Bug Description
Binary package hint: gwibber
According to bug 530195 the problems in Gwibber should have been fixed in 2.30.1, but no such luck. Both the Facebook and Twitter support are broken, rendering Gwibber useless for me.
I just upgraded from Karmic to Lucid. I now have Gwibber 2.30.1 running on my system, and things have gone from bad to worse. Whereas previously it was just Facebook that was working only sporadically, Twitter has now stopped working for me as well.
I had a Flickr account, a Facebook account and a Twitter account configured in Gwibber, yet the Message screen remains completely empty. No Twitter or Facebook messages are displayed, even after manually selecting Refresh. On the Home screen the only things that are displayed are Flickr photos, and Twitter messages that are @directed at me.
I've attached a log file of a gwibber -d run. As you can see it complains that the com.Gwibber.
I have already tried deleting every Gwibber-related settings directory and cache directory I could find, but none of it made any difference. I also tried removing and re-adding my accounts (during which I discovered that it is actually impossible to add a Facebook account anymore! I'll file a separate bug for that), but that made no difference either.
