[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

I tried to reproduce this issue in a fully updated Lucid with gwibber 2.29.90-1 but works fine for me. Please could you try to reproduce this issue in latest version of gwibber included in Lucid? Thanks!

[Oded Arbel (oded-geek)]

I just had this crash on a Lucid Alpha 3

[Vish (vish)]

I'm no longer facing this bug. IMO , It can be marked as fixed.

However , since the earlier comment 3 mentions the crash still happening. I'm setting this to new.

[Haggai Eran (haggai-eran)]

I just had this crash on an updated lucid. (gwibber version 2.29.90.1-0ubuntu2).
I got the error when network manager was still connecting to the network.

[Benjamin Humphrey (humphreybc)]

Same problem here.

[Lazaro Alejo (habanany)]

No se .

[Guillaume Pascal (guigui14100-deactivatedaccount)]

Same problem when emerging from hibernation

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

Please could you upgrade to latest version of gwibber (2.29.92) and check if this problem is still affecting you? Thanks!

[Vish (vish)]

Seems to be working fine with latest gwibber, Gwibber 2.29.92.1
If anyone is noticing the bug , do report back .

[Stephen Monteith (stephen-monteith)]

I can't report what caused this error, the apport message was on my screen when I returned from work.

[Alwin Garside (yogarine)]

Just also got this while starting up Gwibber 2.29.92.1-0ubuntu1

[Andrew Toogood (andrew-toogoods)]

I also got this issue just done update before hand

[taz (mxonetaz)]

I have this problem when waking the computer from stand-by

[Tenoch (mignonmexicain)]

I send the computer to hibernate then when i woke up the computer the crashed happened.

[Dave-B (david-balch)]

I have gwibber-service 2.29.92.1-0ubuntu1, and noticed the apport icon, so submitted the report.

[Sjors Gielen (sgielen)]

Same thing happened here: I returned from hibernation on a fully updated Ubuntu Lucid on MacBook Pro, and I got a popup that Gwibber had crashed.

[Jonathan Rothwell (jrothwell97)]

Also getting this on 2.29.92-1, both gwibber-service and gwibber itself are broken and won't start up without crashing.

[ablack (blackhand08)]

After hibernating the program crashes every time i launch it.

[José A. Muñiz (josemuniznyc)]

Same problem when emerging from hibernation. Every... Single... Time...

[José A. Muñiz (josemuniznyc)]

Crap. I hit post before finishing! That should teach me about being snarky.

I'm on 2.29.92.1 and get a crash on gwibber after every hibernation and most sleeps. Also after closing the program, I often (maybe a tad more than 50% of the time) get a crash upon restarting the program from the Apps menu.

[Vish (vish)]

Unassigning Raphael as it seems like an accidental assign.

Confirming from the several "me too" replies.

[Dan Dart (dandart)]

Yep, AppArmor update time for me too.

[kushalhada (kushalhada)]

Ubuntu Software Center froze and I chose to wait just before Gwibber crashed with this error message for me a few minutes ago.

[Matthew Horr (matthorr)]

This happens to me when waking from suspend (Lucid and gwibber 2.29.92.2-0ubuntu1) on MacBook Pro 1,1. I am unable to restart gwibber after the crash.

[Mynk (mr-mynk)]

I had hibernated the laptop with the gwibber window up. When I switched on the laptop I got the message. This should be the latest version of gwibber.

[Josh Anders (cybiko123)]

Crashed when switching from wlan0 to eth0.

[has (henrik-a-schultz)]

This bug appears when coming out of suspend.
Maybe connected to the issues I'm having with the network manager / wifi - internet sometimes is unreachable.

[Рустам Second_Fry Губайдуллин (secondfry)]

#28, yeap. Just happened to me too.

[Les Pounder (lespounder)]

Also happens with AMD64 (64bit) version of Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1

[kikl (kilian-klaiber)]

Same problem when emerging from hibernation

[Shwan (shwan-ciyako)]

same here , "This bug appears when coming out of suspend."

[Alvaro Gil (alvaro-alvarogil)]

Same. When coming out of standby mode

Crash occured on resuming the session (after suspending for 1 hour).

Up-to-date Lucid beta1 - amd64.

[Tim Medcalf (tim-medcalf)]

Same here. Resuming from hibernate consistently results in Gwibber crash alert.

Dell Studio XPS 16
2.6.32-18-generic 64bit

[Gavin Chappell (g-a-c)]

Here also after resuming from hibernation and on wireless (so could be related to NetworkManager not connecting quickly enough?). I haven't tried with a staticised eth0 configuration and a cable plugged in to see if "removing" NM from the equation improves things at all.

