Unity Gwibber lens doesn't work 12.10

  • 772

Is there something Specific I am needing to do to get the unity Gwibber/Social lens to work.

I have gone into system settings and added google account, twitter account and facebook account. When I go to the lens however nothing is displayed at all its blank. I search any term including my name and it states nothing to display. So it remains blank.

If I start gwibber itself it has found and does see my accounts new messages and posts.

Any hints on what to try?

    I believe that you have disabled Amazon shopping results via Privacy settings. Doing so would also disable any lenses that use internet results, such as Gwibber. Re enable Include online search results, to get the Gwibber lens back.

    If you would like to disable Amazon Online results, open the terminal and run this command:

    sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping

    This is for 64bit OS.

    For 32bit OS, run this instead:

    unity-lens-shopping:i386

    Alternatively, you can search for these packages in the Software Centre and remove them manually.
