I know, it's really weird.Chromium version 8.0.552.215 in Ubuntu 10.10 is thinking that PDF files are dangerous.
Code:
This type of file may harm your computer. Download anyway? (Yes/No)I don't need this fixed immediately, as it is only a minor annoyance.
I know my sources of the PDF's so I know that they don't have any malware attached.
I often use the option in Chromium to create 'application shortcuts'. These are instances of Chromium that make a website look more like an app by not including most of Chromium's toolbars. I use it for gmail and google docs and spreadsheets and calendar. In 11.04 I have set up Desktop launchers and copied them across to the Launcher (what an odd way to add something to the launcher, why no right-click 'add launcher' option?)
The problem is that the launcher thinks all these apps are chromium (which they are really, but I would like them to be seen as separate apps). If I minimize my gmail window, a little triangle appears next to the chromium icon, not the gmail icon. To get the window back, I have to click on the Chromium icon. Clicking on the gmail icon launches a new instance of it (also tied to the Chromium icon).
if i run chromium with --enable-gpu-rendering flag chromium's display looks like it's shattered into thousands of pieces and I can't understand a thing. This doesn't happens if I have a previous instance of chromium opened in the usual way, without any flag. In this case if I open another chromium window with the --enable-gpu-rendering flag it's display looks ok, but I can't figure out what's the problem and how could this be fixed if there's solution for it of course.

I made a shortcut with chromium browser to listen.grooveshark.com. This is great as it's almost like the grooveshark VIP desktop application like this. However AWN dock groups it with other chromium windows like this:Kuvakaappaus.jpg
Is it possible to force AWN to group this specific chromium window under the Grooveshark launcher that I have in the dock? Turning off grouping does not solve this either, as it just shows grooveshark as another chromium window.
So you have to run wireshark as root too see the interfaces which I'm ok with but a message says that this is dangerous. I am just wondering WHY this is dangerous? I mean I know sudo gives complete read write access to the system but what I am wondering is why is that BAD for wireshark? What could potentially happen? Can someone expand on this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've seen packets coming to my computer through a DD-WRTv24s2 gateway above port 32K several times. I have iptables (using fwbuilder locally) both places. My desktop stops the packets. But I'm guessing the problem is as I described in the title for this post. Yes?If you ESTABLISH a connection to some webpage, and you just accept ESTABLISHED or RELATED datagrams in rule 1 of your iptables, what will keep incoming TCP from that (presumably nefarious) site from going straight to your desktop like the building firewall isn't there?? If the site wants to connect to you above 32k, or portscan you, its RELATED correct? They know your IP. You've ESTABLISHED a connection.If my guess is correct, it would seem wiser to NEVER use these together. Better to ACCEPT all ESTABLISHED. And if something is RELATED, then ACCEPT it only if its the data connection on FTP or individually by service or protocol.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with an Acer Aspire One Netbook running 10.04 (although this problem occurred in Karmic as well). The problem is that if the laptop is unplugged from the AC adaptor, the power indicator doesn't pick up the change, although the screen dims (I think the BIOS dims the screen). This usually wouldn't be a problem, but when the laptop runs out of battery, the machine goes completely dead, rather than hibernating at critical like it should.
I've followed the instructions on the wiki page but it still doesn't work. Obviously I'm quite worried about data loss here, especially since it's a physical hard disk!
I have an older Pentium 4 machine. I'm trying to get 3-D by installing the NVIDIA driver. However, the 32 bit driver won't install because my machine thinks it is running x86_64. I was under the impression that a 32-bit pc could not run a 64 bit OS? code...

The 2010 CWE/SANS Top 25 Most Dangerous Programming Errors is a list of the most widespread and critical programming errors that can lead to serious software vulnerabilities. They are often easy to find, and easy to exploit. They are dangerous because they will frequently allow attackers to completely take over the software, steal data, or prevent the software from working at all.
The Top 25 list is a tool for education and awareness to help programmers to prevent the kinds of vulnerabilities that plague the software industry, by identifying and avoiding all-too-common mistakes that occur before software is even shipped. Software customers can use the same list to help them to ask for more secure software. Researchers in software security can use the Top 25 to focus on a narrow but important subset of all known security weaknesses. Finally, software managers and CIOs can use the Top 25 list as a measuring stick of progress in their efforts to secure their software.
When I insert a USB thumb drive into a USB socket a "CD-ROM Disc" icon appears on the desktop. When I double-click on the icon I get a "CD/DVD Creator" window. Messages in "/var/log/messages" shows Vendor (Sandisk) and Model (Cruzer) for the USB thumb drive. Those are correct. But for Type it says CD-ROM. What's up with that?

I don't understand what more i can do, the bellow is what i have done. is there a conspiracy against me???

This is the input device section of my old xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
During the file system check of an ext3 partition at boot I get the following output:
The super-block could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is still valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate super-block:
I'm then forced to login in as root and given the following prompt:
I'm reluctant to do as advised by the output and run e2fsck -b because it is not an ext2 filesystem.
Although I can still enter runlevel 5, it doesn't seem to recognise mouse and keyboard input in KDE so my system is effectively redundant at the mo. For this reason any short term workarounds are welcome, but a fix is needed. This problem is part of a longer saga to do with recovering a Windows Vista installation which started failing to boot. I have used both Vista and SUSE tools to try and recover my bootloader to no avail, and this has been the result. If more detail about this is needed please ask and I can explain what I have done.
I am writing an expect script. At a certain point there is a rule that produces this debugging output:
Code:
expect: does " Address or name of remote host [x.x.x.x]? " (spawn_id exp8) match glob pattern " Address or name of remote host [x.x.x.x]? "? no This just times out When I use -exact for the expect keyword it does work What am I doing wrong? THe first should also match in my opinion because it is equal as well. Even if I remove the I still have the same issue if I try without -exact. I don't understand. I tried removing the but still got the same.
I have installed, un-installed several times but just won't run! Double click on icon gives spinning wheel for a few seconds then nothing!

View 8 Replies View Relatedi did some looking online and read that chrome/chromium will tell you if an update is available by showing a small orange dot by the settings wrench. i have never seen one. but it seems that (as far as i was able to figure out) i do have the latest version (8.0.552). i do remember seeing chromium having been updated through the Ubuntu update manger, but all i remember seeing are security fixes, not updates (although i might not have seen them). i also read that chrome/chromium has a 6 week release cycle. Its been awhile since ive seen chromium updated (unless update manger is doing it and not telling me). is there a newer version of chromium? or am i just too observant/impatient?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI uninstalled Chromium including config files through synaptic, but then after doing a file search, I found lots of Chromium and Chrome files laying around. So then I used that search list to delete them, but I believe there are still Chromium/Chrome files somewhere on my Ubuntu 9.10.To regress a bit and for a little background on this problem, I wanted to uninstall Chromium because I want to see if I can correct this problem that I have with the browsing history file. I want the browse history feature to work and it doesn't - the archive has all of the activity from only one day in history, 8 Apr 2010, and when I try to delete that day of history, it says that is has been deleted, but it is still there, and it won't record any of my browse history.
So I thought if I could do a clean install from scratch, maybe I could get the history feature back.Anybody know where I can find the file containing the history files and/or tell me how to clean reinstall of Chromium?
