gwibber-service crashed with DBusException in call_blocking()

[Mahesh Asolkar]

Binary package hint: gwibber

Just installed updates. On starting GNOME desktop, I got this crash. I was also trying to click on 'Chat Accounts...' and 'Broadcast Accounts...' on the 'me' panel applet.

I got this as well, but Apport also notifed me of a crash of Desktopcouch -- which wasn't reported because Firefox was loading with this bug report when Apport tried to send the Desktopcouch one. Nevertheless, Gwibber shouldn't crash when Desktopcouch cannot be found.

This might be related to bug #527520 as they happened at the same time for me.

Also on 10.04 64-bit

^ Yep same here. 64 bit with Desktopcouch crashing as well.

Same Problem in Netbook Edition

This crash starts a cascade of crashes to gwibber-accounts (x2) as well. Reproducible every time broadcast accounts is selected from the memenu.

This is as of post installation updates including evolution/gwibber/ and the .15 kernel update.

I beleive that this bug is caused by bug#521693 once that's fixed this will also be fixed.
