The problem lies on the facebook app. This app was removed on facebook and because gwibber need this facebook app to do sign in and update people status, it doesnt work.
In ubuntu 12.10 it works because gwibber or gnome uses other facebook app to do the job. The fix is changing the gwibber code to use the new facebook app as it happens on ubuntu 12.10. If there is a fix i hope it will be across the board for all gwibber users, including me on lucid 10.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Gwibber Bug Heros, which is subscribed to Gwibber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058672 Title: Can't add my Facebook account Status in Gwibber: Fix Released Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1.
