gwibber crashed with DBusException in call_blocking() on startup

This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #628686. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

Gary, maybe you should leave a message in bug 628686 about it

KenVandine had marked this issue as triaged and was assigned to him in another report, however apport marked this one like the source.

I previously had the first listed traceback as output, then I installed the latest version of Gwibber from the stable PPA. I am not getting the attached output and Gwibber fails to open an interface, however, the gwibber-service process seems to continue running.

Based on the number of duplicates, uping the prioirty to high.

@aj00200: are you still getting this same problem? Or perhaps you had upgraded gwibber and the gwibber-service hadn't restarted since the upgrade?

Your particular traceback looks like the gwibber-service process you had running was from 2.32 and the client was 3.0. If you are still getting this same error, please open a new bug for it.

I am no longer experiencing this problem.
gwibber 3.0.0.1-0ubuntu2
gwibber-service 3.0.0.1-0ubuntu2

Thanks, Ken!

Hi,

I'm still with this issue. It started after upgrading to 11.04.

gwibber 3.0.0.1-0ubuntu3
gwibber-service 3.0.0.1-0ubuntu3

The service seams to be running:

$ ps axf|grep gwi
 8522 pts/3 S+ 0:00 | \_ grep --color=auto gwi
 8090 ? SLl 2:03 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/gwibber-service
 8101 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/gwibber-service
 8102 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/gwibber-service

What kind of debug should I do to help ?

did you try creating a new user and testing gwibber after that.. it may tell if it's coming from your configuration or from the software.. ??

Adil,

Just created a new user and tried it again from commmand line:

any new.. ??

Unfortunately this traceback is very generic, so everyone commenting here are likely experiencing different bugs. Anyone affected, please open new bug reports and attach the output of this command:

killall -9 gwibber-service; gwibber-service -do

yey.. it's done..
