GNOME Control Center freezes when trying to add a Gmail account

bd flag

I want to add a Google account on my gnome-control-center online-account. The popup OAuth window for connecting GNOME to Google loads the first page (email), but when I validate, the window freezes and I can't enter my password and validate the connection.

OAuth window freezes:

OAuth window freezes

I get this first window so it's not a graphics driver problem as in this question.

It was working fine until I tried to add another google account (reason for my initial message below), but this may well be completely unrelated, whatever Occam has to say about this.

The problem I have is very similar to this question. I tried both solutions with ENV vars, the first deprecated one WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0, and the new WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1, with no success.

Here are the log of gnome-control-center -v when trying to add a Gmail online-account. The many lines with reading data from TLS connection has failed: WOULD_BLOCK lead me to several threads related to my problem:

I tried updating, removing and reinstalling gnome-control-center, online-account and Geary.

I also had a low memory problem on my system disk, that I solved before trying those updates.

below is my original message*

I have several Google accounts, for the different organizations I work for.

I want to use Geary for those emails. And Geary uses gnome online accounts, to my knowledge.

It seems that you can't add several Gmail accounts. When I try, I can enter my Gmail address in the first Oauth2 window, but when I press Enter nothing happens.

I also tried to had an IMAP and SMTP account, and copy the working settings from Thunderbird, but you can't use OAuth with this option (yet).

Firefox's second Gmail account settings:

Maybe there's a way by manually copying some files.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
