[ubuntu-uk] Twitter fail on 12.04?
Am I the only one who's noticed a complete twitter fail on 12.04 apps recently? It is a is a possibility it is a fail on my behalf but... on 2 separate machines [desktop running 12.04 64 bit AND netbook running 12.04 32 bit there is no longer access to twitter from apps. Access to actual Twitter account via browser is fine - so no nasty things done to account. Access via Hotot or Gwibber on both machines [using latest Hotot from ppa on desktop, version from standard repo on 32 bit] a fail. Access via standard Cwibber also a total fail fail on both machines. I have removed permissions directly on Twitter and reinstated but still no access. Hotot authorises token but fails authentication on sing in. Gewibber can't successfully re-authorise. All were working 100% until 3 days ago. I'm stuck on this one as to next move - especially having thrown Mint 15 onto a spare partition and see Hotot work perfectly with no problems. I had suspected Twitter API but the Mint vesrion is as per my 12.04 64 bit desktop from ppa this confuses me - unless a library/package in 12.04 is no longer compatible with / is missing / is corrupt on 2 machines at the same time]. I’m stuck as to next next move except to report bug - which I don’t want to do until I find I'm not the only person affected. Suggestions [or confirmations] welcome. -- Bill B.
