I am using Ubuntu 18.04 with Unity 7.

Screenshot of problem

When I entered the credentials as shown in screenshot in settings (unity-control-center) and pressed enter, nothing happens. Is it related to missing of some gnome packages? I tried installing gnome-control-center and adding account from there, still no luck. I have gnome-online-accounts package installed. Is there something I am missing?

EDIT:

The problem seems to be with the UI. I tried doing the same thing with gnome-control-center, but still there is not button. Pressing enter does not work either

At the moment setting up the SSO online account is broken in an unity session, the connect button to finish the set up doesn't appear.

As a workaround if the default ubuntu session is still installed one can log into that session, set up the SSO online account there. After returning to the preferred unity session you'll find it enabled.

If a fix arises word of it should appear in this thread below linked comment https://community.ubuntu.com/t/testing-unity-session-in-18-04/987/156

If you just want to add some online accounts you can add it by this

$ export GTK_CSD=1
$ unity-control-center

Then do it normal. It's a bug from gnome-online-accounts, just wait it fixed.

  • Thanks for letting me know. I managed to solve the problem then by using GNOME shell. But now I can connect to SSO without enabling CSD, I think it is fixed now, even though the bug report doesn't mark it as solved. May 19, 2019 at 4:42
