Digging around the Twitter developer pages I found out that Twitter is enforcing HTTPS, so I went in /usr/share/gwibber/plugins/twitter/gtk/twitter/__init__.py and updated a few lines: Line 78 : url = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=" + self.token.key #changed url to https
Line 143 : http_url="https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account/verify_credentials.json", parameters=None) #changed url to https After restarting the gwibber client and adding twitter>authorize I was greeted with the twitter login box and was able to add my Twitter account. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Gwibber Bug Heros, which is subscribed to Gwibber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1232816 Title: No plugins action for gwibber 3.4.2 in precise 12.04.3 LTS Status in Gwibber: New Bug description: I get no response at all when I start gwibber and want to add twitter.
