After upgrading to 8 from KDE access to gdrive is impossible, I removed my old links that seemed to be not accessible and tried to add them again, the login page is not shown any more, but what is worse is that from account there is no google account anymore see attached pitcture.

Is this caulron or Mageia 8 (as indicated in the version above)? For 8, is kio-gdrive installed? I haven't installed cauldron on any of my systems yet.

Mageia 8 as indicated. I didn't try on cauldron. and yes, kio-gdrive is installed. rpm -qa | grep gdrive kio-gdrive-handbook-20.12.0-1.mga8 kio-gdrive-20.12.0-1.mga8

Not having used google drive before, In dolphin, selecting "remote" from the Networks part of the Places menu, selecting the Google Drive icon, selecting the "+ Add new account..." button, selecting Google, the attached error message is displayed with the text "There was an error while trying to process the requres: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying".
On another install I have that doesn't have my personal customizations, the Google Drive icon doesn't appear among the options. In that install I selected the Generic instead, and the same error message as per comment 4 appeared.

Some web search results indicate this may be due to security changes at google that only allow access through a browser that's logged into google.
well as far as i remember when google account was selected a window asking for logging in google account was presented.
Changes were made in September https://support.google.com/drive/answer/10729743?hl=en I'm not sure if that's the cause of the problems though.

Thanks. Hopefully someone on our kde team will be able to figure out what's different on Mageia.
I found a part of this issue, not the solution yet. Seems that updating the system kaccounts-providers has not been installed. I added it and now google is offered when i try to add a new account, but still fail unfortunately.
We stopped supporting Mageia 8 almost 8 months ago https://blog.mageia.org/en/2023/12/30/mageia-8-end-of-life/ That means we also stopped fixing Mageia 8 bugs and that this bug report needs to be closed, regardless of whether it was fixed for Mageia 8 or not. If this particular bug did not get fixed for Mageia 8, then we do regret that. If this issue is still present in Mageia 9 or cauldron, then please reopen this report, write a comment and adjust the "Version:" field. If you are not yet a member of one or our teams, then please consider becoming one. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Contributing Mageia is a community project, meaning that we, the users, make Mageia together. The more active contributors we have, the more bug reports will get fixed. Besides, being active in a team can be very rewarding. It was and is certainly rewarding to me :-D
