Bug Description
Ubuntu 13.04
Over the month I've been annoyed by Chrome popping up blank tabs, seemingly randomly. At first I blamed Unity and even discussed it with the team, but an answer to my question on AskUbuntu.com gave me a clue. When I have accounts that need to be granted permission, I get random chrome tabs popping up. Once all accounts are re-granted access, I no longer have the problem. The issue occurs when I use the dash and at other (seemingly random) times. I cannot repro this in the 5 minutes I tried by disabling accounts, they need to be ungranted or expired (sorry I don't know the right term). I can repro by rebooting the system. I have the following online accounts enabled:
Twitter
Google
Fitbit
SIP
This bug is pretty annoying and I'm willing to help debug and/or test code. I don't know exactly what packages this is coming from, but I can get version into on any you need.
Hi Matthew, thanks for reporting this. This behaviour is indeed caused by OnlineAccounts, though it's of course not the expected behaviour. :-)
When you can reproduce the bug again, can you please issuing the following commands from a terminal:
killall signon-ui TIMEOUT= 300 LEVEL=2
export SSOUI_DAEMON_
export SSOUI_LOGGING_
signon-ui > signonui.log
Then type something in the dash (in order to trigger the bug) and then attach the signonui.log file to this bug report? Please mangle any passwords or tokens that you see in the log.
