Lightread: unable to sync after update

[shankhs]

Hi,
I updated ubuntu today which included an update to Lightread. After the update, I started Lightread and its taking forever to sync without any result.
I am unable to run Lightread from command prompt, so I am not getting any debug message also.
Can anybody please help me to find the solution?

Thanks.

I found the bug in Lightread LP page which documents the same problem that I am having:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightread/+bug/1029999

The bug discussion also mentions a workaround which seems to work for me:

A workarround is "Sign off" your account and then sign in again. Looks hard to reproduce

Hope it helps somebody!

I did have to
1- sing out,
2- sing in,
3- turn the sync when starts off
4- turn the sync when starts on

And it is solved...

I had the sync problem today and this solved the issue. Thanks.

This apparently does not solve the issue if your Google Account has 2-factor authentication enabled. Although you have to sign out and sign in again but you need to re-enroll the application to Google.
