Soon after I installed Ubuntu 10.04 and began using Gwibber, Gwibber stopped working, not only Gwibber but I couldn’t get Ubuntu One or the ‘MeMenu’ to work at all either.

We bought a video camera little while back. I have been dragging my feet about getting a video editing ‘setup’—it is a dv camera so I need firewire to transfer plus the software to capture and edit. I’ve done some editing, but it has been a few years now. I woud expect everything to be [...]
