Sounds like you don't have friends-app installed. The -app package provides the actual application that you would run and interact with (friends itself is just a backend that runs invisibly in the background). Try this command:

sudo apt-get install friends-app

We should also provide a .application file for online accounts to use for the unity lens

[Neil Wilson (neil-aldur)]

sudo apt-get install friends-app
[sudo] password for neil:

E: Unable to locate package friends-app

Apparently it's in universe. How does that work then?

[Robert Bruce Park (robru)]

apt-get update? I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to install it.

[Neil Wilson (neil-aldur)]

Probably because it is in *universe* and I only have the *main* repo
installed - to see if the base supported ubuntu build is complete.

so if this package is required it needs moving to the main repo.

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

[shishimaru (shishimaru)]

I have the same problem.
Twitter actually disappeared and now I have a "blank" account (null) in Online Accounts. I cannot set a new Twitter account.

[libihero (libihero)]

I have friends installed, but as shishimaru stated, where twitter used to be in "Online Accounts" now is "blank". Clicking on it states "There are currently no applications installed which integrate with your (null) account". It is not possible to remove this account. Clicking on "Add Accounts" does not show twitter

[Robert Bruce Park (robru)]

If something has gone wrong in the Ubuntu Online Accounts screen, that would be a bug with Ubuntu Online Accounts, not Friends. Please file a new bug about that.

In the mean time, make sure you have friends-app and friends-twitter packages installed, and things should be working.

so this is solved by going to the synaptic package manager and installing "account-plugin-twitter"
