Publishing to flickr broken since api.flickr went https-only

I reported this upstream (gnome) and attached a patch there. I think (but I'm not 100% sure) that is the best way to handle this.

This is fixed upstream in master.

This bug was fixed in the package shotwell - 0.18.0-0ubuntu8

uploaded as a trusty SRU as well, testing of the utopic version to confirm it works would be welcome though

This problem also occurs on Shotwell 0.12 on Ubuntu 12.04.

When fix will be released for 14.04?

When the fix is confirmed to be working on the current package uploaded to utopic

Sebastien, I've tested this on Utopic and it works fine.

Working for me also:

thanks!

Jim, Andrew, thanks for testing, I've uploaded the SRU to the trusty queue, it just needs to be reviewed/accepted now

Is the version in theYorba PPA fixed? If so, that may be a good interim solution.

Hello Simon, or anyone else affected,

Accepted shotwell into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/0.18.0-0ubuntu4.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Sorry for the novice question, but does this mean the fix will ever be available for ubuntu 11.10 - or should I upgrade to 12.04? I looked at the enable proposed information above, and it explicitly talks about 12.04...

Thanks.

After sudo apt-get install shotwell/trusty-proposed I go to File > Publish ... and the only option is Piwigo.

Add more accounts says there are no providers ...

Edit > Preferences > Plugins lists Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, and Piwigo as checked under Publishing.

Something here is amiss ...

@Paul Rule: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2013-May/000174.html

Utopic has shotwell 0.18.1, which has the flickr https fix, with a few other fixes as well.

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/shotwell-list/2014-July/msg00000.html

Presumably it might make sense to backport 0.18.1 to Trusty.

@Danny you're still using 0.18.0 which does not have the Flickr fix. You'll need to upgrade to 0.18.1 for it. I don't know if Ubuntu plans on backporting the fix to Trusty but a version for 14.04 is available at Yorba's PPA, https://launchpad.net/~yorba/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

I suspect your issue with accounts has something to do with Ubuntu Online Accounts, not Shotwell. Note that the version on our PPA does not use UOA.

The PPA Jim pointed out works a champ for uploading to Flickr. Importing is still broken, but at least this new version doesn't simply freeze up. Way more stable than the default branch. -danny

What version are you using?

There is a SRU in trusty-proposed for this issue, see comment #12, it just needs to be validated/have somebody confirming the fix is working so it can move to -updates and be available for all users.

If anyone is using flickr it would be nice to test that version

The version in trusty-proposed fixes the issue. I was able to publish to Flickr.

Thanks for testing, setting to verification-done
