Login to Flickr using Google ID

[Mark Bennison]

I login to Flickr via my Google account. When I try to connect through the online accounts the only option I have is to use a Yahoo! ID, which I don't have. The login should allow all valid Flickr sign in methods.

(Ubuntu 13.04 64bit, Friends version 0.1.3daily13.04.17.1~13.04-0ubuntu1)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

I have the same problem.
Note: in the past there was a workaround for this, see lp:1041744, now there is not even that.

Also facing this problem. Any progress on this?

I managed to get correct login page (with Google and Facebook as login options). I achieved this by changing endpoint URLs in /usr/share/accounts/providers/flickr.provider from "secure.flickr.com" to "www.flickr.com" (changed only host part, the rest stayed the same).

When I clicked Google login link nothing happened. It seems like that internal browser does not support popup windows or something like this. Is there any way to use external (system default?) web browser to perform authorization?

Attaching screenshot and modified version of flickr.provider file.

This should be obsolete as Flickr stops login with Google and Facebook accounts. -> http://guardianlv.com/2014/06/flickr-says-no-more-sign-in-with-facebook-and-google/

Well as Flickr are stopping login via anything other than a yahoo account
this is now moot and perhaps the bug can be closed?

Cheers,
