To be clear, my fix is for version 3.6.0-0ubuntu1 of package
gwibber-service-facebook. If you have a different version, the line number is
maybe different, but I guess the workaround is the same as long as it is the
same problem.
To verify that you have the same problem, run the following two commands
killall gwibber-service
gwibber-service -do
Now you should get some output during the run that reads like:
Dispatcher Thread-5 : ERROR <facebook:receive> Operation failed
Dispatcher Thread-5 : DEBUG Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/dispatcher.py", line
83, in run
message_data = PROTOCOLS[account["service"]].Client(account)(opname, **args)
File "/usr/share/gwibber/plugins/facebook/__init__.py", line 369, in __call__
return getattr(self, opname)(**args)
File "/usr/share/gwibber/plugins/facebook/__init__.py", line 393, in receive
return [self._message(post) for post in data["data"]]
File "/usr/share/gwibber/plugins/facebook/__init__.py", line 329, in _message
m["privacy"]["description"] = data["privacy"]["description"]
KeyError: 'description'
The 3rd line from bottom of this excerpt gives you the faulty line which
is 329 for me.

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.
