I discovered that Cheese crashes on my HP laptop. The good news is that guvc works just fine. I'm happy with it so bye bye, Cheese!
I just got the AMD Catalyst 13.4 stable. Unlike the beta releases, the fglrx deb packages have the version numbers, so that's a good thing!
Ubuntu 13.04 upgrade prompts is showing up now. I'll keep waiting till they get their issues sorted.
