Can't Authorize Facebook in Gwibber
Whenever I try to add Facebook account in Gwibber, It gives the following error:
**Unable to load page**
Problem occurred while loading the URL https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?scope=publish_stream%2Cread_stream%2Cstatus_update%2Coffline_access%2Cuser_photos%2Cfriends_photos&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Flogin_success.html&type=user_agent&display=popup&client_id=71b85c6d8cb5bbb9f1a3f8bbdcdd4b05
**Cannot resolve proxy hostname ()**
How can I fix it?
I got your problem now. Try this few steps:
- Go to Home folder, then show all hidden files using
Ctrl+H
. - Browse to .config/gwibber.
- Delete gwibber.sqlite.
- Now try to connect your Facebook.
Here's what I did:
According to this link:
Currently gwibber seems to expect a direct connection to the net, no use of a proxy. Gwibber should really query gnome for proxy information and use it for connecting to the net. You could also consider using libproxy.
So I went to
System Settings > Network > Network Proxy
and selected "None" in the "Method" box, instead of Automatic or Manual. Then applied it system wide and ta-da! Gwibber now works.
Hope I helped!
