Tech Patterns :: Switching from Debian Iceweasel to Firefox, permanently. The problem with Iceweasel and why I am now using FirefoxBecause Iceweasel has had a consistent pattern of bugs and major failures in Debian over the past few years, leading up to the most recent set, I decided to finally give up, raise the white flag, and start running Firefox from www.mozilla.com instead.
Before I hear from the legions of Debian fanboys, none of whom will pay for my new laptop I would need to get if I kept using Iceweasel on a laptop I run (cpu runs around 70-80% at 1.4 gigaherz) with Debian Testing (as of 11-12-2009), or who will explain how I am supposed to use Iceweasel with my complicated bookmarks if it crashes every time I try to scroll down my bookmark folder list when I am trying to create a bookmark (bug first reported in Mozilla August 2009!
I'd like to say, I'm sorry about the Iceweasel groups problems, I'm sorry the dev isn't into it anymore, and I'm sorry that it's a complicated package. Doing this requires a few changes, so I'll outline the changes here: HOWTO debian, cheat sheet. Carlo Wood, March 2007 Table of contents Finding things If you want to find something, there are several classes of objects that you can start with. Click on the link describing what you already have. PackagesThese are the debian packages. They have a name. Packages When looking for information, you normally first want to find the package name. Dpkg -l The package names are listed in the second column. Dpkg -l name Package files These are the .deb files that contain a package. Information about a package file can be obtained with the command: dpkg --info package.deb This should extract the name of this package: dpkg --info package.deb | grep '^Source: ' | sed -e 's/Source: //' Sources Sources are normally not installed.
Installed files If you have a file /path/filename installed, and you want to know what package it belongs to (if any), then issue the following command: dpkg -S /path/filename This will print name: /path/filename. Other files sudo apt-file update Then, search for the filename using, A simple introduction to working with LVM. Posted by Steve on Wed 28 Jun 2006 at 21:22 The logical volume manager allows you to create and manage the storage of your servers in a very useful manner; adding, removing, and resizing partitions on demand.
Getting started with LVM can be a little confusing to newcomer so this guide intends to show the basics in a simple manner. There several pieces of terminology that you'll need to understand to make the best use of LVM. The most important things you must know are: physical volumes These are your physical disks, or disk partitions, such as /dev/hda or /dev/hdb1 . These are what you'd be used to using when mounting/unmounting things. Using LVM we can combine multiple physical volumes into volume groups . volume groups A volume group is comprised of real physical volumes, and is the storage used to create logical volumes which you can create/resize/remove and use. Logically these are stacked from top to bottom like this: Dia source file Creating A Volume Group Working with logical volumes.
