Hi, I'm suffering from a similar bug with a similar error message in the log. To try to debug it, I added the following line to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/network.py:
self.curl.setopt(pycurl.VERBOSE, 1) With this, gwibber-service -o -d tells me: Loading plugin Twitter version 1.0 Twitter : DEBUG Setting up monitors Twitter : DEBUG Refresh interval is set to 15 Twitter : DEBUG ** Starting Refresh - 2011-05-17 16:49:02.83 ** Twitter : DEBUG <twitter:responses> Performing operation Twitter : DEBUG <twitter:receive> Performing operation * About to connect() to api.twitter.com port 443 (#0) * Trying 199.59.149.200... * About to connect() to api.twitter.com port 443 (#0) * Trying 199.59.148.20... * connected * Connected to api.twitter.com (199.59.149.200) port 443 (#0) * found 142 certificates in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt * connected * Connected to api.twitter.com (199.59.148.20) port 443 (#0) * found 142 certificates in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt * SSL connection timeout at 146598 * Closing connection #0 Twitter : ERROR Network failure - error: 28 - SSL connection timeout at 146598 Twitter : DEBUG Failed to parse the response, error was: No JSON object could be decoded Twitter : ERROR <twitter:responses> Operation failed (With a similar message for my identi.ca account.) I dug a little more and found this thread: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-05/0015.html It looks like connecting with OpenSSL works, but pycurl is built to use curl with GnuTLS instead, and for some reason it's causing a timeout. I should note that the "timeout" I'm experiencing is very quick -- 6 or 7 seconds. I'm using the version of gwibber in the gwibber-daily ppa. libgnutls26 is version 2.8.6-1ubuntu2. Hopefully this helps someone else track this down!
