Description

Steps to reproduce

  • Add a new Twitter account
  • Authorize it (with /pin xxxxxxx)
  • Take a beer

Expected behavior

All three default timelines (Home, answers and DM) should stay in the left column and remain accessible.

Current behavior

After some time (I presume during the first sync after successful auth) the home and DM timeline disapear. The server log show this stack trace:

Complementary info

After the exception occurs, a second twitter account appears in the server manage window (same username, same options). Don't know if it could be linked or not.

Can you provide a debug log? Start smuxi-frontend-gnome from a terminal with -d and paste the last 10-20 lines from the output. Right now it sounds like it could be a bug in Mono but that is a wild guess.

I'll add it ASAP. For now I resolved my problem by manually editing the file ~/.config/smuxi/smuxi-engine.ini and removing all unnecessary entries. Thus to provide the log file I must delete my profile and start over to reproduces the bug. I'll do this before the end of the week.

Here it is.

I've started a fresh smuxi-server session and just after smuxi-frontend-gnome in debug mode. Here are the two complete log file. I stopped the watch after the second twitter engine crash. Hope you have enough data with that.
