Please can you remove your directories (backup if you want it) ".config/gwibber" & ".cache/gwibber" and then try to start gwibber-service again, this should works for you.

[Greg A (etulfetulf)]

This just happened to me (launching Gwibber for the first time, through the Me Menu).

Removing those two directories caused the same error to appear.

[Tim Casey (tjcasey)]

I also tried removing those directories.

No change, still getting crash message.

[Vince Marsters (vincemarsters)]

I am getting similar in Natty Beta 1 x64 running Gwibber 2.91.93-0ubuntu1.
I have removed the config and cache directories but still get the same error.

[Elias K Gardner (zorkerz)]

I got this error 3 maybe 4 times then after a restart I was able to setup my accounts without the crash.

[Giuseppe Terrasi (giuseppeterrasi-deactivatedaccount)]

I can confirm on natty beta 2.

Also, I have try to remove .config/gwibber" & ".cache/gwibber.

If I start directly gwibber he work fine and I can configure my account.

[Łukasz Jernaś (deejay1)]

This has just happened to me on Beta2 with a clean install after clicking "setup broadcast account".

[Giuseppe Terrasi (giuseppeterrasi-deactivatedaccount)]

This bug seems as been solved now.

Now, I'm on

apt-cache show gwibber
Version: 3.0.0.1-0ubuntu2

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

There's no more info on this since a few months, is anybody still getting the problem? Please comment back so we can move the bug to another state or just close it as fixed, thanks all!.

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

After upgrade my Natty system to Oneiric I got this crash the first time that I ran gwibber

[TommyBoy (thomaslloyd)]

Same as Kamus

[Bilal Shahid (s9iper1)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better,
this should be fixed in the upcoming 3.3.4 release.
