Publish to Picasa Web gives login failure

[Jan D]

Choosing a picture and trying to "Publish" it to Picasa Web Album returns login failure:

Service https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo returned HTTP status code 401 Unauthorized

Publishing to flickr works.
Empathy chat via google(talk) works.

I see this too. I've created an Ubuntu Online Account for Google, but when I try to publish to Picasa I see the same error.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thanks for reporting this bug.
This bug was already fixed in the trunk; you need version 0.6 (or greater) of package account-plugin-google in order for this to work. Unfortunately, such package is not yet available. Ken, I'm counting on you :-)

However, just installing the new package won't fix your problem: you'll actually have to re-create the google account, in order for this to work. I just created bug 1047191 about that.

[Jan D (jandeyk-gmail)]

Thanks to all for confirming and finding a solution for this bug (so fast)!
Suppose I can mark this bug as fixed WHEN the package "account-plugin-google" is (automatically) upgraded, tested (by removing, then adding the Google account in Online Accounts and publishing to Picasa Web via Shotwell) and working, yes?

Hi Jan, I'm not very expert in how launchpad handles bug either. Usually the bug is set to "released" state when the fix is available, and that's it. If, once the fix is released, you find that the bug is still there, I think you can reopen it by changing its state to "new" again (if it's exactly the same bug -- if the steps to reproduce are somehow different, please file another one).

[Jan D (jandeyk-gmail)]

I'll set it to "Fix Committed" because of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status
Please correct me if I'm wrong about it.

[Jan D (jandeyk-gmail)]

It's working now after an update. (Remember to re-create the google account in "Online Accounts" as Alberto said earlier.)
Thanks!

Reopen bug:

Choosing a picture and trying to "Publish" it to Picasa Web Album returns login failure:

Service https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo returned HTTP status code 401 Unauthorized

If I log out the google account in "Online Accounts" and then I log in it, it doesn't work.
If I delete the google account in "Online Accounts" and then I re-create it, it is OK.

Ubuntu 12.10
Shotwell 0.13.1

Can you try to log in/out/in in "Empathy"? This seams to let me login
via Shotwell afterwards... (Without deleting/recreating the account)
This actually works for me.

Thanks Jan D, it works with your recommendation.

[Jan D (jandeyk-gmail)]

Well, unfortunately that's hardly even a "workaround", -hope this gets fixed soon.

[Jani Monoses (jani)]

This is present in raring.

[Alberto Mardegan (mardy)]

Hi Jani, which version of shotwell are you using?
