That doesn't make sense for me. Gwibber doesn't use any usb disk, all it is on my hard drive laptop. It cannot be related.
I think that the sqlite database could be corrupt and raise a OperationalError exception. Could you tell me where is the standard path for the sqlite database? Also, I ran the SMART test for my disk and it is all fine. sudo smartctl -l selftest -i -H /dev/sda smartctl 5.43 2012-06-05 r3561 [i686-linux-3.5.0-4-generic] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-12 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Hitachi Travelstar 5K500.B Device Model: Hitachi HTS545050B9A300 Serial Number: 100524PBN404B7H05XGL LU WWN Device Id: 5 000cca 5f0ce2db8 Firmware Version: PB4OC60F User Capacity: 500.107.862.016 bytes [500 GB] Sector Size: 512 bytes logical/physical Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: ATA-8-ACS revision 6 Local Time is: Mon Jul 23 09:53:34 2012 CEST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
