Aha, a clue! The error message is "'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xeb", and the message contained a ë. Byte 0xeb in the *ISO-8859-1* character encoding is ë!
This means that it is very likely that the message is not encoded with UTF-8 at all, but with ISO-8859-1, and Gwibber for some reason tries to decode the message using the wrong character encoding! In my own error message posted above the byte it can't decode using UTF-8 is 0xe1, which is á in ISO 8859-1. I think it's likely we have found the bug. -- UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe1 in position 0: unexpected end of data https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/605543 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
