Facebook through Gwibber

[Sharat Bellekeri]

I added my Facebook account to Gwibber but it doesn't show any notification, it doesn't do anything at all. Now I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, but few months back I had 11.10 and Gwibber worked fine.

I am seeing the same problem on my system. I notice there are two other bugs on this (Bug #757419 and Bug #781783), but I am actually seeing a different error (2013-01-15 17:13:04,722 - Dispatcher Thread-1177 : ERROR - <facebook:receive> Operation failed) in gwibber.log (attached)

Can you see if you have the same error in your ~/.cache/gwibber/gwibber.log file? If so, then I'll mark this as the same issue I'm having.

[Sharat Bellekeri (sharatbellekeri)]

I checked the log file but didn't find any ERROR message. And my ~/.cache/gwibber/gwibber.log looks like this.

[Matt Parlette (matthew-parlette)]

Hmm, that is a different issue then. For your issue, what happens when you remove and re-add your facebook account?

[Sharat Bellekeri (sharatbellekeri)]

Nothing happens when I try to add same account twice, and also when I remove the existing account.

[Sharat Bellekeri (sharatbellekeri)]

When I add a new account, it asks me to log into my facebook id, and when I do that and hit 'authorize' nothing happens. I checked with my app centre and found that gwibber is active, but it doesn't do anything.

[Matt Parlette (matthew-parlette)]

Can you attach your latest gwibber.log in case that sheds some light on the problem?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
