Sorry I didn't get any notification from this bug until now. >what sort of account do you try to add using empathy-accounts
Mainly telegram, facebook and hangout accounts. Telegram doesn't even work with empathy-accounts. These are purple based plugins. You first need to install GOA and start GOA under Unity (setting export env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Gnome"), then you can add account through GOA. It would be nice if UOA has native support for all protocols using telepathy-haze. At least it expose those under UOA gui, so user can authenticate and add those. ** Tags removed: yakkety ** Tags added: zesty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1604366 Title: telepathy-haze accounts are not accessible through UOA (Zesty) Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Telepathy-haze exposes libpurple's many protocol implementations to the Telepathy framework, so that users can use popular protocol (i.e skype, telegram, facebook etc) through it. But these account are not visible in Ubuntu online accounts. If I run "empathy-accounts" and try to add one of this accounts, it simply doesn't work. It asks to grant permission through UOA, but that is obviously not possible as these protocol never been exposed in UOA in the first place. As of now everything works ok through Gnome online account (tested with Ubuntu-Gnome 16.04 & 16.10).
