I recently did a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 two days ago. Or at least I thought it was 12.04, but actually 12.04.1. Now I'm having errors popping up from the grub loader. Error: no video mode activated which was apparently resolved in this bug# 699802. However these workarounds are for 11.xx…

I had used Shotwell happily previously then updated to Natty last week.
Despite Shotwell showing on the tool bar on screen, when clicked, nothing happened, and it ignored my SD card when loaded.
I read all sorts of remedies and tried everything to no avail. When I next turned on the laptop, Ocelot…
