Me Menu is broken

  • 772

The Me Menu on the top panel does not let me type a status to post to Gwibber or Pidgin. It simply is a grayed-out box that says "Post message..." I cannot type into it. Also, the status selector only works (not grayed out) when Pidgin is logged in; I cannot go from offline to available.

I already tried re-installing indicator-session, indicator-applet-session, indicator-me, gwibber, and gwibber-service, and removing and re-adding the applet.

Edit: Here's the console output when running Gwibber. It throws some errors, but none seem to be relevant.

  1. Also, the status selector only works (not grayed out) when Pidgin is logged in; I cannot go from offline to available.

    I think this is a "feature" -- you need first start an IM client to control it from MeMenu.

    Same with Gwibber -- you need to start Gwibber manually (ar add it to startup application) and then you'll be able to write messages...

    Editor: Problem with switching back to available after setting "offline" is known bug -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-me/+bug/550824
