twinkle no longer a GUI app???

[Jason Haar]

I'm a long time twinkle user under Fedora, who has just moved to Ubuntu with 14.04

Anyway, it simply doesn't work. If I have no $HOME/.twinkle directory, and run it from a shell, it gives errors about there being no config and hangs. If I touch the $HOME/.twinkle/twinkle.cfg file, then seems to be defaulting to some autodiscover mode - writing debugging to STDOUT - but no GUI shows up

Running "ldd /usr/bin/twinkle" doesn't show any X-windows/QT related libraries I'd expect. I suspect this is simply totally broken?

BTW, I originally had my Fedora $HOME/.twinkle/ directory (with my SIP accounts/etc). twinkle gives no errors but again no GUI shows up

We have the same problem in several desktops. In 12.04 twinkle worked OK, we have updated to 14.04 and twinkle doesn't show any GUI. If I launch it from command line, it loads the config and leaves in in a terminal command live, where I can answer call typing "answer".

It seems that the package is built without any GUI support.

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