gwibber crashed with KeyError in render()

[Jochem]

Gwibber will not start after restoring the Gwibber settings after an Ubuntu reinstall (this happened automatically with backintime).

When I run Gwibber in the gnome-terminal, the following happens:

jochem@Artemis:~$ gwibber

A restart didn't help, nor did a reinstall of Gwibber.
gwibber-service is running. Killing it and then starting Gwibber also did not work.

Installed Gwibber version: 2.30.0.1-0ubuntu1
Version gwibber-service: 2.30.0.1-0ubuntu1

[Jochem (jochem56-deactivatedaccount)]

And just like that it starts again.
Didn't do anything though.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

closing this bug now if you face the problem again feel free to open this bug again

[Jochem (jochem56-deactivatedaccount)]

It's back.

[Jochem (jochem56-deactivatedaccount)]

I am sorry for this extra comment, but there are a few things you should know:
- The Broadcast Account option in the Indicator Applet is displayed twice.
- It is possible to Twitter via the Me Menu.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

try to start it from terminal and paste the results here please. and also a reboot would remove the second entry of gwibber.

please do the following and attach the logs

How can I delete the couchdb data for Gwibber?

[Botond Szász (boteeka)]

I don't know if this is related or not, but here it goes anyway.
I have checked "Start service on login", but it won't start no matter how many reboots or logout-login cycles I do. Also, "gwibber-service -d -o" outputs something similar to what Jochem posted (#9). No errors or warnings.

My laptop was running Karmic and had installed Gwibber since then, now it is running Lucid (installed through upgrade).

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

@Jochem, have you tried to kill gnome-keyring-daemon and then start again running a terminal, after that please start gwibber and gwibber-service and look if this issue persist.

[Jochem (jochem56-deactivatedaccount)]

The issue persists.
(here are the entered commands:

jochem@Artemis:~$ pkill gnome-keyring-daemon
jochem@Artemis:~$ gnome-keyring-daemon
jochem@Artemis:~$ gwibber

and

jochem@Artemis:~$ pkill gnome-keyring-daemon
jochem@Artemis:~$ gnome-keyring-daemon
jochem@Artemis:~$ gwibber-service
jochem@Artemis:~$ gwibber

both didn't work, same error)

[boratsuckdev (boratsuckdev1)]

I am facing the exact same bug on 10.04, updated gwibber on 26th, but the bug persists with the following error:

deleting gwibber's couchdb database might be helpful.

[Andre Engelbrecht (andrewebdev)]

How would I do that?

xdg-open .local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html it will open the web browser there delete all entries like gwibber_ and then logout and login again and try to start gwibber

[Jochem (jochem56-deactivatedaccount)]

Thanks for the work-around. But I have to ask: Will it affect anything (e.g. Ubuntu One)?

[Michiel Eghuizen (michieleghuizen)]

I did have the same problem.

The "solution" was for me:
xdg-open .local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html
removing all gwibber databases
aptitude purge gwibber gwibber-service
killall -9 gwibber
killall -9 gwibber-service
aptitude install gwibber gwibber-service

And setting up the account settings again.

However this is not a solution, just removing and reinstalling it. It seems the couchdb database can get corrupted or something. I actually don't know what happend, but it happens more often then 1 time.

[Radics Ottó (saboteur777)]

I get an error, maybe relating to this bugreport. Here's the terminal output starting gwibber in it:

saboteur777@laptop:~$

If I start gwibber using sudo gwibber, than it starts. I tried to remove all gwibber-related files which can cause trouble, but I couldn't solve the problem.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

@Radics Ottó, please change your system font size to an integer. then gwibber should work.

[Radics Ottó (saboteur777)]

@Omer Akram - how can I do that? I used the standard Fonts tab in the Change desktop background window to set them to 8,5.

[Radics Ottó (saboteur777)]

It's okay now, thanks!

[Andre Engelbrecht (andrewebdev)]

Ok, so the last time this happened, I fixed the error by deleting gwibber entries in couchdb. Beginning of this week. This error suddenly came up again. I have to delete couchdb entries again.

Surely this is not ideal? I installed the standard gwibber from the ubuntu 10.04 repos. It's really annoying to have to jump through hoops every couple of weeks, only to get the app working again.

[Michael Malott (michael-malott)]

After much hair pulling and searching the web, I came across what seems to be a fix on fixmypcfree.com:

http://www.fixmypcfree.com/news/ubuntu-lucid-i-fix-another-problem-maybe-but-questions-about/

This seems to just backup what others are saying about the couchdb but I thought I would spell it out in simple terms and make note that this also helped me fix Ubuntu One and Empathy also. To paraphrase, it basically says to:

------------------fixmypcfree.com (begin)-----------------------

1. Delete all password related to Gwibber (applications > accessories > "Passwords and Encryption Keys"). But to get Empathy to work again. I deleted all my chat account passwords also.

2. Quit Gwibber then delete 3 files: /home/username/.cache/desktop-couch, /home/username/.config/desktop-couch, and /home/username/.local/desktop-couch.

3. Restart computer and then Gwibber, Ubuntu One, and Empathy should all request setup for user and passwords once you start them.

------------------fixmypcfree.com (end)-----------------------

Note: That I am using Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 with Gwibber, Ubuntu One, and Empathy integrated and launch-able from the notification area. I have no idea what the effects will be in other builds if any.

This fix or workaround seems to fix 4 issues that I did not know where related. It fixed Gwibber (wouldn't start), Ubuntu One (wouldn't connect), Empathy (wouldn't start), and high CPU usage by a service called beam. Once I applied the fix all of these
problems seems to have resolved itself. I have not vetted the fix so I cannot confirm it is permanent but its working thus far.

Please upgrade to latest release of gwibber from PPA or Ubuntu Maverick as OmerAkram said, for now I will mark this issue as fixed
