online accounts integration with fb isn't working

[Lars Martin Hambro]

* Impact

The online accounts setting are proposing a facebook item which isn't working

* Test case

Go to settings -> online account, browse the accounts option proposed, facebook shouldn't be in the list since it doesn't work.

* Regression potential

The change is to disable the facebook provider using the upstream provided build option. Check that facebook isn't listed anymore but that the other providers still are. Since it's a build option change it could fail to build so check for that as well on launchpad.

Since the facebook service currently doesn't consider gnome-online-accounts as a valid client there should be no user with that provider configured. Even if there were since the service isn't working they would see a functional regression.

Hi i tryed to use gnome-control-center online-accounts to make easy like windows 10 to login to email or add other login so its more easy with ID to use pincode or other ID fingerprint and other.

But its look its much issue compared with windows 10 with thunderbird, firefox, and other program.

Worst is facebook only little windows with issue with login?

[Lars Martin Hambro (lars-martin4)]

Its isssue with Facebook as picture show, but other like ubuntu\hotmail or google email works to login but not did not help much to use thunderbird or firefox\chrome to make its more easy to login without less safety issue.

Thank you for your bug report, the facebook issue is known and reported upstream on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/-/issues/128

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the fact that thunderbird isn't integrated with the GNOME online accounts is a known issue and a thunderbird missing feature

[Lars Martin Hambro (lars-martin4)]

sorry i can not find gnome-online-accounts - 3.38.1-1ubuntu2 packages so please tell how to add it with apt-get?

[Lars Martin Hambro (lars-martin4)]

Why is disable the facebook provider since it's current not working? its because facebook did not want to use it on linux or safety issue?

Because android and windows 10 support instgram and facebook apps?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

> its because facebook did not want to use it on linux or safety issue?

no, it's the code in gnome-online-accounts which isn't properly maintained upstream at the moment, they would need to do changes to the code and follow the registration process for the service

Ideally that would be fixed and enabled, but until that happens it's less misleading to not propose the option than to have one that isn't working

[Lars Martin Hambro (lars-martin4)]

But can you confirm:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:folke-schwinning/personal
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install desktop-facebook

 sudo apt install npm nodejs-legacy git

https://snapcraft.io/install/facebook-webapp/ubuntu

Its this safe as worksaground or may is get safety issue?
I want replacement for linux, because windows 10 android works with facebook but did no know how becauce is hard to get to works with wine HQ or other software?

Because i did not know if APT get or other repo is protected other than wrong repo to old config, because some software may be maded only because developer get money for works with other company that get money on password leaks or other. Not sure if some of apps if safe because it can come software bugs to safety also.

Or is snap\apt-get safe with install apps?
