Public bug reported: When trying to add Twitter and/or Facebook (I don't know about Identi.ca, as I don't have an account with that service) accounts using the "Broadcast Accounts" applet for Gwibber, I encounter the following problem:
- After the "Add" button is clicked, and "Authorize" is clicked, I am able to successfully enter my credentials in the web page frame that appears in the window, however, after successfully authorizing, I am thrown back to the "Broadcast Accounts" window and the account does not appear. I was finally able to successfully add accounts after the actions performed below, however, I am unsure as to which individual action led to success. I plan on doing a fresh install of Ubuntu on another machine, so hopefully between that fresh install and using virtual machines, I can narrow things down to which specific action leads to a fix. - I closed the "Broadcast Accounts" applet since I was unable to add any accounts. I had originally opened this applet using the Unity launcher, just as I would open any stand-alone application. - I opened the "Gwibber Social Client" and accessed the "Broadcast Accounts" applet through the "Accounts" item in the "Edit" menu. - I attempted to Add a new account. Previously, I had been changing the color of the account label before authorizing my credentials. This time, I didn't change any of the options presented after clicking "Add" and straight away entered my credentials. This time, the authorization was a success and I the account showed up in the left-side menu of the "Broadcast Accounts" window. I then changed the color of the account label. - I was able to successfully add 3 Twitter accounts and 1 Facebook account by performing the actions above. I am unsure if changing the color was the issue, or if Gwibber Social Client needed to be opened at least once before a broadcast account could be opened, or if this was just a random glitch and I would have been able to successfully add an account after closing and re-opening the "Broadcast Accounts" applet. I just wanted to supply as much information as possible. I encountered this specific instance of the bug after a fresh install of Ubuntu 11 but I remember encountering it before in an earlier fresh install of 11 and after installs of previous Ubuntu versions. I can't remember what eventually led to successfully adding accounts in the past. ** Affects: gwibber (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/808048 Title: unable to add accounts using "Broadcast Accounts" applet To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwibber/+bug/808048/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
