HTTPClient::ConnectTimeoutError while using 'fb_graph' gem

I have one rails project and two machinges. One is running Ubuntu 10.04 and the other 12.04 beta. I'm using the 'fb_graph' gem on the 10.04 machine all works fine, but when I do on the 12.04 machine things like

me = FbGraph::User.me(token).fetch

I get

HTTPClient::ConnectTimeoutError: execution expired
