Gwibber

gwibber won't start

Asked by CC on 2010-07-25

I can't start Gwibber
No error displayed when i tried to run it, it just won't start.

I tried and reinstall it, but same result.

I read the Bug #607260 https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/607260
which looks similar, but i think i'm using the latest version, since i did uninstall and install again.
and still did run the ubuntu software actualization wizard

my guess is I made a mistake and errase some libraries that Gwibber needs..

I tried to run Gwibber in terminal and this is what it displays:

cc@x:~$ gwibber

Thanks Omer for your answer!

i tried the comand you gave me

$ mv ~/.cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.pid ~/.cache/desktop-couch
/desktop-couchdb.pid.old

it returned something like

$ mv ~/.cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.pid ~/.cache/desktop-couch
/desktop-couchdb.pid "is the same file"

didn't want to recognice the ".old"

then i tried:

$ mv ~/.cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.pid
~/.cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.pid.old

in one line

and this is the answer:

cc@x:~$ mv ~/.cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.pid
~/.cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.pid.old
cc@x:~$

then i tried as root:

cc@x:~$ sudo su -
[sudo] password for cc:
root@x:~# mv ~/.cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.pid
~/.cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.pid.old
mv: no se puede efectuar «stat» sobre
«/root/.cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.pid»: No existe el fichero ó
directorio
root@x:~#

(No existe el fichero ó directorio) = Not such file or directoty exist

I reboot and still same result..

Gwibber won't start...
