Facebook plugin is unable to get list of albums and always uploads to the same pre-existing album

[Joseph Wakeling]

Binary package hint: kipi-plugins

I'm running Kubuntu 10.10, and kipi-plugins is version 1.4.0-0ubuntu2.

A first upload to Facebook using kipi-plugins and the <auto-create> option was successful. However, the drop-down list of albums remains empty (except for the <auto-create> option), despite attempts to refresh it, and any further attempts to upload photos merely result in them being added to the first album kipi-plugins created, not any subsequent new album I try and create.

This bug is registered in the KDE bugtracker: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=225174 I'm reporting it here simply to ensure that it's recognized as present in (K)ubuntu 10.10.

Any update made to Kubuntu yet? The bug is listed as fixed in KDE bugtracker ...

You should add the extra ppa from Philip and upgrade to kipi-plugins 1.9.0

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:philip5/extra

then create and add to /etc/apt/preferences.d/philip5-extra-ppa:
Package: *
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-philip5-extra
Pin-Priority: 400

Now, upgrade:
sudo apt-get install kipi-plugins=1.9.0-maverick~ppa1 kipi-plugins-common=1.9.0-maverick~ppa1

Issue is now solved!

Cannot speak for the PPA you refer to, but the issue is still present in 11.04 which has kipi-plugins 1.9.0 included (1.9.0-1ubuntu2).
