Um... yeah, I don't think I'll ever be letting Firefox run as root.
Surely there is some permission change that can be made to avoid this?

Thanks for the responses.

Hate to be redundant, but... bump! Failures like these are a great embarrassment to linux in the popular eye.
Does anyone understand what the problem is?
I couldn't get 1.0.6 to install on my amd64 system, but the 1.0.7 test release does.

Also worth noting that I seem to have to...
I just upgraded to 8.10. The font in firefox has changed to something narrower. I'm confused as to why this changed at all - did the font itself change? The default sans font in firefox is set to...
I upgraded, am on 2.6.27-11-generic, and the problem seems to be fixed. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for the response. Does that mean I need to switch to Intrepid to fix this?
I'm currently running Hardy, 2.6.24-23-rt.
Sorry to bump, but I just deleted 18 gigabytes of log files (kern, syslog, and messages seem to each cap out at 6 gig). Frustrating.
Seems to be related to this bug:

I've resorted to revoking write permissions on
/var/log/messages
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/kern.log
to keep my disk from filling up.
But the dd process is still working...

Here's the situation, concretely: I use the Georgia Tech wireless network often, and it requires logging in with a web form. It's mostly trivial to write a bash script to do this with wget.

"Disappointment" is probably the perfect word to describe 8.04. It's not a disaster, but for me, it broke more than it fixed. It definitely made me learn the lesson that I should NOT just routinely...

I hit this problem during the transition to Hardy (some time while I was using the beta), and never got around to fixing it until now.

I'd still like to figure out where exactly the panel config is stored, so I could have fixed this without annihilating the whole panel setup.
My biggest hurdle to solving this was not realizing...
Okay, sorry about the premature question-asking, but I was in a bit of a panic.
This did the trick:

Actually, I'm getting pretty desperate here - if there's a way to just restore the default gnome-panel settings, that would be fine too.
I recently added a handful of applets to gnome-panel. Gnome-panel is now not responding, and sits here eating 50% cpu time (one of two cores). How can I remove applets when gnome-panel isn't...
