Thanks for the report, is this still an issue with latest Gwibber on Lucid?

On my freshly upgraded system (from Karmic) I could not launch gwibber.

Typing gwibber at the command line showed me:
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/XXXX/.cache/gwibber'

I don't know how, or for how long the ownership of my .cache was wrong,
but now that I've fixed it I can launch gwibber.

could you paste the output of 'ls -las /home/user/.cache/gwibber' ? did you run gwibber as a root? if so that's probably why you're having permissions issues there.

@yocmoi82, any news about this issue? have you tried to run latest command that pedro told you (running latest gwibber release)? Thanks!
