The solution provided by #25 does work. After some digging around I found that the problem lies somewhere in the function parsetime in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/util/__init__.py
def parsetime(t): loc = locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME) locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, 'C') result = mx.DateTime.Parser.DateTimeFromString(t) locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, loc) return result.ticks() In my case the locale was set to en_IN locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME,loc) throws an error /usr/lib/python2.6/locale.pyc in setlocale(category, locale) 511 # convert to string 512 locale = normalize(_build_localename(locale)) --> 513 return _setlocale(category, locale) 514 515 def resetlocale(category=LC_ALL): Error: unsupported locale setting But when locale is set to en_US.utf8 it works properly. -- Gwibber doesn't refresh streams (unsupported locale/language error not handled) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533017 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
