One logical volume active, one not in initramfs

I have a VM that won't boot because it can't find the root device. The system (Debian 7.9) uses a volume group "markov02" with 2 volumes, root and swap_1. In busybox ls /dev/markov02 shows only swap_1, although lvm lvs lists both. vgchange -ay says it's is activating 2 volumes, and afterwards ls

It looks like an X issue rather than a kernel issue, but I could easily be mistaken. You might want to check the system logs (/var/log/messages or journalctl depending on whether you're using SysVInit or SystemD) for kernel error messages. I had a problem last week on my OpenSUSE box: X refus

Java (aka icedtea) plugin for iceweasel, settings

I can pass options to java programs by setting the environment variable JAVA_ARGS. This works by ultimately passing the contents of the variable on the command line to the java runtime binary, such as /usr/bin/java; well behaved packages do this themselves by using the shell functions in java-wrap
