After doing this, friends-app started working again w/o crashing. It started out with only a few Twitter tweets, but fairly quickly started showing a full feed, including Facebook posts. I deleted both the cache and the resources file. After restoring both of these from backup, I was able to cause friends-app to segfault once again. Removing just the cache, and not the resource file, restored functionality (although with a bunch of entries that were 54-odd days old). I didn't take the time to verify that the functionality was complete in that case; I simply killed off friends-* again, removed the cache and resources, and restarted. I still have the cache handy, and can tell you things about it if you think it would help to diagnose the segfault. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176498 Title: friends app crashes on start.
