It's running fine on my desktop Intrepid machine. But my Eee with 8.04 won't start Gwibber, it only says "Segmentation fault" in the terminal.
That's bad, because yesterday I recommended Gwibber to someone via twitter, but he also only got this error - and won't bother again with this nice program :-(.
I get the same simple "Segmentation fault" as Wes on my up to date 8.04 machine. A windows comes up and closes so fast I can barely see it. Also, I get an icon briefly in AWN, then it goes away.
There is one solution given: "You can either downgrade the package via Synaptic: Select libwebkit-1.0-1 and go to Package | Force Version.... Select the version from either intrepid-updates or intrepid (depending on which repositories you have enabled)."
I have done that and restarted Gwibber - and everything was fine.
Unfortunately, that does not work for someone running Hardy. As far as I know, it is also very unwise to add Intrepid repos to Hardy. I'm going to check in the irc channel and see if anyone has any ideas.
I have upgraded to the new version and the PPA -- am on Hardy. This has fixed the segfault when gWibber starts so it starts fine. Could add my twitter account but the display window does not update .. it stays blank.
I however do get the notifications in the Panel when new tweets arrive.
Same here on Ubuntu 8.04.1.
