To do that, in addition of an apt-get update you would need to *then* perform also apt-get dist-upgrade (or, for a more limited upgrade, apt-get upgrade) By the way: > I'm using Evolution 3.38.3-1 on Debian Buster 10. The version in Debian 10 "Buster" is evolution 3.30.5-1.1 whereas evolution 3.38.3-1 i is found in Debian 11 "Bullseye". You probably got one of the pieces wrong. The webkit package mentioned by Milan is named libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 in Debian, with latest version being 2.34.1-1~deb10u1 and 2.32.4-1~deb11u1 respectively. You can find the version you have installed running: dpkg -l libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 Regards ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

That component takes care of the web part of that credential prompt, thus it's the first place to look for changes at. When you run Evolution from a terminal, will it print anything there? I mean any runtime warning. It can be from other than the evolution process itself. I recall some issues with accessibility enabled, specifically with a screen reader, but maybe other parts of it can have its influence as well. Could you try to disable all parts of the accessibility, specially also the Orca? There used to work: $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility false but I do not know whether it's still used. Such change might require restart of the machine, I think. > Is there a special reason that Evolution produces a pop-up to request > a password only for sbcglobal.net, and not for gmail.com? No idea, I'm sorry. Let's focus on one problem, then move to another.

What can I do when the credential prompt doesn't work? As remarked in the original message, the pop-up says "Login to google..." with a grey box and a URL, which rapidly disappears. Then the grey box is filled with an invitation to log in to google, in which nothing works. Any keystroke or mouse click erases the "log in to google" frame, leaving a grey pop-up only with "Log in to google..." and the URL pane erased. I can't send a screenshot of it having the "Sign in to google" invitation below the empty URL pane because any keystroke, including "Print Screen" erases it. > That it misbehaves is suspicious.

There was a key in Seahorse when one gmail account was not working, but not others. Every time I go to google to get a new key, it's different. I replaced the not-working one in Seahorse, and it still doesn't work. And there's no entry in Seahorse for the other not-working gmail account. > If you replaced it, then it's too late to restore to the > previous state.

I've done that, and rebooted, several times. For my sbcglobal.net accounts, when they want a password, there is a pop-up to provide a password. For gmail accounts, all that's produced is the non-working window that invites me to log in to google and get something to "paste into your application." Is there a special reason that Evolution produces a pop-up to request a password only for sbcglobal.net, and not for gmail.com? > Bye, > Milan > > ___ > evolution-list mailing list > evolution-list@gnome.org > To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Hi, there's no place to paste it in, the whole process is supposed to run inside the credential prompt. That it misbehaves is suspicious. Did you update WebKitGTK recently? I do not know how Debian names it, maybe webkit2gtk3 or any other name. I would try to downgrade it. Did you replace an existing value in the Seahorse or the key was not there at all? If you replaced it, then it's too late to restore to the previous state. The "OAuth2 Secret not found" can also show when the evolution-source-registry, or better the libsecret, lost connection to the gnome-keyring-daemon. There usually helps: $ evolution --force-shutdown which restarts Evolution and all the evolution-data-server processes, thus they reconnect to the (new) gnome-keyring-daemon and other background processes, which could restart meanwhile.

[Evolution] OAuth2 secret not found and gmail
Yesterday I started getting "OAuth2 Secret not found" pop-ups for gmail accounts. At first, it's just a mostly-empty box with "Login to your Google account and accept conditions in order to access your mail account "gmail:gmail" (and similar messages for other gmail accounts). There's a URL pane that briefly has a URL in it, but the "image" area in the bottom pane quickly fills with a "Sign in to googlle.com" image in which nothing works. When that happens, the URL is erased. Any keystroke, or a mouse click, erases that box. Pushing the "Cancel" button simply repeats. Closing the pop-up window makes it go away, until I try to read another message. I was able to triple-click suffiently quickly to pick up the URL and paste it into my browser, where google asked me to allow Evolution to access my account. I clicked "Allow" and it put up another message that said "lease copy this code, switch to your application and paste it there:" and then 62 characters of gibberish that I assume is some kind of randomly-generated password. I have no idea where to paste that into Evolution. An offer to save a password in my keyring is not presented. I tried pasting the gibberish into the password box in seahorse for that account, but it didn't change Evolution's behavior.
