Text area is disable

[max.zloy]

Cannot send messages in Gwibber, because the text area is disabled, despite all accounts being enabled.

Tweets and dents are shown as normal in the Gwibber window, and is otherwise functioning normally. Using the tweet box in the Me Menu, you can even still tweet via Gwibber externally. Just the textbox *inside* Gwibber is disabled.

Clicking the Reply buttons on tweets shown in the timeline cause the “@username” to be printed inside the textbox, but as it is disabled, it cannot be edited.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

you mean it works fine with wifi but does not work when you are connected with ethernet?

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

can you please explain this bug a little more clearly?

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

@max, is this issue still affecting you under latest release of gwibber 2.30.1-0ubuntu1?

[Jeremy Visser (jeremy-visser)]

I confirm this bug on Gwibber 2.30.1. The textbox in the message area is disabled, and so cannot be edited. I’ve attached a screenshot of this.

I have a second Ubuntu machine that does not suffer from this. And even on this problematic machine, I can still tweet via the Me Menu — just not from within Gwibber itself.

this bug is caused if you are not using the standard connection manager.

The bug is *triggered* if you are not using the standard connection manager. The bug is *caused* by a flaw in the software.

[Nasyarobby Nugraha Putra (nasyarobby)]

Same problem here... I'm using gnome-ppp. And the gwibber textarea is disabled.

[Jeremy Visser (jeremy-visser)]

Nasyarobby, the way I worked around this bug was to either remove or stop NetworkManager when this happened.

$ sudo service network-manager stop

[Nasyarobby Nugraha Putra (nasyarobby)]

Jeremy... Well that solves the bug... Thanks... :)

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

I have sent this problem to gwibber upstream, please be pacient and wait a response from the developers (for now you can use work around published at comment #12), Thanks.

[Najmi (najmi-zabidi)]

The send message box working for me if I restart network manager on my Meerkat.
Superbly weird problemo.
