http://askubuntu.com – Using Shotwell, I discovered that to publish to Flickr I need to set up an online account. But the online-accounts system settings only has support for Google, Facebook, Windows Live, Microsoft Exchange and Enterprise Login (Kerberos). How do I add account types? These appear to be properly installed (dpkg-reconfigure returns silently): gnome-control-center-signon is already the newest version. account-plugin-yahoo is already the newest version. account-plugin-flickr is already the newest version. Here's the config file (I think): > cat /usr/share/applications/gnome-online-accounts- (HowTos)

Hi,

I wasn't sure where else I could post this... But I'm wondering why the Ubuntu team behind the Online Accounts feature within Ubuntu 12.10 decided to call the plugin Windows Live, not Microsoft Account? Considering that's what Microsoft call the service now?

Thanks

With the new online accounts feature, all my accounts are now centralized. However, it seems there is no way to disable a chat account without disabling this account for everything else on the system.

Hello. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit, and I'm trying to add my Twitter account to the Online Accounts. But when I click the "Add account..." button, nothing happens. No window opens, no error message, nothing.
