[Bug 1510176] [NEW] Google Hangouts doesn't work

[kustodian]

Public bug reported:

Today I updated Kubuntu 15.04 to 15.10 and I noticed that Telepathy is
now using a different authentication method for Google Hangouts. Instead
of login with user/pass, Telepathy now opens a web browser so you can
login into your account and give Telepathy login permissions and
whatever it asks.

Everything in the setup goes fine, but when I try to go online, it tries
for a few seconds and than it just stops (no message or anything). Also
in the Telepathy settings Online Accounts -> Google Hangouts, Plasma
crashes.

I noticed this one guy from the Kubuntu forums

Hangouts is having the same exact issue.
