[ubuntu-za] Problems since last round of "major" updates

[Jan Greeff]

Robin, for what it's worth, I also did the recent updates running on 
Ubuntu 12.04, my Libre office seems fine. My USB external hard drive is 
also working fine. Somebody more au fait than I might be able to comment 
as to whether the problem is not related to the updates and if so, what 
the cause might be.
