It's very strange.

I can reproduce this bug on kubuntu 9.04

On a free kubuntu 9.04 I've installled gwibber.

I've been confronted with the bug #3366546, after installing python-glade2 to correct the dependancy problem I've been able to launch gwibber -d, everything was fine.

I just have these warnings :

/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/support/facelib.py:47: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import md5
INFO:root:No existing Gwibber session: starting...
console message: @1: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: addMessages

console message: @1: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: addMessages
console message: @22: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: setGtkConfig
console message: @1: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: setAccountConfig

When closing gwibber, I've get this message on the term : "console message: file:///usr/share/gwibber/ui/themes/default/jquery.js @1: SyntaxError: Parse error "

I've never been able to relaunch gwibber -d after that. The gwibber windows pop-up for less than a second and then I've a segmentation violation, which may occurs everywhere between the warning above.

Cheers

Same here on my Ubuntu 9.04 (nvidia driver).
Just after installing it, I tried twice to click on Application > Internet > gwibber, and it didn't launch.
Then, I opened a terminal, and typed :
$ gwibber
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/support/facelib.py:47: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import md5
console message: @1: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: addMessages
Erreur de segmentation

(so, segfault here)
I've then come here, and tried with -d flag :
$ gwibber -d
DEBUG:root:Launched from /usr/bin
DEBUG:root:Assuming path is correct
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/support/facelib.py:47: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead

and here, I had the GUI !
I quitted, and retried :
$ gwibber
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/support/facelib.py:47: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import md5

console message: @22: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: setGtkConfig
console message: @1: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: setAccountConfig

And again, the I had the GUI ...
Now, by clicking on Application > Internet > gwibber, it works ... I didn't reboot since.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

crashes are usually upstream bugs.

[Bryan McLellan (btm)]

Installing all available jaunty updates, then rebooting resolved this issue for me.

[Dan (orblivion)]

I just installed Xubuntu Jaunty, did all my updates, and then installed Gwibber from the regular repos, and still get this error. Though running it enough times it suddenly started working (without the -d option). But I still get the errors mentioned above.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

we are wondering if this is still an issue for you. Please update your gwibber to the latest version and check if this is still an issue for you. Thanks

[Anthony O. (netangel+launchpad)]

I'm now on Ubuntu 9.10 and I don't have this issue anymore.

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

Well, according to @netangel last message and the original reported is gone I will mark this as fixed. Thanks!