I got this error after coming out of 'suspend.'

[Elie M. (elie-md)]

well I'm sorry to tell u I have 0.6.4-0ubuntu3 and still the bug isnt fixed as yet, it still occurs to me as I pasted in:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwibber/+bug/534941

so nothing's fixed yet. either something else is causing me this or the fix isnt working everywhere. thx and thx for further help if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I have 0.6.4-0ubuntu3 of desktopcouch, python-desktopcouch-records, python-desktopcouche.

[Thor Arne Kolberg (tagreblok)]

Also running 0.6.4-0ubuntu3, not fixed.
Bug 575461 was submittet after the bug should have been fixed by desktopcouch update.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

I reported this as bug 577196 which was marked as a duplicate of this one. Gwibber works fine for me in GNOME but not in KDE.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

If I build desktopcouch with the proposed branch gwibber does not start on my system (works fine in normal conditions).

[ciaron (ciaron-linstead)]

I can confirm I'm still seeing this bug with gwibber 2.30.0.1-0ubuntu1 and desktopcouch 0.6.4-0ubuntu3.

When I try to start the Gwibber client, I see the following in ~/.cache/gwibber/gwibber.log:

2010-05-16 23:02:40,806 - Gwibber GNOME Client - INFO - Running from the system path
2010-05-16 23:02:41,164 - Gwibber Dispatcher - ERROR - Failed to raise client (DBusException(dbus.String(u'Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)'),),)

[ciaron (ciaron-linstead)]

I should say by "this bug" I mean that the Gwibber client won't restart after a suspend.

If I kill gwibber-service and restart Gwibber from the Me Menu, it works, until the next suspend.

[Brendan_P (brendan-p)]

Can confirm this behaviour after resume from suspend.

[naranco (naranco)]

confirmed on an up to date ubuntu lucid system.

[levu (levu)]

i have got a workaround: kill the gwibber-service and than restart gwibber. After resume, gwibber-service should reconnect. I can't find out who is responsible for this bug, so i can't give him this notice.
I have no diff because i can't yet code python.
-- levu

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

I have build desktopcouch with the proposed fix to this bug report. Apparently there are no regressions but also I never faced this crash before. Can any one facing this issue please try the following and see if the crash stops

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:om26er/test ;sudo apt-get update ;sudo apt-get upgrade

If it works then great but if you face any other problem you can downgrade by disabling the ppa and then

$ sudo apt-get install desktopcouch/lucid desktopcouch-tools/lucid python-desktopcouch/lucid python-desktopcouch-records/lucid

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

I take my words back. The crash still occurs, this time I reproduced it.

[robbie (roberto-tomas-cuentas)]

kitallis tells me he has the same problem as https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/523964 - which is marked as duplicate of this problem. I had him run python -d gwibber and he gets this ewrror log http://pastie.org/private/bzlwxgrvth1mx6r2mzdkqg
-- there's a connection refuse error that is causing the socket object not to be set up .. then it passes a nul object and falls next the tipical error:

    self.fp = sock.makefile('rb', 0)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'makefile'

[ooze (zoe-gauthier)]

As I said in an other bug report [1], it seems like the couchdb service may go away for some reason (going to sleep seems to trigger this sometimes) and come back listening on a different port. Some debugging in gwibber-service let us see that its desktopcouch.records.server instance still holds the original port number (<OAuthCapableServer 'http://localhost:33312'>).

This means that simply trying to reconnect to the server won't work ; the server is no longer listening on this port. I don't know the internals of desktopcouch well enough to know at which level it should be best to drop the reference to the old server url and get a new one.

[Thor Arne Kolberg (tagreblok)]

My problem turned out to bee easy to fix.
Gwibber crashed upon startup, no service to stop.

I had disabled password at login to Ubuntu. Once I enabled it, Gwibber was working totally fine.

[Assid (assid)]

Im still facing issues on this. Im not going to pastebin the error since it seems everyone else has already done that. I am curious tho, shouldnt this have been fixed before it going stable?

I have always had a password on my account, so im not sure its the same as what @thor faced

[joe155 (joe-r-155)]

I can second Assid's comment - still get the problem. It momentarily went away, and wasn't around when I first installed, but now I can't get it to work. I've always had a password on my account.

Could it be caused by something like couchDB?

[Ryan Fugger (rfugger)]

This seems to be related to the bug in httplib2 here:

http://code.google.com/p/httplib2/issues/detail?id=62

See also launchpad bug #523327.

