I'm not sure why you mention all of the other usb devices. The error with the usb disk was this:
Jul 18 14:59:14 localhost6 kernel: [544817.211569] Write(10): 2a 00 00 01 83 e0 00 00 09 00 Jul 18 14:59:14 localhost6 kernel: [544817.211581] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 99296 Jul 18 14:59:14 localhost6 kernel: [544817.212024] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdb] Unhandled error code Jul 18 14:59:14 localhost6 kernel: [544817.212026] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdb] I believe that "disk IO error" means just that, rather than a corrupt database. Since you deleted the file, there's no way to tell now. It would have been much more helpful to rename the file for testing so you would still have the original. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gwibber in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1027485 Title: gwibber-accounts crashed with OperationalError in Delete(): disk I/O error Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Deleting a twitter account under Edit>Accounts triggers this error.
