Can't get token on Hotot-gtk #450

Open marcosestevesbarbosa opened 11 years ago

marcosestevesbarbosa commented 11 years ago

The screen to get token don't shows up. This bug is for Hotot-gtk only. Hotot-qt works fine.

Got the same issue :(

ghost commented 11 years ago

I cannot reproduce this issue on my laptop. please provide more details, especially the version of hotot & your operating system, the output in terminal.

ipedrazas commented 11 years ago

Reproducing this might be easy if... you have a fresh installation of ubuntu 12.10

Just install using sudo apt-get install hotot

try to log in to twitter and you will end up with a blank screen.

version: Hotot - version 0.9.8.7 (Ada)

I didn't install the ppa because it fails for 12.10 with a 404 not found

It's been working fine in my other 3 ubuntus, but with a fresh installation it seems that there's something dodgy.

Anyway, here's the thing. When you start hotot and you have the scree "Token does not exist", at that point I can see the About. However, once I try to get the token, I just get a blank screen... and the about is a blank screen as well.

In case you wonder, yes, Hotot-qt works fine

I have the same issue, gtk not working, qt working fine. Ubuntu 12.10.

maxroby commented 11 years ago

Coping settings files from qt version to gtk version makes the second work fine.

ghost commented 11 years ago

OK. issue reproduced. I will try to fix it this weekend

rickdekker commented 11 years ago

Also have the same problem on a fresh 12.10 install, how are you getting on with the fix? I'll try copying the qt settings as mentioned above as a work around. Looking forward to use this app.

ghost commented 11 years ago

I tried hotot 0.9.8.10 on a fresh 12.10, and everything works fine. Can any of you upload your configuration files created by gtk version?

georgelappies commented 11 years ago

Same issue here, blank screen with no network activity after trying to auth with twitter. This is on Mint 14

georgelappies commented 11 years ago

@xnreformer not sure you will be able to use the configs files as it creates a unique a security code authorizing the app with twitter. But the work around to install hotot-qt does work. Just install it (very small install) and replace the files in

~/.config/hotot/

with the files in

~/.config/hotot-qt/

EDIT:

Just wanted to say thanks for the ccol app to the devs as well ;)

There are two different hotot-gtk versions. One is based on libwebkitgtk-1.0 and another one is based on libwebkitgtk-3.0. The libwebkitgtk-1.0 has many rendering bugs on ubuntu since 11.04. The 'blank screen' bug is one of them.

In the PPA, the libwebkitgtk-1.0 based version is wrongly provided for 12.10 users. The PPA maintainer @csslayer should be responsible for this.

run this command in terminal 

dpkg-query -s hotot-gtk | grep python-webkit

If there is any output, you are using the libwebkitgtk-1.0 based version.

But I don't think this bug is a big problem in hotot 0.9.8.10, even with libwebkitgtk-1.0 based version installed. The blank screen does show up when you click the sign in button, but goes away once hotot connect to the twitter authentication server.

Hi I'm actually affected by the blank-login-screen reported in this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hotot/+bug/1019752

I'm actually using hotot 0.9.8.10

autra commented 11 years ago

I linked the comment of @xnreformer in Launchpad. Let's hope they will fix it !

autra commented 11 years ago

FYI adding the ppa of hotot-team solve the problem for me : $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hotot-team $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade

brunoew commented 10 years ago

Thanks autra, it works fine to me too!
