Gwibber Won't Add, Resizes a lot

[jascayne]

I'll join the parade of users having problems with gwibber... I can add my twitter account just fine, but I can't add a facebook account. If I try launching gwibber from the terminal, I see a whole mess of errors popping up:

I am have tried on 2 different clean installs to register my wife's account, and it wouldn't work. I was stuck on the Add button. Everything else with Facebook would confirm, but then I could not Add the account.
Strangely, my account was added to both clean installs easily.

I have the same issue with trying to register FB.

I'm in the same situation on three different systems...

I was having similar problems, but today was able to fix things enough to post to Facebook and view messages, etc.

I updated Lucid using the Update Manager (rather than waiting for prompts to update). After this, I was able to successfully add my Facebook account to Gwibber.

At first I did have issues where it seemed my facebook updates weren't being registered, though I discovered afterwards these were mistakenly added to one of my Twitter accounts (though I had explicitly chosen to update with Facebook each time).

To resolve this, I disabled "post messages" for that Twitter account and made sure the settings for my FB account enabled me to post. Since then all has been working just fine.

Hope this may help others solve the issue too - I was incredibly frustrated at being unable to use this feature until now - it's one of the things which excited me most about Lucid!

I join the heap of people sick to death of this absolutely abysmal program.

same here.. this program was hyped quite a bit when Lucid was released.. but its never worked properly for me. I just cannot add any account even after updating.