[heynnema (heynnema)]

Sorry to whine... but as important as Gwibber was to the Lucid release, I can't believe that this Gwibber crash at wake from resume bug hasn't been nailed yet. It happens EVERY time my laptop wakes from sleep. SUDO /ETC/INIT.D/WHINING STOP. Giggle.

[YannUbuntu (yannubuntu)]

As it is not mentionned in the original report, I add that i just had this bug when waking up from sleep (like heynnema #96). On an updated Lucid 32bits, Nec LL550/H.

[Gary Walker (gewalker)]

Same bug here. Running Lucid Netbook Ed. on Acer AOD250. No whining. I have to say that I'm generally thrilled with the caliber of product coming out of Ubuntu these days. Hope this helps. Feel free to ping me for additional info or testing.

If I relaunch gwibber, I get the following log message from gwibber-service. This comes from the patch of bug #539674 :

WARNING:root:DB connection timed out. Reconnecting.

My understanding so far:
  - couchdb/desktopcouch server crashes for some unknown reason.
  - gwibber-service tries to connect to desktopcouch.
    - This probably launches a new instance of couchdb/desktopcouch via DBus, but on a different port.
    - httplib2 fails to connect to the couchdb server because the couchdb client still holds the url of the crashed server.
    - The new httplib2 raises socket.error instead of AttributeError, so there is no reconnect.
  - gwibber is launched, which cause the same problem, but httplib2 raises AttributeError (?).
    - The gwibber service tries to reconnect, but it fails for the same reason.

I can improve things with the following (crude) code appended to desktopcouch/records/server.py, but gwibber will still crash by not handling exceptions in other cases :

    def get_records(self, record_type=None, create_view=False,
             design_doc=None):
        try:
            return super(CouchDatabase, self).get_records(record_type, create_view, design_doc)
        except:
            print "*** lp522538 ***"
            print "old uri: %s" % self.server_uri
            # Find the new port on which couchdb is listening.
            port = desktopcouch.find_port(ctx=self._server_class_extras["ctx"])
            self.server_uri = "http://localhost:%s" % port
            print "new uri: %s" % self.server_uri
            self._reconnect()
            return super(CouchDatabase, self).get_records(record_type, create_view, design_doc)

@Chad Miller, these logs http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49543529/gwibber.txt might be useful

I have a patch for desktopcouch, but I can't decide on the best way to handle this down.

desktopcouch is a thin wrapper around python-couchdb, and in creating and using views, client programs access and use python-couchdb functions directly. Here's one problem I can't fix inside desktopcouch without adding a layer between them.

Note, no "desktopcouch" in there. :(

I'll post what I have that re-connects CouchDatabase objects, but views are harder to fix.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

any chances for a Lucid fix?

[Braiam Peguero (braiampe)]

Me too. On lucid 10.04.1, from hibernation status, but a difference that all my app's and service crash, the X server restart after the wake up, the system became unstable and I restart.

I found a hint for a solution here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-httplib2/+bug/523327

Check your /etc/hosts file has the following:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 computer name

Mine had "username-laptop" where it should have had "computer name". After changing this it works perfectly.

  ... I'm not sure...

I can't believe that one of the key features of 10.04 still isn't working...

After all it is "social from the start"

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

There are atleast 3 duplicates to this bug per weak. if anyone suspends and resumes he can't start gwibber without killing the service. I would have prepared a ppa but apparently the branch linked to this bug report does not apply to desktopcouch 0.6.4 source.

[Martin Schaaf (mascha)]

This bug affects also gwibber version 2.30.2-0ubuntu1.

[Stuart Bishop (stub)]

Gwibber in Lucid is pretty much unusable due to this bug. A work around is to install the Gwibber packages from Maverick, which is working just fine here. The Maverick packages do not use desktop-couch. Keeping the Maverick packages up to date is an exercise for the reader as I don't think the stable 2.31 releases exist in a PPA.

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

I marked this as fixed released in Maverick, we think the work around in 0.6.6-0ubuntu3 has been working.

[Sohail Mirza (mirzmaster)]

Has this bug been fixed in Maverick? I still encounter this bug virtually every time I come out of standby on my laptop (which is multiple times a day). I am running the Maverick beta with the following package versions:

gwibber 2.31.94-0ubuntu1
gwibber-service 2.31.94-0ubuntu1
libgwibber0 0.0.6-0ubuntu1
desktopcouch 0.6.8-0ubuntu1

If further log information is required, I would appreciate some direction on how I can go about capturing logs.

Lucid 10.04.2 is already deeply frozen, so moving milestone.

[Redsandro (redsandro)]

Confirmed on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS with Gwibber 2.30.3-0ubuntu2
Workaround:
sudo killall -9 gwibber-service && gwibber &
