Bug Description

Attempting to create a UOA twitter account only works about ten percent of the time for me.

When it fails, the webkit popup window shows its success message, but after dismissing it, no new UOA account shows up in the settings panel list or in account-console.

I'm on saucy, with the following relevant package versions:

Here is a complete log from one instance of trying and failing to create a twitter account:

Because I believe this is the same bug, here's a log from an attempt to create a google account.

NOTE: all of this log text, up to the PLUGIN FINISHED line was printed before I typed anything into the google auth page displayed in the separate webkit window. I paused for about five seconds, and it printed all this in about two seconds.

Hi Mike, thanks for the logs; it looks like signond didn't reply (maybe it crashed?). So I'd need the logs from it, too.
In order to collect them, edit /etc/signond.conf and set the LoggingLevel variable to 2. They try authenticating once again, and you'll find the logs in the syslog.
Also, please let me know what version of signond you are using.

That should hopefully reveal what's going wrong.

Mike sent me the logs privately. The problem is in libsignon-qt: it uses the default D-Bus timeout (about 30 seconds) when making D-Bus calls to the daemon, and this is not enough when UI-interactions are needed.

A fix is in progress. :-)
