drush stopped in 10.9

My drush broke. Also, macports seems to have broken their package. The fastest way to install drush on Mac OS 10.9 is via the command line:

sudo php -d detect_unicode=0 /usr/lib/php/install-pear-nozlib.phar
sudo pear channel-discover pear.drush.org
sudo pear install drush/drush

The documentation is at http://pear.drush.org/.

cds_root: command not found.

I changed to a new computer and I had to reinstall my Cadence 5141. I came across something that I didn't expect when I ran icfb:

cds_root: command not found.

This was unexpected. In the dfII/bin/bin64 directory, I also found that there was a cds_root file and that worked fine. After some trial and error, I realized that ic5141 is probably 32-bit.

I have Debian as AMD64, so I had to add the i386 packages for 32-bit support.

dpkg --add-architecture i386

apt-get update

and then you add the libraries.

apt-get install ia32-libs

screen resolution in virtual box

I've found that it's a bit interesting getting the correct resolution for my Mac when I am running X Window on Debian through Virtualbox. I have just had to play with resolutions until it works. You can see available resolutions with:

xrandr

You then use the -s flag to pick something. Because I have a virtual machine, I picked something arbitrary.

Firefox on a bare Debian install

I wanted Firefox because I had a VPN plugin that I needed for a project. The "barebones" Debian installation that I did need some extra tweaking to work. There's an Ubuntu build for Firefox.

echo -e "\ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29
apt-get update
apt-get install firefox-mozilla-build

The issue next was that I was missing some libraries. You will need to get those libraries which were for audio and glib something. Just search for them in the packages and install them and it will all work.
