Bug after unstable upgrade
Yesterday, after within an upgrade I issued also 'dist-upgrade' and it upgraded 'cups' package. I'm also using Canon i-SENSYS MF4120 multifunctional printer/scanner, so I had drivers from the official Canon site installed ('cndrvcups-common_2.00-2_i386' and 'cndrvcups-ufr2-uk_2.00-2_i386').

fglrx blacked iceweasel?
Yesterday's <squeeze> update included the non-free fglrx driver. At least I think that is what is causing iceweasel to erratically blacken/erase/wipe many of the pages. Are others experiencing this? The browser has become almost completely unusable. Or was there some other update affecting the browser? -f ... 30 Jun 2010 20:55

As of now it just looks like strips of bacon until the image has fully loaded and (only about half the time) refreshes itself to normal.

SATA disk detected as IDE? SOLVED
Hello Amrit. One option of the BIOS of the motherboard was allowing use with much less speed, I don't understand how much how run this, because install XP CD don't detect any SATA disk but Linux treat disk as IDE, and now seems that runs really much more fast, more than twice.
