use it lengthens the time interval that two clicks are interpreted as a double-click. It can't turn two quick clicks into a single click. I have a mouse that can turn one long press into two clicks: what's happening is that the wire loses continuity for a moment. I can see the xconsole logging a "New" USB device being connected, as it occurs. When it's bad, moving the mouse produces a stream of such logs. But I would recommend Gene start tbird from a command line, to distinguish a tbird configuration fault from a menu action fault. Cheers, David.

You can also reduce the space taken up by initrd files, which are getting rather large nowadays if they are built with MODULES=most rather than MODULES=dep. When you have at least two working kernels, remove any unnecessary backups, copy the older kernel's initrd somewhere else, then rebuild it with MODULES=dep. If that kernel still boots ok, then you probably have a lot more room available now for the next kernel upgrade. Finally, reboot the newer kernel. Cheers, David.

AFAIK grub-install requires a system device name (like /dev/sda) or something that points to it (like the /dev/disk/ symlinks). ¹ I've guessed for partition three on the first HDD.
