How do I use Broadcast Accounts?

Asked by jacob furchak

I have ubuntu 10.04 and I am trying to use the Broadcast Accounts option.

I clicked on broadcast accounts in the menu and chose to add an account from Facebook.

So I clicked the Authorize button on this window and it brought me to the Gwibber application which I authorized. Now in the space below where it says "authorize with facebook" it says "facebook authorized".

However there is a listbox on the side of the window which should show a list of authorized services, but it doesn't show anything and it doesn't show the facebook Gwibber application which I just authorized.

If I click the "close" button to close the window, and then quickly navigate back to the Broadcast Accounts window, it won't show any evidence on that screen that I ever authorized the Gwibber facebook app. and there is still nothing in the listbox to show that I ever authorized it.

Furthermore, I don't know how to use this application in order to test it.

I had hoped that if I had successfully authorized the application, a new option would appear in the menu that would allow me to use broadcast accounts.

I have already successfully created a chat account through facebook and sent and received messages.

Thanks for your time,
Jacob F.

When you authorize Gwibber in Facebook, you should start to receive Facebook notifications inside Gwibber.

You can also post to Facebook from Gwibber. Try posting some message from Gwibber and see if it appears in your Facebook Wall.

If you get an error message, please post it back here so we can help you.
