Get no updates of tweets in Gwibber

Asked by Oliver Duerre on 2010-08-29

Hi there,

since couple of days, I don't get any updates of Tweets in Gwibber. If I start Gwibber in the Shell, I get following messages:

ich@ich-vaio:~$ gwibber -d

after authorise, the add button disappears, gwibber officially sucks

Daniel Wainwright (solder-splash) said : #7

Great, that fix's the Gwibber updates issue. However, it's broken the neat little panel in the top right of desktop that had the shutdown button, the mail/chat/broadcast button etc.. Any ideas how to get that back?

Daniel Wainwright (solder-splash) said : #8

Scratch that. After _another_ restart it has 'fixed' itself. Spooky.
