When I type xlock and press return key, I am getting the following error:
Unknown mode: xlock: bad command line option "swarm"
What should I do? I just need the basic xlock screen locking functionality.

When I was using AntiX, I liked how I could just type "xlock" in a terminal and it would lock the screen until I came back and typed my password. I saw that there was no "xlock" package, so googling around, I saw it was replaced with xlockmore and xlockmore-gl, neither of which there seems to be a package for in the Squeeze repositories. I tried xscreensaver, but I prefer the simplicity of xlock (and I like that it doesn't leave a daemon runnig when not in use). Is there a way to safely install it, or should I just be looking for an alternative?

Now, when I try to boot, I'm not able to boot into Windows 7, or any other OS (I get an error: bootmgr is compressed, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to continue, which restarts the system and the same cycle continues.

I upgraded from 13.1. I'm using Xfce4, I've been using a button on my lower panel to launch xlock. Been working fine the last month. Upgraded to 13.37rc3.pi this morning.
Used my computer today for several hours today (after the upgrade). No problems. Hit my xlock launcher a couple hours ago, animation started. Turned monitor off. Then a few minutes ago, when I turned my monitor back on, black/blank screen, no password prompt. Killed xlock (had to use -s 9); no change. Saw xscreensaver was running, killed that too. No effect on my locked screen.
I then killed kdm and logged back in to an Xfce session. Back to normal now. I hit my xlock button. Got an animation up, typed in my password, and got back to my desktop no problem.
Here's something for starters:

I'm creating a usb device driver that needs to be able to read from two different endpoints. I couldn't see any way of having two read functions in the driver, so I got round this by reading from one of the endpoints with read, and the other with ioctl.However this hasn't worked, the ioctl call from c returns -1. I added a printk command in the driver in the ioctl function, however looking at kern.log I can see that this function is never being called. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem called be, or a better method of being able to read from two different endpoints?

I'm getting this error while booting.
I recently upgraded Ubuntu, however I have two problems with the upgrade.
1) When ever starting up my computer, after selecting my operating system (from grub2) I receive an error stating "error no argument specified press any key to continue" after pressing any key my computer starts up. How can I remove (fix) the error?
2) immediately after Firefox starts it freezes. I see the screen saying that Firefox has crashed but I am unable to click on any of the choices (restore session, start new session). I tried uninstalling it from the repository and then reinstalling it, however, that had no effect.
I have no problem removing Firefox completely (and losing all of my preferences) in order to solve the problem. The only problem is that I do not know how to reinstall Firefox (other then the way I tried). I also have no problem reinstalling Ubuntu, and I might even do so I just want to wait until I am sure that that would no mess up grub any more.
