Replace with your debian-sys-maint password.

I fiddled about and eventually developed a filesystem level fix. Just go to the folder:
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers
And delete the ftp folder!

First of all, you have make sure the latest version of compiz installed.

Go to CompizConfigs Settings Manager and look for “Windows Rules” under Windows Management category. Enable “Windows Rules” and go to “No ARGB visuals” use Window Class, click Grab and then click in virtualbox window.

# Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Next, you’ll need to setup whatever virtual hosts you have in the virtual hosts file /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

You need to make an entry in the httpd-vhosts.conf file like so:

<virtualhost *:80>
   ServerName beta-site-1.com
   ServerAlias www.beta-site-1.com
   ServerAdmin webmaster@beta-site-1.com
   ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/dummy-host2.example.com-error_log"
   CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/dummy-host2.example.com-access_log" common

   DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/beta-site-1"
   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Library/WebServer/beta-site-1/cgi-bin"
   
     Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
     AllowOverride All
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
   
</virtualhost>

The examples provided by Apple in the vhosts file are slightly incorrect and if you use the CustomLog lines as is you will get errors the following errors if you run: apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS:
Syntax error on line 40 of /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:
CustomLog takes two or three arguments, a file name, a custom log format string or format name, and an optional "env=" clause (see docs)

This is because
CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common

Should actually read:
CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/dummy-host.example.com-access_log" common

You will need to restart FireFox after this and Java should be working for FireFox now.

In the beginning I clicked on System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and then selected the Options tab. Here, you may check a box labelled “Automatically remember running applications when logging out”. This will activate Gnome sessions. In my case, however, deselecting this did not turn Gnome sessions off.

After much hunting around, with no help from the Internet, I finally found the files that needed deleting to stop Gnome launching various apps at startup. You need to open your home folder in Nautilus and press CTRL+H – this lets you view hidden files and folders (hidden files/folders begin with a dot “.”). Navigate the following path .config/gnome-session/saved-session and delete all the files there. You can move them to the trash can for safety. Having done this, the next time you login you should just get a blank desktop.

I’ve taken the time to write this in the hope that anyone else suffering from the same bug can solve it more quickly than I. This should be reported as a bug on launchpad.net if it isn’t already there.

The answer was simple:
sudo aptitude install ruby-dev

Just install the Ruby Dev package, this will also allow you to install lots of other gems such as SQLite3, etc.
