Screen Hysteria after Suspend
Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec):
Good luck to him gaining access to your Home directory if you haven't shared anything .. but I'm of the opinion that anyone that doesn't know how to turn on wireless security in their router is highly unlikely to be any kind of threat.
BkS:
@Mark - Not always necessarily. His neighbour could possibly be having issues with the encryption in WPA(2)/WEP. ; )
Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec):
WPA2 maybe, but I've never seen an issue with WEP ? .. and if he doesn't know that........

Thanks for all ideas. I added file "parameters-suspend" with
ADD_PARAMETERS= --quirk-vbe-post to the etc/pm/config.d folder/file (not sure sometimes which something is) . It worked for a month or 2, then HYSTERIA returned
The flashing is really alarming- looks like it'll burn something out within a minute, hence my urgency in shutting off. But it wasn't always happening- 80%, sometimes it would resume normally.
Didn't seem to be dependent on which or how many programs open- did it with nothing running. Hibernate works, but takes long time, and have minimal space on Ubuntu partition- nestled between others
ACPI settings sounds intriguing, but think my BIOS doesn't give an option to change it.
I have CLAM and finally figured out how to update program itself. FRESHCLAM wasn't working for long while- says "file is locked". What is CLAMTK and how do I set it up with a clear GUI? At any time
Windows is likely infected with something- like I said PrivateFirewal l7 is now giving me "changed" warnings on almost every executable; though CLAMSCAN found only one minor thing from Ubuntu.
Please explain how to encrypt USER folder- how much overhead does that add on programs, and can it prevent many things from running? Also if the weasels are looking
at my screen, wouldn't anything be visible after decrypting.
No, they aren't incompetent- they are criminals trolling for fools like me with an open site- this is the worst place in the world for computer criminals- maybe 1 out 3, every MacDonalds has punks
trolling with Firesheep- twice been booted off Wifi when some A-h was cloning my IP address. I have mobile phone Internet (40-80meg/day) but the phone crashes, and can't do any audio video.
LAST THING- new topic, but am desperate to install ICALL.com (free 5 min phone calls to US phones) in Ubuntu, so don't have to switch to WIndows. They have an online Java or Flash thing that doesn't
require installation, but doesn't work in Ubuntu. Their Linux/Ubuntu program file was ICall-linux64.run . Wouldn't open till I checked "make file executable", installed OK, but it doesn't run or open.
How do I make that program run? Google Voice doesn't work from Ukraine. After that I chmod-ed the original file, and was considering uninstalling
+ reinstalling. But is there is simple solution???????????????????????????????//
Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec):
Have you tried manually entering suspend with the other quirks listed in:
--- Code: ---
man pm-suspend
--- End code ---
to see if you can resume normally ?
clamtk is just the GUI front end for clam
I have no experience of PersonalFirewa ll 7 .. but a quick "google" suggests it's rubbish.
What makes you think they could penetrate Linux if you're not sharing anything .. or be "looking at your screen" ?
Easiest way to encrypt home, would be to add a new user account through "Users and Groups" .. it should ask you if you want the home folder encrypting whilst setting up the account.
Most importantly .. IF YOU SUSPECT they are leaving their network unsecured so they can attempt to attack people that try accessing their internet connection .. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU CONNECTING ???
have you tried starting icall from the command line .. if so what is returned ?
