I wouldn't want to do that for ever video.

I think somethings wrong with the Operating System or something. Anyone got any ideas?

Okay I found out that my problem is indeed the fact that the kernel updated

I ran the package recovery in recovery mode, it didn't fix anything, but I saw this


Directory: usr/src/psb-kernel-source-4.42.0 does not exist


Is this my problem?

Thanks.

Damn, nothing worked. Editing the default didn't work either.

I went into the grub configure file and saw vmlinux-2.6.32-24-generic

I ls'd that directory and saw that there's about 4 files like that but with smaller numbers at th end. I thought this wa the...

Thanks for the reply, but how do I uninstall the kernel or activate the old on from the terminal?

Nice, the updates installed without the error. =D

Thanks for the help. I followed your instructions to uninstall Empathy from Ubuntu Software Center only to be met with an error there. So I went to Synaptic Package Manager and tried it there and it...

and they talk about "this" patch that allows the webcam...

I'm way too settled into this install to ever make another OS switch. But I'll keep that in mind as an option if I ever need to reinstall. Thanks I didn't know about UNB till now. =D

All right thanks. I'll google it and see what I find. If I find a solution I'll mark the thread as solved.

Any ideas?
