    Question New option 'online accounts'

    Hi, Something new happened today when booting my computer (ubuntu 12.10). The icon top far left showed red, I looked at the options and found a new choice called 'online accounts'. Clicked and a box appeared, I have attached a screenshot here. This from Ubuntu or have I got some kind of trojan.

    Thanks.

    Looks like you have setup an account, which had trouble connecting hence the red icon. Perhaps it tried to connect before the network was up and available.

    Assuming it is your account, press the grant access button to activate.

    I wondered when it said Facebook but I went to Facebook in my Firefox browser and it signed me in automatically same as always so it would seem the system was not quite ready as you say. Main thing is it's from Ubuntu.

    Marking this thread as solved

    Thanks all.
