please help :-) craig

craig,

it looks like it was having a problem with establishing a connection to twitter. It could access the API. I've noticed this on mine a few times, I'm going to look at putting in some sort of feedback to the user, some sort of timeout for connecting. Otherwise as you have seen it just sits there loading and you have no idea what is going on.

I've been looking into some of the random crashes that seem to happen in witter. I believe that they are being caused by 3rd party libraries. I'm working on updating the twitter library that is used. Also I'm going to take a look at the dependencies that come from the maemo repos see if they are all up to date, things like httplib2 and oauth.

umm.... do you have a space between the python2.5 and the /opt/witter/witter.py ?

ok so elsewhere in the thread (not that I've read all 79 pages) there's a few mentions of ways of resetting witter. try

Another issue is inputting the authorisation pin number from twitter. When configuring the account, it seems important to not hit 'OK' when configuring Oauth, instead letting the web browser gain focus.

Once you've got the pin from twitter, then you can task back to witter and press ok. I had a few situations yesterday when I couldn't actually input the pin number once I'd authorised through the web browser and I think it was because of that.

Thanks ... that appears to have sorted the major problem I was having with witter ... I'm still finding the extras version pretty unstable though, so will probably be using khweeteur as a main twitter client (now that I've figured out the double click it's really grown on me!) ... witter does have some advantages though, so nice to have both! ... thanks again! x

Could you let me know if running it as root prevents the crashes (not that you should do this generally)?

Is the problem you see now that the N900 menu displays "timeline", you get notifications of new tweets, but that the timeline UI itself doesn't get populated and the app is apparently locked up?

Would be good to know as I was seeing this yesterday, and would help to resolve the problem.
