   Ack! My avatar is not updating in GNu Social. I can upload a file, crop it, and it claims success... but the icon is the default "chess piece" icon when I am done. Grrrr. And, yes, I have "git pulled" just now... ideas?

     I did see this statement in the logs for my GNU Social instance: "Opportunistic queue manager passed execution time/item handling limit without being out of work." When I get back from shopping I will look into that. Suggestions welcome (maybe it's just a red herring.... like Communism... ?)

     Maybe turning off Opportunistic queue manager off temporarily would help?

     I switched from OpportunisticQM (even disabled the plugin) to the old Queuedaemon. This appears to have no effect. I'm even running a Stomp server. No effect. Still cannot get an uploaded avatar to actually appear as an avatar. No other useful debugging messages in logs that I can find...

     @steve Puzzling. I thought there was something in /scripts for that, but I was wrong. Have you checked ownership & permission for /avatar and the files it contains?

     Permissions were the very first thing I checked. They are fine. I am beginning to suspect that it's the connection to php5-gd and libgd3 that is the problem. It looks like GNU Social is failing to make the different-sized thumbnails and failing silently. This is frustrating. php5-gd and libgd3 are BOTH installed...

     @steve that just means it needs another chance to be finished. To run the queue for max_execution_time seconds, access your site's /main/runqueue URL

     @steve I'm back from a festival out in the woods, I'll see if I can replicate your problem tomorrow.

     Thanks! I've tried a number of things (re-installing php-gd, checking to see if I have to install graphics extensions via pear or pecl, looking through the code for the place where the resize happens - can't find that one, actually). No progress. I hope you have better luck. I'm assuming it's just some missing dependency but there are no error messages and I've looked over the INSTALL guide several times to try to find the missing package(s)...

     The resizing happens when requesting a size, if it has not been generated and cached yet. Oh, and which kind of image is it?
     
     Could you check your 'avatar' table in the database? Do something like:
     SELECT avatar.original, avatar.width, avatar.filename, avatar.url FROM avatar JOIN user ON profile_id=user.id WHERE nickname='steve';
     
     1. Do you have one with an 'original' value of '1'?
     2. Does a file with that 'filename' exist in your 'avatar' folder in the GNU social root?
     3. Has any other 'width' (or height) values than the one from 'original' been generated?

     ....also, what happens if you turn of the #Gravatar plugin? I think people have had problems with it before. If the Gravatar plugin is acting up, at least I know where to look :]

     @mmn I will attack each of these questions later today when I get home from work. Thanks for the lines of attack!

     OK, to answer your questions:
     
     1. "Do you have one with an 'original' value of '1'?" YES
     
     2. "Does a file with that 'filename' exist in your 'avatar' folder in the GNU social root?" YES. In fact, here is the link to the goofy profile photo I uploaded: https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/avatar/3-382-20140803173753.png
     
     3. "Has any other 'width' (or height) values than the one from 'original' been generated?" NO
     
     4. "....also, what happens if you turn of the #Gravatar plugin?" IN PROGRESS

     OK, and the answer to the final test - disabling the Gravatar plugin - is... _it is the cause of the problem_. Disabling it immediately returns my actual uploaded avatar image to service...

     @steve cool, then I'll check if it's a quick fix for the #Gravatar plugin. Preferrably I don't want to spend time on fixing a tracking plugin which remotely links a trackable md5 hash of a user's email. It'd be best if people didn't use it .)

     I am merely permanently disabling Gravatar in my instance.
