Comment 19 for bug 521569

I'm facing this error as well, here's what I get when running 'gwibber-service' and gwibber from command-line respectively

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/network.py", line 32, in __init__
    self.curl.perform()
error: (6, 'name lookup timed out')

and

I've went to network.py, which is dead in the middle of 'CurlDownloader:' from looking at everyone else's problems it begins with CurlDownloader. Sorry my programming skills are sub-par or I would see what I could do.
