Binary package hint: indicator-messages

I'm on a fully updated Lucid amd64 fresh install. Clicking "Set Up Broadcast Account..." does not reult in any action by my computer. No new applications open, and I'm not able to set up a new broadcast account using the indicator

This works fine for me.. I click setup broadcast account, get a window asking for my password, and then it opens gwibber.

[Jonathan Blackhall (johnny-one-eye)]

I never get the window asking for a password, nor do I get gwibber. I also tried restarting my computer, just to be sure something wasn't screwy. See attached screencast...

If you are able to run that dialog when /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 is running, then please mark this bug as a duplicate of the other one (#568748).

[Jonathan Blackhall (johnny-one-eye)]

Thanks for following up. I checked and this dialog still is not working for me, even when polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 is running. I was hoping that would fix it too :-/

[Milan Bouchet-Valat (nalimilan)]

OK, thanks. I think you should run 'gwibber-accounts' in a terminal, and post the output here. (I *think* that's the program that this item should start, but I don't use it.)

So that's a crash. Thanks for the details, that should be enough for a developer to identify the problem.

[Milan Bouchet-Valat (nalimilan)]

Another hint: do you have gnome-keyring-daemon running correctly? Are you able to run seahorse and edit your secrets? Do other programs (like NetworkManager) correctly get passwords from your keyring?

Thanks for taking time to report this bug and helping to make ubuntu better. This particular bug has already been reported but feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

I think so. I'm able to open Applications ->Accessories ->Passwords
and Encryption Keys (seahorse). I have auto-login set up, but I am
prompted for a password to unlock my keyring whenever I boot my
computer. Are there other things I should try to check specifically?

[Milan Bouchet-Valat (nalimilan)]

I don't have any idea of what developers may need. Let's wait for somebody more clueful to come, but that will happen on the duplicate report.
