The problem is that the feed doesn't contain a "description" sub-key for the
"privacy" key.
Obviously this was present before but is no longer present.
But the code depends on it being there.
Workaround:
sudo vim /usr/share/gwibber/plugins/facebook/__init__.py
replace line 329 which reads
m["privacy"]["description"] = data["privacy"]["description"]
by
if data["privacy"].has_key("description"):
m["privacy"]["description"] = data["privacy"]["description"]
else:
m["privacy"]["description"] = "Unknown"
This is not a suggested fix as I don't know whether the else is needed
as I don't know whether some other code depends on "description" being
set in m.

Title:
gwibber does not refresh Facebook feeds
Status in Gwibber:
Confirmed
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Since around November 28th, Gwibber stopped updating my Facebook
feeds. First, I tried to delete my facebook account from online
accounts and than uninstall and reinstall gwibber. Then, I removed
ubuntu from facebook app settings after doing all of the above. Then I
checked my proxy settings, and my proxy is on none. When I open
gwibber, I see feeds that are 12-13 days old and when I try to
refresh, it does not do anything. I mean it does not even write
refreshing... at the bottom of the screen. When I check if gwibber-
service is running correctly I get no mistake in the terminal. I've
looked a lot around bugs sections in many sites but none of them had
an answer.
