Description homburg 2009-09-30 18:02:34 UTC
Description of problem:

Most recent KDE update seems to have broken Microblogger using twitter. All I am getting is the page icon.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing. I have tried with - and without - wallet. I assume that this shares coookie settings with konq. I have enabled all cookies. I can successfully create tweets - just not fetch them.

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2009-09-30 18:21:42 UTC
From what I can gather, it's more a problem on twitter's end.  They're servers have been quite overwhelmed lately (ie, over the past few weeks), and the blogger plasmoid deals with that less than gracefully.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2009-09-30 18:22:44 UTC
fwiw, (kinda offtopic) but that's why I personally have mostly switched to using identi.ca

Comment 3 homburg 2009-09-30 19:11:00 UTC
Choqok works fine, Of course the widget has certain advantages. Can this be fixed?

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2009-09-30 19:17:26 UTC
Last I tried, choqok was failing for twitter too. ymmv.

I'd encourage you to report upstream to bugs.kde.org, as this really isn't a fedora-specific issue.  I'd venture it's already reported, I'll go looking for it.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2009-09-30 19:22:51 UTC
interesting.  
1, no upstream report.
2. I confirmed the bug
3. even better, my tweets are shown if I disable "show friends" option

re-enabling "show friends" results in a blank applet.

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2009-09-30 19:26:22 UTC
OK, looks fixed already, see also:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207327

I think kde-4.3.2 release is imminent, may wait for that.

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2009-09-30 19:52:37 UTC
nevermind, patch was easy enough, try out this build (when it finishes):

(After installing, I had to re-login for the dataengine to work properly).

Same problem after update. I made an upstream report.

Comment 13 Rex Dieter 2009-10-08 17:52:26 UTC
You need to at least restart your session after installing the update.

If it still doesn't work, then your problem is a new one.
