Today, after I rebooted after an upgrade a day or two ago, suddenly there
are no icons on my desktop in xfce. Usually it has a few filesystems and
some random other things, but today it is blank. The menus are there as
usual, though, so I can still use the thing.

There's a good chance it's not your doing. The mailing list archives
suggest a lot of people have had similar ptoblems lately.
My gdm3 failed today.
I'm looking for a file format for images that plays nicely with revision
control. Ideally I'd like to edit them while seeing what I'm editing,
whether it's a line drawing (like inkscape) or a pixel map.
And I'd like to keep the whole thing under revision control (like
monotone, or git, or such.

When aptitude is upgrading a system, it first downloads a whole lot of
packages into cache, and then installs them. This means there has to be
enough disk spoace somewhere for both the old system and the downloaded
packages.

I'm still running squeeze. For some reason, when I run emacs now, it
dieplays all my C and C++ files with a variable-width font, in which the
indentations I've been using have become microscopic. What's more,
carefully counted-out ASCII tables and diagrams have become unreadable.
Why is this?

When I search for ways to upgrade, all I find it people having trouble
with grub2.
I can't find the recommended upgrade path.
I have a laptop that boots squeeze using grub-legacy. The squeeze
release notes tell me that during upgrade from lenny I had the option to
chain-load grub2 from grub.

By holding one key down all the time, all the other keys I type register
properly. For example, while holding the 'a' key down with one hand,
I can easily type 'xterm' with the other.
Then, of course, I can use xterm, which does not have this problem.

Just upgraded a squeeze system to wheezy. It rebooted and ran just fine
(except that my scanner still doesn't work, but that's another issue.)
Then I did dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc. It checked it was safe to adopt the
new parallel boot, and subsequently the machine booted faster.
But today it

The ancient laptop in question has about 24M main memory, a 2G hard
drive, a plug-in floppy drive, a CD drive, and a 10Mhz coaxial ethernet
PCMCIA card. (Remember those?)
The hard drive will probably fail one of these years. I'm surprised it
hasn't already.
It runs an ancient Windows system, p
On my Toshiba D-VR7KC2 DVD recorder I have recorded some video on a DVD-
RW, using the +VR recording format.
But I'm unable to play it on my wheezy system in either VLC or the Gnome

I have a script that runs at boot time. It should really be rerun every
time my pppoe connection has come up and has created device ppp0 for me.

I'm doing now. Where?

I found an .odf validator online at http://opendocumentfellowship.com/
