Can't add facebook-account

I removed the entries in couchdb manualy. After cleaning I tried to add my account:

Updating...
Saving...
Could not identify preference: username
Could not identify preference: session_key

But it seems to work again. My Name is with spaces and an ü, so it could be that there is a problem with the ü.

I could add the Facebook account using the gwibber-accounts program, but not from Gwibber's Accounts dialog. It didn't show the Add button. I also deleted the databases manually before proceeding.

affects me too. It only works by running manually gwibber-accounts

please install gwibber 2.30.1 from lucid-proposed. it should solve the
problem

Version 2.30.1 didn' solve the problem for me, i still get the same behaviour.

2.30.1 doesn't just immediately fix the bug, the problem is really that facebook.com is rejecting some requests sent from gwibber. 2.30.1 reduces the amount of queries we send to facebook and greatly reduces the amount of data gwibber pulls down. So we need enough users to get the upgrade that gwibber (all gwibber users collectively, not per user) get down below the threshold facebook has set before it will always work for everyone. Until then it is going to be hit and miss, just like prior to 2.30.1.
