After a recent upgrade with debian/testing, I noticed that ssh would
pop up a window asking for my password, and this would be AFTER
running ssh-add.
Turns out that I needed to read this bit in

I am running debian/testing across a number of machines, all mostly up
to date (usually any given machine is no more than a week behind).
Some time ago, maybe a couple of months, I started noticing some
problems with my automounted NFS mounts, and wondering if anyone else
has noticed something sim
Did some more testing. All of the problems seems to be client side.
Dropping back to 2.6.32, both automounts and the flock $0 script work over NFS.
But did discover something interesting.
After a fresh boot, the follow both work with 2.6.32:

Sounds like you may need to tune your filesystem. If fsync() is

Google is switching (has switched by now?) all of it's servers over to
ext4. A web search will turn up more details on the subject.

I just switched to not using any xorg.conf at all, which I think is
the ``new'' recommendation. I put new in quotes because I think I saw
someone at work the other day say something like ``You've not needed

Some tools I've been using lately are apt-mark and "dpkg-query --show".
The following UNTESTED commands (ran as a normal user):

dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Package}\n' | grep -v -F
apt-thinks-you-installed.txt > rest.t
