OK, so it seems that something is broken before the request even gets to signon-ui. Could you please do the following then:
sudo gedit /etc/signond.conf Then uncomment (remove the initial ";") the line with "LoggingLevel", and set the level to 2. Then save the file and quit gedit. Then, killall signond And try to create a twitter account again. It should still fail, but at least this time there will be some information logged into the /var/log/syslog file. It would be great if you could copy the last part of it, from the line "Signond SUCCESSFULLY initialized" on, and paste it here (make sure that no passwords are logged; they shouldn't be, but please double check and, if you find them, just overwrite them with some random text). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center-signon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073788 Title: Online Accounts doesn't show Twitter OAuth page Status in Online Accounts: GNOME Control Center: Incomplete Status in “gnome-control-center-signon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: To reproduce: System Settings -> Online Accounts -> Add account... -> Twitter Expected: Twitter OAuth page shown, asking for my login and permission Actually: Nothing shown, but a gray bar saying "Please authorize Ubuntu to access your Twitter account".
