I wanted to try Firefox (separate to Iceape and Iceweasel), to find whether it had greater stability and security than Iceape and Iceweasel. [...] I recommend removing Iceweasel if possible. You're no doubt confused that invoking 'firefox' brings up another 'iceweasel' window, but that is how Firefox normally works. If Firefox is already running, invoking 'firefox' again contacts the currently running instance and tells it to show another browser window. Since Iceweasel is Firefox, they use the same communication protocol and will communicate with each other readily--even if that's unintended by you. Remove Iceweasel. You don't need to create a menu entry for firefox; instead you can create a shortcut. Both KDE and Gnome allow you to create shortcuts in folders of your choosing. In Gnome I have a ~/Desktop/Shortcuts folder that contains shortcuts to my favorite programs. The same folder works for KDE also. If you wish to keep both Iceweasel and Firefox on your system, create a separate profile[0] for Firefox so that the two programs don't clobber/corrupt your profile data. Although the programs are essentially the same, slight differences in their bugs could lead to profile data loss. Anyway, the crashes and other problems you experienced earlier with Iceweasel may well have been due to a corrupted profile, so starting with a clean profile for Firefox is a good idea. It's also a good idea to back up your profile folder[1] regularly. I use a 'crontab' script to backup mine. Good luck. -- [0] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager [1] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I have looked in both the top level Internet menu, and in the Debian->Apps->Net menu, and in the Office menu (in case it got inserted in there), and the Other menu, but I cannot find Firefox. How do I run Firefox, if I cannot find it, and, why, when it is installed, and, updated by the orange star icon that shows updates are available, does it not appear in the Applications menus? You really mean FF or iceweasel? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ which firefox /usr/bin/firefox [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ which iceweasel /usr/bin/iceweasel Try: update-menus Hugo Firstly, I have (or, I understood that I have) both Firefox and Iceweasel installed. I wanted to try Firefox (separate to Iceape and Iceweasel), to find whether it had greater stability and security than Iceape and Iceweasel. I was also (in addition to the response above) sent the following instructions, off-list: 1 -you need to find firefox path , just type this command : locate firefox then u will get somthing like : /usr/bin/firefox 2- you have to edit menu by : right-click on Applications then select Edit Menus It kind of worked When I did the locate firefox command, it gave an interesting response. The response had groups of about four lines, with dates in the text. None of the responses had the /usr/bin.firefox path. I then used the alacarte menu editor (the only way that I found, of editing the menus - remember, this is Debian 4.0), and manually inserted Firefox as an entry, with the invocation comand /usr/bin/firefox. Then, when I closed that, and ran the Firefox comand from the menu, it added another session of Iceweasel to my already open Iceweasel windows (I hadn't used Iceweasel for months, due to an application crash, and was bookmarking the windows of the last session, and shutting Iceweasel windows, as I went, so had some Iceweasel windows open), and, renamed the task in the taskbar, to Firefox. I also ran the update-menus command,as mentioned above, and then ran Firefox from the menu, again, and got the same response. I also note that both Firefox and Iceweasel, have the same icon, in the icon editor that I used when I manually added Firefox to the menu. So, now, it appears to me, that the Firefox that is installed (Firefox 2.0.0.15) and Iceweasel (Iceweasel 2.0.0.15) are one and the same.

Hello! package 'foo' from etch-backports depends on package 'bar' from either etch or etch-backports. Both packages are available to apt from both etch and etch-backports.

