Last weekend, I migrated to Debian from Ubuntu(I hate Unity), and I went with Logical Volume installation of Debian. But I did not noticed that my / partition is small (100 MB), although I did created separate LVM's for /usr, /home and /tmp.
After some usage, I noticed that my / partition is approaching 75% usage, so I decided to resize the same.
Here are the steps that I followed-
teleinit 1
umount /home
e2fsck -f /dev/debian/home
Resize the home
resize2fs /dev/debian/home
Extend /
umount /
lvextend -l+100%FREE /dev/debian/root
mount -o remount /
resize2fs /dev/debian/root

After installing GNOME3 and Unity I noticed that that I was getting default non 3D desktop after login. Here is how I fixed it -
You need to change the display settings in BIOS to discrete NVIDA from Integrated Graphics. Please be aware that this is not a energy savings options, but it has higher graphics performance.

I am not very fond of mouse or touchpad, and moreover the ergonomics of the T420 Keyboard and my hand were interfering with my activities on my ThinkPad, so I need to disable it.
Here is how I did it :
Determine the device id - xinput list
Disable touchpad xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 0, where 13 is the device id of touch pad

Recently I got this error while booting a VM off Virtual Box, possibly because I was also using QEMU on my host (Ubuntu 10.04)(KVM).
QEMU KVM supplies this Kernel Module -kvm-intel.ko, which essentially uses VT tech by Intel to enable KVM.
The workaround is to remove the kvm-intel.ko (modprobe -r kvm_intel) when you would want to use Virtual Box and re-insert when you want to use QEMU.
