'gnome-online-accounts': Signing in with Google account doesn't work

[MikiVanousek]

Describe the bug

If I open Gnome Settings and try to sign in with Google, nothing appears in the dialog:

If I run settings from terminal, try adding an account and then dismiss the empty dialog:

This seems to be a more general issue with GNOME web.

 - system: `"x86_64-linux"`
 - host os: `Linux 6.0.9, NixOS, 22.11 (Raccoon), 22.11.20221122.c9538a9`
 - multi-user?: `yes`
 - sandbox: `yes`
 - version: `nix-env (Nix) 2.11.0`
 - nixpkgs: `/nix/store/l87rh6axkgs7sh3ba4aqnw2wqvlzc3wg-source`

Whoa, its fixed for me. GNOME Web works again. Is it also true for you @buckley310? I am on 22.11.

[buckley310]

Nope.

[MikiVanousek]

Interesting. I have had this issue for months, but now it is gone 😄. I will keep the issue open for you.

[buckley310]

I don't normally use these programs so I just basically let it sit for a week to see if the problem dissapears 😆
I updated 22.11 to 0938d73 today, though, and the issue still occurs, so decided to investigate a little more.

The issue did not occur when I ran epiphany under Xephyr.
Thinking it might be a driver thing, I tried switching from nvidia to nouveau, and sure enough that also resolved the issue.

@MikiVanousek are you using nvidia graphics by any chance? If so, did you switch drivers or mux modes last week?

[MikiVanousek]

No, I use an integrated Intel graphics. I don't think I changed drivers.

Hello @MikiVanousek & @buckley310 👋

I tried to reproduce this issue, but failed to do so. Maybe for you the issue has also been resolved? If you think it has been solved by now, would you be able to close this issue?

(I'm going through issues marked as stale to see what can be resolved. If you think this issue still exists then don't mind me).

[buckley310]

My machine still has this issue.

Yesterday I used gnome-control-center to log in to my google account on hyprland. It was normal. Maybe it has something to do with gnome desktop?

The OP looks like a duplicate of #169201
so it was probably fixed by #201219

The empty GNOME Web and sometimes gnome-online-accounts is probably #32580
