To be clear, my fix is for version 3.6.0-0ubuntu1 of package gwibber-service-facebook. If you have a different version, the line number is maybe different, but I guess the workaround is the same as long as it is the same problem. To verify that you have the same problem, run the following two commands
killall gwibber-service gwibber-service -do Now you should get some output during the run that reads like: Dispatcher Thread-5 : ERROR <facebook:receive> Operation failed Dispatcher Thread-5 : DEBUG Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/dispatcher.py", line 83, in run message_data = PROTOCOLS[account["service"]].Client(account)(opname, **args) File "/usr/share/gwibber/plugins/facebook/__init__.py", line 369, in __call__ return getattr(self, opname)(**args) File "/usr/share/gwibber/plugins/facebook/__init__.py", line 393, in receive return [self._message(post) for post in data["data"]] File "/usr/share/gwibber/plugins/facebook/__init__.py", line 329, in _message m["privacy"]["description"] = data["privacy"]["description"] KeyError: 'description' The 3rd line from bottom of this excerpt gives you the faulty line which is 329 for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Gwibber Bug Heros, which is subscribed to Gwibber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088775 Title: gwibber does not refresh Facebook feeds Status in Gwibber: Confirmed Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Since around November 28th, Gwibber stopped updating my Facebook feeds. First, I tried to delete my facebook account from online accounts and than uninstall and reinstall gwibber. Then, I removed ubuntu from facebook app settings after doing all of the above. Then I checked my proxy settings, and my proxy is on none. When I open gwibber, I see feeds that are 12-13 days old and when I try to refresh, it does not do anything. I mean it does not even write refreshing... at the bottom of the screen. When I check if gwibber- service is running correctly I get no mistake in the terminal. I've looked a lot around bugs sections in many sites but none of them had an answer.
