Hi,
I tried adding google account to Online Account, however I encountered this error described in here:
So I tried the workaround solution, however, when logged in as root, I still cannot overwrite the file:
/usr/share/accounts/providers/kde/google.provider
Please help.
Thank you
I tried sudo mount /usr -o remount,rw
and can edit and save the file, however, I still cannot log in to google account, so the workaround did not apply for me.
Please see this comment from the thread that you linked, it should provide you with a proper solution. (In short, you can override the file at ~/.local/share/accounts/providers/google.provider).
Also, be aware to replace the whole file with the provided one (in this message), and not just the client-id and secret, because there are other changes too.
oh, thank you so much etvt, I will try this again tonight and report back