bios disk order vs OS disk order and grub
I had a complex setup with 4 hd and two controllers. after either one controller (pci card) or one HD went bad (unable to determine the root cause) I lost the ability to write to /home (mdadm raid1 off of the pci card controller). kernel log showed I lost a HD (sdc which is win and lin / and not part of the mdadm) I rebooted. win and lin / are on the first HD on the onboard controller (again PATA). While rebooting, zero HDs were seen on the pci card controller. MB Bios checked failed saying the 1st (on board) HD was reporting as cylinder was outside the range (paraphrasing, sorry, not exact and I did not write it down). Tried to install SIDUX to the stricken 1st HD without the pci card controller installed. It worked and I was able to reboot. Re-installed the pci card w/the mdadm raid1. It all worked. So, I was looking at a MB failure, a possible first HD on the onboard controller failure, or the pci card was knocking off coms on the pci bus. I simplified. All the above is just an explanation of events leading to the current situation. I bit the bullet and purchased a fancy, new fangled SATA HD. Removed the pci controller with the mdadm raid1. with just one SATA HD I installed win. Installed PATA disk1 of the mdadm raid1 to onboard controller. Started to install Debian. Debian installed just fine. Installed Grub to the MBR. rebooted, no OS found. Re-installed Debian (only base system installed, so just as fast as doing recovery), installed Grub to /dev/sda NOT MBR. That worked, however the kernel would not boot. root(hd1,1) was on the menu, edit it to (hd0,1), now kernel boots. so, I have a situation where the install OS saw the HDs one way and the installed OS sees it differently. HD0 is SATA, hd1 is PATA (as I guess grub and the installed Debian sees it, but not as the installer saw it). Of course I edited menu.lst to reflect the correct, working HD numeration, but how do I fix Grub so that everytime I install a new kernel, or re-make the initrd it will come out correct with out manually editing menu.lst? After note: mdadm is happly rebuilding the raid1 from the "seed" PATA HD and a partition on the new, big SATA hd. Even though raid is NOT a backup, pretty slick. /home is intact with all data. Of course, I saw no reason to have the OS on any raid, this being a home box, only the data is important, not recovery time. -- Damon L.

I would first check if the "on_ac_power" command works reliably on your
system. If you run
on_ac_power; echo $?
then you should get 0 (true) if you are connected to AC power and 1
(false) if you are running on battery. (See "man on_ac_power"; the "echo
$?" part is necessary to print the exit status.)
If that is OK then your script should work like this:
=
#!/bin/sh
# Check to see if we are running on AC power, and if so,
# override mystery program overriding laptop-mode.conf
. "${PM_FUNCTIONS}"
on_ac_power || exit $NA
case "$1" in
hibernate|suspend)
;;
thaw|resume)
hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
;;
*) exit $NA
;;
esac
==
The double pipe "||" is the logical OR operator. If on_ac_power returns
true then the OR expression is already true overall and the shell will
therefore not even bother to evaluate the second argument; it goes
directly to the case structure. If on_ac_power returns false, on the
other hand, then the shell has to evaluate the second argument, which
makes it exit with status $NA.
Note: I have to admit that I am not entirely sure about the role of the
$NA variable; I assume it is properly defined in the context of these
scripts since many of the other sleep.d hooks use it in the same way.

Re: Iceweasel freezes and iceape vulnerabilities and instability
Did a cursory bit of looking at the site -- it looks like the image in question is not actually a "popup" per se (i.e. a secondary window that gets opened) but is just a particularly obnoxious application of Javascript that's creating a div on top of the page and inserting this form and image into it. Or at least that's what a bit of cursory inspection with the DOM Inspector seems to suggest (also, if you hold down your move-window key and click, the popup is fixed in place within the browser window, it's not a separate window to X). It's the same thing that e.g. gmail uses to display that little "loading..." status blurb in the upper-right corner that sometimes covers up useful links. So the popup blocker couldn't work, there is no external window popping up. If you turn off javascript completely, that ought to fix it, though probably at the "cost" of meaning this website won't load at all. It also displays an "alert" if you attempt to close the chat; my memory is fuzzy but I'm pretty sure that specifying whether you can select that text is a part of the Javascript standard. Can you select the text in other alert boxes? Anyway, the browser is doing its job; it is just possible to do some really annoying things with Javascript. If it bothers you sufficiently, turn off javascript.

This makes it largely useless so far as I am concerned. So I've installed the version from Testing and propose to stay with that unless and until these bugs are fixed.

Since IW 3.0 became available in the Lenny/testing repositories yesterday, I have been running it with reasonable success. There are times when it seems a little slower and a number of my favourite add-ons/extensions have yet to be upgraded for compatibility, but so far so good. I have also been able to print using CUPS.

Ron Johnson wrote: The "inner" scroll region? No sluggishness or slowdown. Noticeable CPU usage by /usr/bin/X11/X when I rapidly jerk the scroll bar up and down, but that's normal. Are ya using the NV or Nvidia driver? Sorry. The nvidia driver. I forgot to ask if you were running a high resolution monitor, perhaps 1600x1200 or greater? Are you running any of the 3d accelerated desktop, or regular 2d window manager? Would you mind posting your xorg.conf? I have tried EXA and XAA options to no avail. My desktop is a minimal Openbox and mrxvt affair. I would love to run Intel graphics, but as of yet they don't offer any discrete cards; my ASUS A8N-Premium works just fine except for the Firefox slow downs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
