Cannot add new accounts in gwibber

[Omer Akram]

Binary package hint: gwibber

After gwibber 2.29.93 came into lucid I added a new account and it worked fine. but after desktopcouch 0.6.3-0ubuntu2 now you cannot add a new account in gwibber

*****************Workaround*********************
Quit(not close) gwibber and delete ~/.cache/desktop-couch ~/.config/desktop-couch and ~/.local/share/desktop-couch and start gwibber and try to add new account

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Marking my own bug report as High judging from the dups.

[Anthony Hook (anthonyhook)]

My bug was marked as a dup, but details are as follows:

I was locked out of my Twitter account (I'm blaming Gwibber) and I reset my password. I then changed the details in Gwibber to reflect my new password, but it continued to use my old account details and has now successfully locked me out again.

[Benoit Chesneau (bchesneau)]

i can reproduce it. With latest gwibber I can create a facebook user but no other users (twiiter and identi.ca) . Also I can't see messages I send to facebook. Seem related to an error with couchdb :

[Stephen Ostrow (isleshocky77)]

Also was able to add a facebook account, but not a twitter account.

[Nicolás Abel Carbone (nicocarbone)]

I am having the same problem. Also, I can't add my Twitter Account to the Microblogging plugin of Gnome-Do. It gives me an Authentication Failure. I am sure that my username and passwords are OK.
The two problems appeared at around the same time, so they may be related and this is way I mention it here.

[Brian K. Mangum (bkmangum)]

The latest updates have fixed this for me. Although in the indicator applet it still shows "Set Up Broadcast Account..."

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

FIxed for me too.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

gwibber 2.29.94 and desktopcouch 0.6.3-0ubuntu3 and also please use the latest version of gnome-keyring.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Things are going strange one time it worked then rebooted and deleted all accounts again and rebooted and then when I add new accounts the problem is there.

[mikbini (mikbini)]

It seems fixed for me,

desktopcouch 0.6.3-0ubuntu3
gnome-keyring 2.92.92.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu2
gwibber 2.29.94-0ubuntu1

[Z37A (juanzele)]

In my case not only that I can add a Twitter account (Facebook if I could), but also the DesktopCoach Gwibber and I consume almost all CPU.

I attach a screenshot.

Well now... it seems the new updates have brought this bug back again. Everything was fine until I updated just now. One update fixes the problem then the next brings it back again.

[Julian Lam (julian-lam)]

It seems okay with 2.29.94-0ubuntu1 for now...

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

I tried to reproduce in many ways and cannot reproduce this either and also we are not getting any duplicates so marking fixed. Thanks

[Suzan (suzan72)]

STOP!!!! This is NOT fixed!!

Latest Lucid with
gwibber 2.29.94-0ubuntu1
desktopcouch 0.6.3-0ubuntu3
 still cannot add Twitter accounts. Started gwibber with terminal, which gives me this, when try to add Twitter account:

After this I get the error "twitter-accounts closed unexpectedly".

[Leo (llenchikk)]

I have the same version as Suzan. And I can't add new accounts.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Try sudo pkill gwibber and then try to add a new account that *might*
work

[Christian Niemeyer (christian-niemeyer)]

Today (with all recent updates) I get this error message when running gwibber from terminal and trying to add my twitter account:

$ gwibber --debug

This works neither from terminal, nor with notfification area (envelope icon) and nor with the me-menu.

pkill gwibber and restart does not work for me.

By the way, in any ways, apport shows up, after trying to add a twitter account and says
"the program gwibber-service closed unexpectly"

[Christian Niemeyer (christian-niemeyer)]

Added a report from apport. But I'm not yet familiar with apport.

It says: gwibber-accounts crashed with ResourceConflict in _request()

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

If you are facing this please Quit(not close) gwibber and delete ~/.cache/desktop-couch ~/.config/desktop-couch and ~/.local/desktop-couch and start gwibber and try to add twitter account

[Peter Kingsnorth (petejk)]

This allows me to re-add my twitter account, but when adding a facebook account I only get as far as facebook authorized.

Saving...

    aId = "%s-%s" % (self.account["protocol"], self.account["username"])

is the output from terminal.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Peter, that would be another problem I think

[Leo (llenchikk)]

Deleting ~/.cache/desktop-couch ~/.config/desktop-couch and ~/.local/desktop-couch and start gwibber and try to add twitter account - helps for me. But process gwibber-service takes 100% of CPU at once. It begin after time to update for new messages, according to my preferences after 5 min.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Leo, high cpu would be bug 554005

[Christian Niemeyer (christian-niemeyer)]

Temporarily solution for me, that worked:

remove desktop-couch configuration directories in my home directory:

find ~ -iname "*desktop-couch*" -exec rm -rfv {} \;

(please be careful, this includes rm -rf command!)

And then log in, log out. Optional restart GDM. Log back in.

Use the envelope (indicator applet) icon, to create a new twitter account.

Worked for me. So far.

[Christian Niemeyer (christian-niemeyer)]

Ok, twitter is still working, but when adding my facebook account everything (gwibber-services, gwibber-accounts) still crashes.

[Christian Niemeyer (christian-niemeyer)]

and since then refuses to work. (sorry for double post)

[Christian Niemeyer (christian-niemeyer)]

These bugs are very closely related, imho.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwibber/+bug/533072

But this last one is marked fixed. I think it's not.

However, thanks in advance.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Christian, not able to add new account for facebook is not related to this bug. If the user is facing this bug the symptom is when he is adding new account while running from terminal it stucks at 'saving'

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

this problem is caused by dektop-couch as far as I can think.

[Ricardo Pérez López (ricardo)]

I have the same problem (using fully updated Lucid), and the workaround works for me. Thanks.

[bau (last-ironman)]

Works for me too (i have ~/.local/share/desktop-couch instead of
~/.local/desktop-couch)

[Brian K. Mangum (bkmangum)]

Deleting ~/.cache/desktop-couch ~/.config/desktop-couch and ~/.local/share/desktop-couch works for me also.

[Suzan (suzan72)]

Workaround did not help!
I was first able to add the Twitter account after deleting the desktopcouch files. But - it simply did not work. Account was added but with no use.

So try to delete and add again... again not successful. :-/

Seems this bug is a real couch-potatoe... (sorry for this bad joke)

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

With gwibber 2.30.0.1 when you delete an account and add a new account in the terminal it shows "CouchDB ID collision encountered, deleting old account" and successfully adds new account. So I think this bug is certainly fixed. Great work.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Changelog also has "Fixed account creation for accounts previously deleted" Can any one confirm if the install 2.30.0.1 solves the problem.

[Brian K. Mangum (bkmangum)]

The current updates have fixed this bug for me with the following versions:

desktopcouch 0.6.4-0ubuntu1
gnome-keyring 2.92.92.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu2
gwibber 2.30.0.1-0ubuntu1

[mikbini (mikbini)]

It is fixed for me, too.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

This bug is now fixed in Lucid. If you get any accounts related problems please open new bug reports. Thanks

[Jim N (jim-hsweb)]

I have the latest Ubuntu 10.04 and I am unable to add a facebook. The add button does nothing. Tried to delete directories as mentioned with no luck.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Jim N, that would be bug

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

oops sorry, Jim N please open a new bug report for the issue you are facing.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Isn't this bug related to bug #552410
I have seen a lot of these bugs in the recent months
