This problem persists in 14.04 for me as well. One of the two Google accounts I add will fail even during the same session with the "authorisation required" error.
I have stopped using Empathy and the Online Accounts configurator completely due to this bug, although I give it a go whenever I move to a newer version of Ubuntu to see if the bug persists. Oddly enough, other messaging applications seem fine with my Google accounts, and no authorisation of any kind is needed beyond my credentials. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1168582 Title: Google talk "Requires Authorization" after suspend/resume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1168582/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
