Here are two new observations on this issue: (1) After my brand new install of 17.04, I wiped the entire hard drive of my computer and re-installed 16.10 / Gnome. Online Accounts worked as expected for a while, then the bug came back as described in my initial post. So it seems this is not related to 17.04 only, as described above by others.
(29 I have three different Google accounts. I can get one of these accounts working with Online Accounts, but not the other two. The difference of the working account to the others is that when I choose to add a new Google account in Online Accounts, this particular account is shown as the default in the login window. Online Accounts seems to remember this account somehow (or is it Google that remembers?): - If I accept to proceed with this default account, I am not prompted to enter my Google password for this account, and I immediately get the window telling me what kind of information will be accessed from Google. Then I can add the account to Online Accounts, and it syncs fine in Gnome. - If I choose a different account, I am prompted to enter the account name and password. Then I get the blank window as described above. It seems to me that either Online Accounts is not able to display the Google stuff following the login / password entries, which might be different to what is displayed with that "default account". This might be in line with the idea of an issue with Google's new login window. Also post 2 at https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2333382 mentions some WebKit / GTK issues; could this be related? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gnome-online-accounts in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687019 Title: Cannot add a Google account using Online Accounts in Ubuntu Gnome Status in gnome-online-accounts package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: With Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 (brand new 64bit install on a Dell XPS13 laptop), I cannot add a Google account using Online-Accounts. If I choose to add a new Google account in Online Accounts, a window appears where I can enter my Google email. After entering my email and pressing the Next button, a window appears where I can enter my Google password. After entering the password and pressing the Next button, an empty window appears and nothing else happens. I expected this to show something useful, and actually add the Google account to my Gnome environment.
