Can't update Lightread

[Niclas Kiefer]

Refresh wheel is still running. It just doesn't stop running. Usually the animation is shown for like 2-3 seconds and Lightread refreshes its articles. But now no articles are updated and the wheel is still moving

Same problem here Ubuntu 12.04 lightread 1.0.20

Running from terminal using -vv switch I got this

$ /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/lightread/bin/lightread -vv

Maybe that last error is the bug. API Change in google reader?

A workarround is "Sign off" your account and then sign in again. Looks hard to reproduce

[Niclas Kiefer (niclas-kiefer)]

Thanks Jorge, your workaround did it for me! I can confirm that.

[ZOkI ZuAn (zoki)]

The fix has been released.
for ubuntu 12.04 go here https://launchpad.net/~cooperjona/+archive/lightread/+build/3694907

[ZOkI ZuAn (zoki)]

after installing sign out then sign in .if then also problem remains comment here.

I updated ubuntu this morning and this bug showed up , the workaround perfectly worked!

[ZOkI ZuAn (zoki)]

no the latest version is still having the bug 1.1.1 sorry but its not fixed.

[Chinmaya Karekar (caprikornus)]

I'm using Lightread v 1.1.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 and the bug is still present.
Lightread can't sync. It was working for me before I updated to current version.

[Billie O'Dwyer (0d-billie)]

Same thing happening to me, though signing out and in again worked. I'd rather not have to do that every time things go wrong...

[tellapu (tellapu)]

The problem occurred only yesterday for me although I have been using Lightread 1.1.1 (Ubuntu 12.04) for a while. Workaround works, though.

This only works when two-factor authentication is not enabled on Google account. I noticed that when you try to open Lightread for a while it takes almost forever to sync the feeds. The only way to update them is to Revoke Access of the application from Google Account 2-Factor Authentication setup and create another then login using the custom password.

I filed a bug report #1034240 but apparently it was marked as Won't Fix.

[Stéphane Guillou (stephane-guillou)]

I have this porblem with Lightread 1.2.2 on Ubuntu 12.10. The workaround worked though.

[Benoît Legat (blegat)]

I have this problem with Lightread 1.2.2 on Ubuntu 13.04 too. The workaround worked too :)
