Main Gwibber window is blank

[Ketil Wendelbo Aanensen]

Binary package hint: gwibber

On Karmic, the last couple of Gwibber updates has been buggy. I started on alpha6 and Gwibber was fine then. Now, I don't get anything but white colouring in the main window. All notifications still show up in notify-osd, so it's the rendering that's at fault I guess

[Ketil Wendelbo Aanensen (ketilwaa-deactivatedaccount)]

I deleted my Flickr account in Gwibber, and the problem went away instantly. Weird. Does this not happen to anyone else?

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

does it help to use View->Account Tree layout?

also please stop gwibber and killall gwibber-daemon.

then start gwibber-daemon and gwibber from two terminals and reproduce.

attach the output you get after reproducing this.

gwibber:

I can confirm this problem: The output from gwibber-daemon seems normal:

However, the output from the Gwibber client is:

By the way, unlike @Ketil Wendelbo Aanensen I don't have a Flickr account to delete...

I'm having this problem on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty). http://tinypic.com/r/v62bfq/6

Regarding Alexander's question, the View menu doesn't have an Account Tree option.

This is Gwibber 0.8 from the universe repository.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

please try the latest version of gwibber. 0.8 is quite old and then tell us if you still face this.
