Gwibber not working at all?

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – Brand new fresh install of ubuntu 12.10, with all updates installed. I've added my facebook account in ubuntu online accounts. It works fine in empathy, but neither gwibber nor the gwibber social lens show anything. If I open gwibber its just blank. If I manually click refresh it just sits there "refreshing" forever. I've tried removing .config/gwibber and .cache/gwibber and trying again but same problems occur. What gives here? Is there anyway to make it work? (HowTos)

[ubuntu] Gwibber not working 21 weeks 6 days ago

Gwibber isn't working on my Ubuntu install. When I open it, it just shows icons at the top and a grey area under them. I've seen other threads and Ask Ubuntu posts about this, and there seem to be 2 solutions: disable the firewall and disable Facebook. I'm not using a firewall, and Facebook is the only service that I do use Gwibber for, so disabling it wold defeat the purpose of having it for me.

i'd like to add my statusnet account (not identi.ca) to gwibber, which seems to have the ability judging by the "gwibber-service-statusnet" package.

the trouble is that when you go to add an account, instead of the old gwibber account screen, it now takes me to the central Online Accounts settings menu, which makes no mention of statusnet!

is this still possible?

I removed Gwibber as soon as I installed Ubuntu. I used Gwibber on another Ubuntu computer, and didn't like it.

I didn't mind the notifications from Gwibber when I got new @replies, but I just installed Hotot, and like it a lot. But, I am getting notifications from Hotot and Gwibber, even though I dont have Gwibber installed, and havent for months. How can I fix/get rid of this?

twitter refreshes and shows feeds just fine but facebook doesn't. if i use gwibber to post something for myself it shows up if I confirm it on my droid but it doesn't pull any data in gwibber. it's like working only in one direction. i checked proxy settings, tried removing and reinstalling. no go. removing and adding the account didn't work.

Gwibber is a Social Media application which will download your tweets, flickr photos, Face Book and other Social Media sites. For Face Book you will need to authorize your Face Book account so that Gwibber will be able to post your Face Book comments onto your wall. For Twitter all you need to do is type in your user name and then your password.

I've been using Ubuntu 12.04 for months now, and Empathy was working perfectly fine. Even Gwibber. But lately, these both have stopped working!

The connection for Facebook chat is not getting accepted in Empathy whereas in Gwibber, I only get a blank screen when I link my Facebook account.
