only appears for me if my Google account is set up. I found on the internet that other people had problems with gnome- online-accounts using 2-factor authentication using gmail. This is also the case here for me, I have 2-factor authentication enabled and are experiencing this problem. My partner doesn't have 2-factor authentication and has no problems. Do other people experiencing this bug also only have this with gmail and two-factor authentication enabled? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174936 Title: online-accounts-preferences crashes immediately when opened To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1174936/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
