Lucid Gwibber Problems

[Dutchmaster]

When I installed gwibber into Kubuntu 10.04 via Synaptic, the icon was non responsive when I clicked on it. I looked to find a usr/lib folder to link to the usr/bin gwibber file, but there is no library for it there.

Can someone guide me in how to correct this? I'm beyond my skills now.

Thanks.

Try running gwibber from the terminal. If it's unresponsive at startup, there should at least be an error message in terminal. Post it here.

Re: Lucid Gwibber Problems

It looks like there's a bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/552227

There's no definite solution yet though it looks like some people had success updating their version of gwibber. You can check your installed version by typing

sudo aptitude show gwibber

in a terminal.

It appears the latest version is 2.30.0.1-0ubuntu1
