This happens from a fresh install of Lucid (Home) but not an upgrade from Karmic (work)

[Andy Loughran (andylockran)]

I updated from karmic (netbook) and it's happened to me.

[arky (arky)]

Thanks for bug reports, changing the status to confirmed. Gwibber (2.29.91~bzr621-0ubuntu1~daily1) is right now unusable.

[papukaija (papukaija)]

This bug happened for me at the same time than bug 527520.

[papukaija (papukaija)]

This might also be related to bug 519557.

[Semih Yildirim (semih44)]

the same problem with lucid-desktop-amd64

[Martin Albisetti (beuno)]

I got this crash right after the crash in: 519444

[Stephan Peijnik (speijnik)]

I can confirm this problem on lucid-desktop-amd64 too.

I am testing Gwibber also on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 a3.
I noted that the crash continuosly occurs when starting Gwibber from the application menu; but if Administration->Gwibber Social Settings is launched first, then the Apply button is pressed, then Gwibber properly starts.

I hope this could help developers.

I cannot replicate this behavior; when I attempt to load the Gwibber
Social Settings, I get a crash stating that "Sorry, the program
'gwibber-preferences' closed unexpectedly". So I can't even get to the
point of clicking it's Apply button and then loading Gwibber normally.

Hello, I don't know if it's the same bug, but gwibber ceased to work after 9.10 -> 10.04 online upgrade.

I am now running stable Lucid Lynx, after official release (all updates to May 6th, 2010).

When I try to launch gwibber from the menu (or upper-right menu), nothing happens.

If I open a terminal and type "gwibber", here is what I get:

rsandu@richelieu:~$ gwibber

Would you please look into it ?
