After some searching the problem is related to the facebook api and how gwibber works with facebook. I think the Ubuntu facebook app limit has been reached. Same thing happened and is happening in previous versions of ubuntu with gwibber because the Gwibber facebook app limit has been reached.
The solution is to create a new app token on facebook, change the code on gwibber facebook service and it will work for some time until the limit is reached again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gwibber in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1084325 Title: Gwibber's Facebook receive operation fails Status in Gwibber: New Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Fresh install of ubuntu 12.10 as of today, all updates installed. Gwibber nor the gwibber lens will not work at all. If I open gwibber its just totally blank. If I click refresh it just sits there and says "Refreshing" indefinitely. I have my facebook account added in UOA, and its working fine in empathy. I tried: Re-adding the account in UOA Deleting .config/gwibber and .cache/gwibber rebooting the computer Nothing helps, it just will not refresh.
