i cant get gwibber to work with facebook. it just doesn't want to do anything!

Asked by Leo V

gwibber appears to save my facebook info when i authorize it, but then it doesn't keep the info and it doesn't anything.
i try to authorize it, then it asks my facebook adress and passwd and then it says authorized and then it wont work.

Log a bug

You could try uninstalling the app, removing the hidden config folder in $HOME, reinstall it then reconfigure. May just be silly enough to work

Cheers

open ~/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html and documents named as gwibber, logout and login again and it should work. we already have many such bug reports. try it if it works please let us know. If it does not please open gwibber from terminal, refresh the stream with ctrl+r and paste the results here

oops the first line meant open ~/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html and delete documents named gwibber.

Hello, I have a similar problem with Leo V. I tried the solution that Omer gave, but the problem persists.

This is a copy of my terminal while I was trying to add a facebook account:

I was going to ask the same question but I found this.
I've got the same issue.
Trying to add my Facebook account ends in a "Facebook authorized" (In spanish) but when I click on "Add" It won't work.
