Investigation: * Seahorse shows two entries for the Google account, one of which lists the correct password, the other of which lists a seemingly random collection of characters separated by percentage symbols * Checked Google account, Ubuntu has permission to access: Picasa Web Albums, Profile Information, Google Docs, Google Talk * Google account is not set up to use 2-step verification * Removed account and seahorse entries, set up from scratch * If possible, will use non-alphanumeric characters in passwords, so tested with only alphanumeric password - no difference * Not going through a proxy Activating empathy-debugger shows: wocky/-DEBUG: 21/10/12 11:22:20.784214: _end_element_ns: Received stanza * failure xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl' * not-authorized * missing-username xmlns='google:auth' wocky/-DEBUG: 21/10/12 11:22:20.784320: auth_failed: wocky-sasl-auth.c:274: Authentication failed!: Authentication failed: not-authorized gabbleauthentication-DEBUG: 21/10/12 11:22:20.784421: gabble_server_sasl_channel_fail (server-sasl-channel.c:929): auth failed: WOCKY_AUTH_ERROR_FAILURE (#6): Authentication failed: not-authorized gabbleconnection-DEBUG: 21/10/12 11:22:20.784534: connector_error_disconnect (connection.c:1760): Interactive authentication error, reason 3, dbus error org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Error.AuthenticationFailed So, it seems that seahorse has the correct password in place, and the Google account is set up in such a way as to allow the application to work. That being the case, it makes no sense to be getting an authorisation error, unless there is something else that isn't immediately obvious. Have checked for open bugs here: * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bugs * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=telepathy However nothing that matched this exact problem jumped out - a lot of issues seem to be with 2-step verification (but as mentioned earlier this has not been enabled). Asked for advice here: * http://askubuntu.com/questions/204062/cannot-login-to-empathy-after-setting-up-google-online-account Was advised to log a bug report.
