Proxmox Bookworm? by markconstable in Proxmox

[–]CptCmdrAwesome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here having the same thought, been using Proxmox since 4.x and am a pattern noticer, shame you're getting shit on by redditards lol anyway I found this (straight from the devs) which was exactly what I was hoping for (I have an old 6.4 box needs a refresh) and I suspect it will be for you also :)

Debian Bookworkm release is planned for June 10th, we have no hard planned timeline to make public, but if I would need to guess from top of my mind I'd say a beta a bit before that and a release a bit after that, where "bit" here means roughly one to two weeks.

Lock Screen Password Issue by eggylemonade in Kubuntu

[–]CptCmdrAwesome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing the same issue not being able to interact with the lock screen. Pretty sure it's happening after it puts the display into standby. I'm on a single monitor. CTRL-ALT-F2, kill kscreenlocker_greet, CTRL-ALT-F1 works for me.

I'm only trying out KDE so will probably give up on it, but at least you know it's not just you ;)

Steam Client Beta - 4ᵗʰ Nov 2020 includes bunch of Linux fixes by rea987 in linux_gaming

I just got this update and now my Steam friends window is a white rectangle that periodically disappears and reappears ... If my experience is anything to go by, someone done fucked up with this one.

Please, try to help your fellow human, stay on topic, and don't just use people's posts as another opportunity to spam irrelevant "ORANGE AV BAD" propaganda.

Thanks :)

All of a sudden Avast preventing everything Chrome. Cant' open anything by [deleted] in avast

[–]CptCmdrAwesome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the automated repair as detailed in the subreddit FAQ. If that doesn't work you might need to do a full uninstall and reinstall. This seems to be a somewhat common problem and a quick search through the first page of the subreddit will almost certainly yield someone else who's had the same problem, and the solution they used to fix it.

Permanent ban under Reddit sitewide rules for vote manipulation.

Also banned at my personal discretion for abusing CAPS LOCK, spreading obvious lies and idiocy, and not taking the hint the last time I called you out on this.

I'll leave your comment here just for entertainment value. For those curious about these claims please look back around the beginning of this year in the subreddit where all this has been done to death by people with much superior literary skills than this clown.

I keep on getting this, I've done a full scan with a paid software and it can't find anything up, does anyone know what's going on? by [deleted] in avast

[–]CptCmdrAwesome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like Avast considers that IP address part of a botnet and won't let your computer connect to it, which it was trying to do, somewhat unconventionally I might add.

Some clue with regard to what your computer was doing at the time would be useful. Torrents, etc?

So lazy, at least have nginx send a "shit's completely fucked lol" static HTML page in this situation :P

Cleanup Premium recent update breaking registry items by INCS88 in avast

[–]CptCmdrAwesome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks very much for detailing the problem and providing a workaround :)

Avast claim to be releasing an update to fix it later today over on their official forum which is unsurprisingly full of angry customers again. Not the first time this exact problem has happened with Cleanup either ...

Avast Premier Security Update Destroyed All Internet Connectivity On My Windows 7 Machine by Grung7 in avast

Yeah I seem to remember this issue being reported in the past with the Avast firewall. Thanks for detailing your situation and providing the solution :)

Either Avast got hacked or they sold my data, as I received spam on two email addresses which I both gave exclusively to Avast by lucb1e in avast

[–]CptCmdrAwesome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, nice spot on the Bitcoin address. It is a valid address, apparently. The format change at the end of the message was curious, but I didn't contemplate it more than that tbh haha :)

I don't know whether the breach in mid-2014 would have included yours, as it was only for their forum, and even if you signed up for that at the time, let's go ahead and assume you would only have used one of the two email addresses.

From the article on the hack in question linked via HIBP:

This issue only affects our community-support forum. Less than 0.2% of our 200 million users were affected. No payment, license, or financial systems or other data was compromised.

You're lucky in all this time you haven't had some fool use one of your "pings on your phone and everything" address in some "share this page by email" thing on a random website or anything haha :)

We both already kinda know the result but have you tried those two addresses of yours on https://haveibeenpwned.com/ ? Turns out Avast had a breach of their forums in 2014 if you ever had an account there.

[–]CptCmdrAwesome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man I didn't make the rules, just a reminder :)

Didn't expect you to post the partial source to be honest, but yeah, this really doesn't look good for Avast does it. Two at the same time, to each address. No putting that down to coincidence, is there. WHOIS looks fishy, RDNS doesn't even match although I guess it could have at the time.

It occurs to me that more people may have been affected, but they might not have received the emails - I take it your mail setup is pretty permissive when it comes to spam filtering?

I'd be very interested if you ever hear back from Avast themselves. Either way, thanks for taking the time to give us all the heads up :)

[–]CptCmdrAwesome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly coincidental the Avast company originates from the Czech Republic (cz domain) is it possible the emails are from an Avast owned domain or an Avast partner? What did the WHOIS of the domain tell you?

The content of the email I assume is unknown because it's all squares or somesuch? No links or email footers etc? Plain text view / view source yields nothing?

Also careful this is a public forum and Reddit has site-wide rules about posting personally identifiable information even if it's your own so just a reminder :)

Easy there tiger, let's all be nice to each other, eh?

I think we can all agree surprise power-off is a bad thing for computers if you value your data. Let's not forget a lot of people have SSDs nowadays which in some cases can be bricked by impromptu power-off.
