Prologue

Today I messed up with the permissions at my home folder, so after a struggle time I finally was able to enter in TTY2 and set all my home folder with permissions 766. However I don't know if all my files, folders and hidden stuff had this permission, but still, now my desktop is mostly working.

Actual issue

Now, with mostly correct permissions, I found that my Google Account synced wasn't retrieving any data, so I removed my account from Gnome Online Accounts and tried to login again.

Well, it does not work as intended anymore. The popup shows asking for the username and after asking for the password. After I enter the password, it keeps loading forever never asking me for allow granting Gnome permissions. Interestingly, if I type the password wrong, it recognizes that's wrong and gives me a error message. This bug only happens when I type the correct username and password.

Even more interesting, is that if I try to connect any other Google account, it does work!

What I tried

• Reboot my laptop
• Remove the folders ~/.config/goa-1.0, ~/.cache/gnome-control-center-goa-helper and ~/.local/share/gnome-control-center-goa-helper
• Restore the correct permissions to ~/.gnupg to 600
• Creating a new user (I wasn't able to login as well)
• Deleting app permission for Gnome on Google Manage Account
• Tried to pacman -S gnutls, pacman -S gnome-online-accounts and pacman -S gvfs-goa

I'm hopeless. I don't know what else to try. I need this account connected to my Gnome Online Accounts cause it makes part of my workflow.

Is there any other configuration file I missed? Is there any other database I missed? Any ideia how to solve it?

Thank you in advance, guys

Solution

Turns out that Google's new 2FA method was not allowing me to proceed with verification. I turned off 2FA, >login in the Gnome Accounts and then turn back on the 2FA
