I had the same problem. I tried to start empathy from kde and it asked me the autorization. I clicked on the button and it gave me the google login page and then asked me to connect telepathy to google account.
After that telepathy kde was able to connect without problems. I think that kde implementation of telepathy misses the code for connect accounts to the system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070873 Title: kde-telepathy, impossible to connect to gmail accounts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-kde-telepathy/+bug/1070873/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
