This problem was completely solved for me by this post: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwibber/+bug/552227 Look at #70.
This explains why people were getting relief by switching to openDNS or by just waiting until later. The timeouts for the Gwibber services are so small, that the slight speed edge you get with a better dns lookup makes it work. By the way, this fix also solved another problem I had where I couldn't add my Facebook account. -- gwibber tries to call has_key on list---twitter doesnot work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530195 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
