Anyway, I attached this log that I got from the console. So it appears that Adium can log in to facebook, but can't initialize the chat.

From some testing, I think I can say that this is all because I'm not usually logged into facebook chat when I visit facebook.com in my browser. Adium doesn't by itself click "go online"; it just assumes that I'm available for chat as soon as it logs in.

Sorry for breaking up this ticket into so many parts; I didn't think to do any testing before creating it.

I'd like to see your Adium Debug Window logging from before this part; a failure has already occurred at the time this parsing failure happens, as we have attempted to load channel(null).facebook.com. (null) should have been a number gleaned from a previous page.

Please email your complete log of attempting to connect to only Facebook with no other accounts connected or connecting to me, referencing #10073 in your subject.

I'm seeing this problem, too, and it's recent. I had the same problem on an SVN build, upgraded to the Beta, and still see it. My guess is that Facebook changed something yesterday or the day before. I emailed my Facebook-account-only log to you, evands.

#10168 and #10167 look like duplicates of this bug.

Just confirming this problem on two Macbooks at our office. Dang, my wife just LOVED the facebook chat addition. It's the reason she started using "the green ducky". Good luck.

I am always logged into the chat. but I still have no resolution here. The new addition simply is faulty. Can we get some advice on how to fix it?

Facebook has changed some detail about the way their chat works, so this is something the Adium developers have to fix. My guess is there's no way for you to fix it besides patience. Sorry!

Facebook isn't serving up the buddylist JSON, even to their own chat client in-browser. The buddylist is only refreshed for people who are already on it. That is, if someone is logged on when you open a Facebook page, and then signs off, this information is sent, but no new users can appear.

Here's what's coming back from an update poll POST to buddy_list.php (from Firebug):

for (;;);{"error":1348009,"errorSummary":"Generic Error","errorDescription":"An error occurred, please try logging in again.","payload":null,"bootload":[{"name":"js\/common.js.pkg.php","type":"js","src":"http:\/\/static.ak.fbcdn.net\/rsrc.php\/pkg\/60\/105143\/js\/common.js.pkg.php"}]}

Can anyone else confirm this using Firebug or Wireshark?
