Confirming with Lucid netbook-remix alhpha3.

[dfsdfsfsfsfsdddd (fuhwiuhdfsiuehfdis-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Still happens to me in Alpha 3. :(

[scottuss (scottuss)]

This occurs when trying to open Gwibber Account Settings from System>Preferences>Gwibber Social Settings / Account Settings and also when clicking Broadcast Accounts from the "Social Menu"

[hawk (rudidu)]

Occurs regardless of where I run Gwibber from.

Terminal, panel applet or menu's. Same result. Gwibber fails to load, with it crashing.

[Denis.K (dkorkut)]

Also happens when you go to Broadcast Accounts in the status menu.
{on: eee 1005ha, netbook}

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Can any one please confirm if they face this issue with gwibber 2.29.92

[Denis.K (dkorkut)]

Is the Alpha 3 Image updated with gwibber 2.29.92?

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

@Denis, alpha 3 dont have the latest gwibber but you can get to the latest
gwibber by doing sudo apt-get update ;sudo apt-get upgrade and please do
note that it dont ask you to remove anything during the process

@Omer, oh I forgot your could update stuff while you're on it live.. I won't be able to test it out until next weekend, do you still want me to try it out? (unless someone else confirms)

[Denis.K (dkorkut)]

@Omer, Oh nevermind, Beta 1 comes out on Thursday..

[juvenal (juvenalmena)]

well, i will test update before download beta 1.

[Pedro Côrte-Real (pedrocr)]

I'm running an up-to-date lucid and can seem to run it just fine. I did have the issue the first time I installed lucid. I'm not sure this is because the issue is fixed or just because I have since been able to configure some accounts.

Was the crash only happening if there were no accounts configured? If yes, how do I delete the config to try from scratch?

[Gary M (garym)]

Crash with same traceback still occurs with gwibber version 2.29.92.1-0ubuntu1 (lucid alpha3 netbook-i386 live CD + updates to gwibber & gwibber-service).

Same result after updating desktopcouch to version 0.6.3-0ubuntu1.

Method was to select "Broadcast Accounts..." from panel's user menu, as the first use of gwibber.

Will try with beta1 live CD later today.

[Gary M (garym)]

gwibber-accounts crashed with a different error using lucid beta 1 netbook liveCD. Reported as bug #543110.

[Denis.K (dkorkut)]

@Gary: Did not crash for me, even without additional updates to beta1. tried the gwibber items in MeMenu, and the messaging menu etc...still did not crash.

Just wanted to put that out there.

[Commander1024 (commander-commander1024)]

This happened to me the first time after a long time it worked perfectly for me, I resolved it locally by killing "gwibber-service" and "gwibber" from shell (with user rights). After that it started again as I was used to. Reboot therefore should have helped, too

[paul (imtheluckyone)]

This always happens to me, not matter what i use to start gwibber. I currently have 2.30.0.1 installed.

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

@Egon, Please could you run under latest version of gwibber: gwibber --debug > gwibber-debug.txt and attach resulted output of this file to your report (following your steps to reproduce this issue), Thanks!

[Egon Elbre (egon-elbre)]

@Kasmus

Version 2.30.0.1 doesn't crash anymore.

[Egon Elbre (egon-elbre)]

@Paul, Could you try the gwibber --debug > gwibber-debug.txt . I'm not able to reproduce the issue.

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

@Egon, I will closed this report because according to your last message this issue is not reproducible any more but if you encounter that this issue reappear please reopened again, Thanks.
