devel-su

password : rootme

2- Then type nano /usr/share/accounts/services/twitter-share.service

- The content of the twitter-share.service file will be displayed :

3- Scroll (with the help of the arrows keys) till you find something like below :

<!– <mime>image/*</mime> –>


<!– <mime>video/*</mime> –>

4- Remove comments from this code (with the help of the arrows keys) and press ctrl on the on-screen keyboard and press X and then press Y and click enter to save the modified file !
