Re: [REOPENED] grub2-common and other grub packages [critica
I got caught by this, but there is an easy work-around: While on the grub menu, use the grub 'E' (editor) feature to replace root=UUID=... by root=/dev/mapper/VG10-sid replacing VG10-sid with your logical volume name. Press F10 to boot. After booting edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and apply the same modif...

Re: Post your Command line tricks
Alternative to chroot: Suppose you can't boot into one installed system, but you have one or more other systems installed on that machine: Boot into another install that still boots OK, then Mount the system that will not boot on a mount point, e.g /mnt/sushi Run the command sudo systemd-nspawn -D ...

It is currently still debated whether learning exotic programming languages will contribute to better (voluminous) growth of the neckbeard. But especially Lisp/Scheme and Haskell have recently been claimed to tremendously accelerate facial hair growth, and therefore regained popularity among the no...

Re: kernel installer script
OK.
But asking to run it after it has just finished is ... not looking good.
Suggestion:
test if /boot/grub/grub.cfg is newer than tmpfile. If it is, grub-update has been run by the script and there is no need to ask the question to run it again.
Just trying to make it better than it is already. :)

Re: kernel installer script
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub is installed when you install grub- more precisely any of the existing grub packages. If grub is installed on your system, any kernel install will trigger update-grub, so you don't have to re-run it. if grub is not installed on your system and you do a kernel in...

Re: kernel installer script
Good script, pidsley.
Nice style too.
One remark: installing a new kernel automatically triggers a grub-update.
No need to run an extra one.
I will be using this too.
Thanks

Re: Kernel 3.13-0.towo-siduction
It works for me, but there are others that seem to have the same problem, booting into a dark screen, as you can see by by googling for "linux kernel 3.13 black screen" and limiting the search to last week.

Re: emacsen-common (serious) #735155
Thanks.
I am not using the debian version of emacs. I use the 'trunk' version from source, so I am not affected.

Re: [RESOLVED] urxvt spawns extra process
No problem.
I have added that solution in a response to the bug report.
I am curious what the maintainer will come up with. :D

Re: [RESOLVED] urxvt spawns extra process
There is a very simple solution to get rid of that extra process:
Just install the Debian package as normal,
then run the following commands as root:
BINGO!

Re: [RESOLVED] urxvt spawns extra process
They consider being able to see the urxvt process in the 'w' command to be more important than that extra process.
As a consequence, from a security point of view, it makes sense to do it like that.
I was using xterm and eshell in emacs anyway, as I said before, and I will continue to do so.
