where is online accounts ?

[oshunluvr]

No deb package there yet. It should come out soon I think.

[oshunluvr]

Best advice I can give you is go and file a bug. This is a user forum not a developer forum and others have posted this complaint.

For what it's worth, KDEneon is using systemsettings 4:6.2.5 from 24.04 and Online Accounts is present. It looks like the 24.10 package is systemsettings 4:6.1.5-0ubuntu2.

I assume you'll get an update before long where it will reappear.

It seems the package is available here

Let me test it in a VM before anyone tries it out.

I have exactly the same problem and would be happy if it could be solved.

I also have a similar problem. I have kaccounts-integration, kaccounts-providers and kio-gdrive installed but Online Accounts are not shown in System Settings at all (in Networking section there is only Wi-Fi & Internet). In Dolphin in Network tab there is Google Drive icon but when I click it there is "Invalid protocol 'gdrive'" error message. Is there something I can do to make it work?

[gloonie]

Here as well. Kubuntu running 24.10 and no Online Accounts. Is anyone working on this?

[Princey]

I've upgraded to 24.10 and like the original poster indicated, the "online accounts" item/section isn't available or just completely absent from the settings control panel. So even if you install kio-gdrive, it will just show it in network folders but there's no way to connect to any online accounts whether it's gdrive or next cloud or any other cloud storage. Tried to connect to Box.com which is one of my cloud accounts I use for collaboration and I'm forced to use my browser as, I said earlier, the 'ONLINE ACCOUNTS' section is completely missing in 24.10. Is there a way to fix it?

Maybe it is the Nextcloud config?

Here is mine, a bone stock Nexcloud-AIO I spun up. This is what I have on my mothballed NAS.
This is from the current kaccounts tool, in KDE neon here:




I have not yet found much mention of how/why the Online Accounts tool is missing in Kubuntu24.10/plasma 6.1, but many of the bits for it seem to be there. Maybe I can poke acheron and get his input.

[uytVmJQP5wMO]

Yup, sorry. Too much multitasking, and its hot. I though I was in a KDE neon thread .

haha, no worries

...just spun one up on Linode. Will check it out once I am in an Kubuntu 24.10 setting.
Adding the account worked just fine for me on KDE neon just now. There was a native login box, same as recall it being on Plasma 5 when I first set it up on the NAS.

I just spun up a KDE neon Testing VM to try it out: For me, the Nextcloud login via Online Accounts is still broken. I cannot get beyond that page. clicking the buttton has no effect at all :/
And I don't have any native login box. Online Accounts just opens the provided URL...



Here the OwnCloud login process. I once again used my Nextcloud login for that.



On the next screen, I can select the WebDAV/Storage integration, CalDAV/CardDAV are missing, as already mentioned above:

My NAS with Nextcloud is still mothballed, waiting for the money to be shipped, so I can't test this yet unless I set up something somewhere.

Thanks for your reply

Yes, Google is being Google a bit.
The old issue was a broken/old signond, but that was fixed already.

I am not talking about Google, I never tried to add a Google account.
I was trying to add a Nextcloud Account. And unlike Adding an OwnCloud account, there is no such native login form inside Online Accounts-App. Instead, this login flow gets initiated: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/la...low/index.html
But as mentioned in my last post, this login flow doesn't work

I was also trying to add my Nextcloud credentials with the OwnCloud implementation. And it kind-of worked: At least the WebDAV part was recognized and added. CardDAV/CalDAV were not recognized.
But looking into the - I suppose - related code parts, CardDAV/CalDAV might be also broken for OwnCloud:
https://invent.kde.org/network/kacco...controller.cpp

For both CardDAV and CalDAV, the base URL should begin with

/remote.php/dav/​

the base URL from Kaccounts seems to be

/remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/​

I cannot find any reference for CalDAV.
https://www.davx5.com/tested-with/owncloud
https://doc.owncloud.com/webui/next/.../sync_ios.html

WebDAV seem to be correct:
Both Kaccounts and the documentation I could find are referencing

/remote.php/webdav​

as base URL.
https://www.davx5.com/tested-with/owncloud

The same goes for Nextcloud:
For CardDAV and CalDAV, the base URL is

/remote.php/dav​

For WebDAV, the base URL is

/remote.php/webdav​

https://www.davx5.com/tested-with/nextcloud

If my assumption is correct, CardDAV/CalDAV is also broken for OwnCloud. Fixing this wouldn't be that difficult I suppose?
And since both OwnCloud/Nextcloud behave similar, why not use the code from OwnCloud to get Nextcloud back to a working state?

It isn't just kio-gdrive, or Kubuntu

No one knows why Gnome's authentication is OK (probably including Gnome) but they are looking at it.

There are some workarounds, the easiest is to steal use Gnome's client id and auth info:
https://discuss.kde.org/t/kde-online...1/51?u=claydoh

My earlier successes may stem from the fact that I have had a auth id from using rclone when setting that up on my NAS, and may have added it to my desktop, which I have since wiped and done a clean install, thus having a broken gdrive.

Those some are folks running Plasma 6.2 on KDE neon, we sort of butted in on this thread, lol

I just tried KDE neon User Edition (20241201-0744) & Testing Edition (20241203-0033): With both versions, Online Accounts is still super broken when trying to synchronize with a Nextcloud instance: I am redirected to the login interface, but neither the button to submit an app-specific password, nor the button for the automatic login flow work.
Unlike the ownCloud integration, there is no way to enter the (app-specific) login credentials within the online account interface. On other distros - e.g. Linux Mint Cinnamon and (AFAIK) Ubuntu GNOME - there is a standardized login form that actually works.
Here is a screenshot from Linux Mint:

I got excited that I read it's working for some

And...

It's now working again for me..

I've only got 4.5Gb of space left though in my Google account and I don't fancy paying
them 2,500 yen per year for 100Gb of storage!

I got excited that I read it's working for some so I tried today. Kept saying "loading for 2 minutes so I deleted the account and re-added it. The amount of options when re-adding the account had increased so I was happily expecting results with fingers crossed. Twelve (12) minutes later, it's still "loading". I'm guessing it works for some, not the others. Running 24.04 by the way with all the latest updates.
