Comment 1 for bug 600228

Same here, using Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS x64 on an Intel Core i3 processor and NVIDIA GeForce 310M video. Previously I'm also experiencing problems adding a Facebook account in Gwibber where the Add button does not appear. However, after several tries and doing all sorts of things, I can connect now, but my posts and replies aren't being updated in Facebook.
