Twitter auth does not work. API Change.

[Philipp Hügelmeyer]

[Impact]
Gwibber's support for Twitter is completely broken because Twitter retired v1 API support.

[Test Case]
- Open Gwibber,
- Add a twitter account
- make sure that some messages appear.

[Regression Potential]
None, Gwibber is just broken without this fix.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

See comments 6 and 7 at duplicate 1190575 for a workaround.

Either I made some silly mistake, or the workarounds described in bug 1190575 do not work for me (1190575 discussed this for Quantal, I am on Precise).

Workaround work fine for me on Precise.

The gwibber package 3.4.2-0ubuntu2.3 on Ubuntu Precise works successfully.
I tested account setup with authorization and receiving tweets, both of which were not working before.
I did not test other actions such as writing a tweet.

This bug was fixed in the package gwibber - 3.4.2-0ubuntu2.3

Doesn't work for me.

[Enrico Rosina (e-rosina)]

Hello all,

Thank you for the fix, you are smart people!

A few days ago I received an automatic update and I was finally able to create an account in gwibber.
This is my configuration:

Ubuntu 12.04 (precise)
3.2.0-49-generic
Gwibber 3.4.2

Best regards
Enrico

This works for me now. At least receiving tweets is working. Also on 12.04 with gwibber 3.4.2.
tyvm!
