Killing gwibber-service doesn't solve this issue, gwibber still refuses to launch (though it did previously, yet very slowly).

Not sure what I can add: I have three streams (two Twitter lists and Facebook) that the system should be displaying when it comes up.

Hey Nicolas have you tried to upgrade your gwibber release to the latest available in Natty? by the way, this issue could be also related to a parameter in your gconf settings.

What parameter in the gconf settings, please?

And when I inquire of apt-get, I'm told that I already have the latest gwibber release installed.

What is "Incomplete" about this bug report that we can help with?

Hi Kamus,

Sorry for my late answer: coming back from a trip I performed the updates, and the problem seems solved for today.

Attempting to open Gwibber for the first time results in this issue - I have three streams (all Twitter), and can't get Gwibber to open as a result.

It seems that sometimes when Gwibber crashes (for me it was https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/542748) it messes up a gconf key. Particularly the one in apps/gwibber/preferences/streams. Mine was set to [{}]. I changed that to [] and Gwibber launched but no streams were visible. I hit the Gwibber menu button and then New Stream and Gwibber works for me again. Now the value in gconf for me is: [{"account": null, "transient": false, "stream": "messages"}].

I hope this helps get the bug fixed.

Thanks ^Again617, i had the same "[{}]" in apps/gwibber/preferences/streams. Removed it and now Gwibber starts up again properly. The other gwibber-* commands were working all the time, but just not the Gwibber main window.

It can be solved by code bt adding a test on line 254 of client.py:

    self.update_menu_availability()
    for stream in streams:
- if stream["stream"]:
+ if "stream" in stream and stream["stream"]:
        gobject.idle_add(lambda: self.service.UpdateIndicators(stream["stream"]))
