Which version of gwibber do you have installed in your system?

[ahmadzxc (ahmad-almomani5)]

gwibber version is 3.1.0 installed in ubuntu 11.04 natty

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

probably this issue is a duplicate of bug 647049

[ahmadzxc (ahmad-almomani5)]

i tried the patch in that bug but didn't work
i don't know why !!

[Fredrik Holmberg (fredrik-holmberg-3ug)]

I had a very similar problem. All notifications worked and the process was on.

In gconf-editor: "apps/gwibber/preferences " I removed the keys:
streams
window_position
window_size
window_splitter

And then i could start it.
Im running ubuntu 11.04, and gnome 2....

This was after trying to remove the program in synaptic and removing the configfiles in ("username"/.config/gwibber/)

ahmadzxc, are you still being affected by this behaviour? I think that you were using gwibber from daily ppa repository right?

[ahmadzxc (ahmad-almomani5)]

same here.. any new?

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

The original reporter said he was running gwibber 3.1.0, which must have come from the daily builds PPA. However, the latest version in that PPA is now 3.1.6+r1180~natty1 which doesn't use any of the code paths mentioned in this bug report. Please ensure you are using the latest version in the PPA. However, I would highly recommend natty users downgrade to the official natty packages.

[adil benseddik (adil-benseddik)]

solved after re-installation of natty..
