First of all, this problem also happens with the previous version. It's probably related to the last udev upgrade (see below why). Ok, the music manager was working fine for month, but one and a half weeks ago, it started querying me for my google password again. When I type it in, the next screen wants a verification code generated by my Android Authenticator app. So I type in current verification number and press Ok, but I get the error message: Login failed Could not identify your computer. Learn more [Retry] By pressing Retry, I can do the same procedure unsuccessfully again. Pressing the "Learn more" link brings me to this google help page: http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1308383&rd=1 That page explains that Google Music won't connect from virtual machines. But I don't use a virtual machine. It goes on explaining If you're certain that you don't have a virtual machine, some users have reported that they were able to workaround the issue by disabling their network bridge. Huh? Now that reminds me on some recent message in "eselect news", namely "2013-01-23 Upgrading udev from 171 (or older) to 197". Since then, my network devices don't have their good old eth0 and wlan0 names anymore, but: enp0s25: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:21:86:52:b0:a9 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX

I remember reading about this issue in Kay Sievers' blog. You will need to create a dummy/virtual eth* network interface.
I've contacted google about that issue (only automated response so far). I guess as soon as udev-197 becomes more common, they can't simply keep hardcoding "ethX".
For all of you that have just one ethernet and one wlan device in their computer (which is probably 95%), one can disable the new predictive names using: % ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules Thereafter, the devices are named eth0 and wlan0 again.
I added a warning about this issue, but otherwise there is nothing I can do. Let's see what the next version brings.

Let's wait for the next version, many other distributions have exactly the same problem.
