troubleshooting
* Today I finally went ahead and did 39 critical updates including, I think, the kernel.

* GMail on Firefox on Ubuntu has been having trouble attaching files about half the time. It's annoying.
* A few days ago, I lost my taskbar, and had difficulty rebuilding it. I was eventually able to add stuff back with Panel Settings > Add Widgets (thanks in part to Jeff's help). However, I still don't know how to add back the "System Settings > Display" as a widget.
* even Firefox isn't obeying my Compose file anymore: e.g. now it's making ć instead of c-cedilla and '+t produces nothing (it should produce 't). Aaahh!
As we can see, emacs is reading the Compose file (in fact, it's also reading .XCompose, which is a copy of it!):
and the cedilla works.
But kate and Firefox aren't:
and the cedilla doesn't work!
The point is that Firefox used to read it! I thought this was due to being a GTK app.
* I just upgraded Flash with:
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer. This worked, and I can listen to YouTube and use Google Streetview again. Did they choose the same day to stop supporting older versions of Flash?* GMail on Firefox on Ubuntu has been having trouble attaching files about half the time. It's annoying.
