i think there's some plugins have bugs ...

oh no, it's bugs in gobject???...FT

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

* Is this reproducible now ?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

reply for #4:

try to install "gwibber-service-sina"(sudo apt-get install gwibber-service-sina)

then run gwibber-acconts

find "sina"(ps: i'm in China and any other services are GFWed)

and authorize it
if u run gwibber-accounts in terminal , you'll see:

TypeError: Item 0: must be a subtype of gi.Boxed

I reinstalled gwibber, gwibber-service, gwibber-service-twitter etc.
the twitter and facebook authorized SUCCESSFULLY.

Atfer that, I reinstalled gwibber-service-sina, when sina authorized, the bug totally reproduced.
It looks there is a bug of gwibber-service-sina, It cause the error: "Title: gwibber-accounts crashed with TypeError in function(): Item 0: must be a subtype of gi.Boxed".

I can reproduce this issue, Apport brought me to this bug report.

gwibber-service-sina:
  已安装： 0.9.1-0ubuntu6
  候选软件包：0.9.1-0ubuntu6
  版本列表：
 *** 0.9.1-0ubuntu6 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch gwibber, choose sina, click the button to authorize with sina, enter account name and password

Expected result:
Log in successfully

Actual result:
The process bar shows it was authorizing, then Apport shows.

now i have found where the bug is:

in gwibber-service-sina:

__init__.py

on the line4: import gnomekeyring

then i wrote a python script:
#for test
from gwibber.microblog import network, util
import gnomekeyring

when i run it:
tonychyi@tonychyi-HP:~$ python 1.py

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
  import gobject._gobject

now i think there is something wrong with gwibber or gnomekeyring

i'm sorry i seem not to be able to fix this bug...

cause 'TypeError: Item 0: must be a subtype of gi.Boxed' still exist....

the same bug is on the package gwibber-service-sohu

the 2 packages is from one persion

in new Ubuntu 12.04
2 packages: gwibber-service-sina gwibber-service-sohu have this bug

thanks for the info
assigning to kenvandine the bug is ready now and setting the importance

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This will affect many OEM's shipping machines to China, so opening a task for the the OEM Priority project.

我使用的是新浪微博，添加帐号、密码之后，点击登录并授权后，就一直处于“正在验证”状态。
遗憾的是launchpad不支持Bug报告附带截图

I am using the Sina microblogging.Add username, password, click Login, and to authorize, has been in the "verified" status.
Unfortunately launchpad does not support Bug Reports comes with screenshots

reply for #16

this bug is now confirmed and will be fixed soon

Looks a lot like bug #936071.

reply for #18

bug still exists

in reply to #19

I don't doubt it. It looks like there is plugin specific changes that had to happen in line with the code fix. I'll talk with the maintainer.

Can someone please test the attached deb for sina?

Can someone please test the attached deb for sohu?

To test those packages, make sure gwibber-service gets restarted before running gwibber-accounts. You could logout/login to be sure.

well, i use the package gwibber-service-sina_0.9.1-0ubuntu7~test1_all.deb
it shows in terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/gwibber/plugins/sina/gtk/sina/__init__.py", line 165, in on_sina_auth_title_change
    self.ui.get_object("sina_auth_done_label").set_label(_("%s has been authorized by Sina") % str(self.account["username"]))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-4: ordinal not in range(128)

well is ok now all the sina weibo contents showed

Updated sina deb which handles unicode in username

Updated sohu deb which handles unicode in username

here is the traceback:

BTW here is no any FT errors and the plugin is OK now

@tonychee7000: you tested sina right? How about sohu?

reply for #30

i'm sorry that i have no sohu microblog account, but now i can test it,please wait me

@Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)

here is a problem that the sohu plugin can be loaded but in gwibber-accounts it cannot show

here is the traceback:

Loading plugin for sina
Loading plugin for twitter
Loading plugin for identica
Loading plugin for facebook
Loading plugin for sohu

(gwibber-accounts:3071): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large

but it cannot show sohu in the gwibber-accounts (add new account) when i uninstall sina it show sohu(conflict??)

@tonychee7000:
Those both load for me in the gwibber-accounts UI, and I don't get the GDK warning that you do. What icon theme are you using? Maybe your theme is providing icons for those? Could you test with Ambiance or Radiance?

@Ken VanDine

I use the theme Ambiance and icon theme ubuntu-mono-dark, i think we have more user test it

@Ken VanDine

I use the theme Ambiance and icon theme ubuntu-mono-dark, i think we have more user test them

@tonychee7000: can you please paste the output from these commands for me?

When testing gwibber-service-sina (0.9.1-0ubuntu7) and gwibber-service-sohu (0.8.1-0ubuntu6), the original crash is no longer occurring, but I'm getting a new crash after login to the service:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gwibber/accounts.py", line 390, in on_accounts_tree_row_activated
    self.account_show(acct["service"], icon, acct)

    has_secret_key = get_from_keyring(self.account['id'], 'secret_token') is not None
NameError: global name 'get_from_keyring' is not defined

Should I open a new bug for this or should we follow this regression here?

Hi Christopher,

Does the sina plugin have the same problem?

@ James.

Yes, both plugins have the same issue. I just included trace from sohu, but I can get the sina trace if needed.

Are you sure the sina has the same issue? tonychee7000 confirmed that his sina account got added. I have found there is a missing import in the sohu plugin, but it is there in the sina plugin. As far as i can tell this should only affect the sohu plugin.

Can someone please test this fix for sohu?

@ Ken,

I thought it was broken in the sina plugin too, but it's very conceivable I didn't test it correctly:)

At any rate, I'll give your test package a go.

@Ken,

I can confirm the test package for the sohu service now logs in with no issues.

I can also confirm that the sina service plugin does work correctly. Sorry about the confusion with that.

Thanks!

gwibber-service-sina is just working fine.
Thanks.

When can we expect the fixed gwibber-service-sohu package to land in precise-updates?

I've uploaded it to precise-proposed, in the unapproved queue now. Once the ubuntu-sru team approves it you'll see a request here for verification before it goes to precise-updates.

@Ken,

I still don't see the gwibber-service-sohu package in precise-proposed: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html nor do I see it in the precise unapproved queue: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+queue?queue_state=1

Do we have an ETA on when this will make it to -proposed so we can get it moved to -updates?

gwibber-service-sohu_0.8.1-0ubuntu7 accepted into precise-proposed and built. Please test and report your findings to this bug, so we can promote it to -updates (or not) once the testing period is complete.
