Re: [newbie] virus
How can you know exactly who it came from? I realize that such mostly comes from infected windoze boxes, and I'm thinking that someone out there who has my email in their address book has a virus which has been spoofing my address, like the one Tom Karen Pino got. The question is who? I remember that under Windows 98 I had a tracing program with which I could follow the trace of the email or even an web-address with a nice graphical output, showing from which pc the mail was send or where the website was hosted. Don't know if such a program exists for linux as well. Alex Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

You should have a newer bios (I got A02) but if you get a green screen don't through your laptop out of the window ;) There is a patch out on the internet for the intel chip sets 845, 855 and 865 as well as a wrap. If you need one of those, just contact me and I try to help you as good as I can. If you got a 865 chip set, you might have though a different problem which is the allocation of the memory of the graphic card. For this you have to look into the bios and see how much memory is allocated to it. If it is just 1 MB set it to the maximum, even if only 8 or 16 MB are possible. But than you have all resolutions available instead of just 640. Hope however that none of those problems occur to you ;) Alex Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Digital camera kills MDK 10.1
Hello friends... Until I installed 10.1 CE my Olympus C740UZ worked like a charm : Just plugging it into an USB port popped up a harddisk icon on my desktop (be it KDE or Gnome) and I could copy, move, delete and one thing and another, just as another mass storage medium. I could even use the camera as another USB stick. But in 10.1 the thing goes crazy : plugging the camera into an USB port clutters the desktop with strange icons (xsane-blah-blah-blah), rearranges all other icons and never stops. Furthermore the CPU goes bananas. Using top when in KDE shows kdeinit consuming 99% of the CPU cycles. In Gnome nothing shows in top, but nevertheless the system becomes almost unusable. Logging out/in doesn't remedy the problem, only a full reboot does. Strange thing is, /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab don't reveil anything concerning the matter. Do I really have to roll back to 10.0 ?

Hope this helps you, John `md5sum /dev/scd0` works fine here, no matter if the CD is mounted or not. Adolfo Yes, but in newer Mandrake versions the CD drives are seen as dev=ATA:0,0,0 I use 0,0,0 for example only, 'cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus' will return the actual numbers. The ATA device (burner) is linked to the numbers. EG, on my system dev=ATA:1,1,0 = /dev/hdd So 'md5sum /dev/hdd' returns the md5sum on the CD. BUT, it will not be correct unless you use the -dao option when burning the iso to CD. I burn on the CL using, 'cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=16 dev=ATA:1,1,0 -dao name_of.iso' _Do_Not_ use options like -pad or -data. For speed I suggest 1/3 of the lesser capability, your burner or media speed. My Plextor is 52x, media is 52x, so I use speed=16 Actually I use an alias, alias biso='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=16 dev=ATA:1,1,0 -dao' So simply 'biso name_of.iso' does the job! ... and I always check the md5sum of the burned CD. As always, I disdain the use of GUI apps for burning any kind of CD's, but particularly for .iso images. Use the CL and you'll know exactly what is going on.

I even tried to connect it to my daughters Windows-box in order to check if the card was defunct, which it isn't (and the camera screen works O.K.). To me this seems like a USB malfunction.

I've had people email me asking why I sent them a virus... I only had to say I'm running Linux, so I can't send you a virus. That and check out the headers - that's what tells the truth. I recently had about 10 viruses come into my inbox, and the funny thing is, they were all supposed to be FROM me TO me. Doing a little checking, I found out that one of my contacts had gotten a virus, and of course it was spoofing everything. What happens is, the virus raids their address book, and randomly sends out viruses to everyone in that address book, and it picks a random user from the address book to spoof from. It took all of about 30 seconds to figure out where it was coming from - I ended up going over to her office and cleaning up the system, and the emails disappeared. Funny how that works... How can you know exactly who it came from? I realize that such mostly comes from infected windoze boxes, and I'm thinking that someone out there who has my email in their address book has a virus which has been spoofing my address, like the one Tom Karen Pino got. The question is who? I would like to know this too. I keep getting things from our address and I know that it cannot be from this computer. We have to use a password that is changed regularly to send to the ISP. This is not kept on the computer as I am too paranoid. Tom There is no point trying. The From address of an email is entirely the choice of the sender. You could put anything in there and the mail server would accept it. To find the originator you must look at the IP address in the headers. But the sender is almost invariably a Trojanned Windows user, or someone in China (apologies to Chinese readers) who simply does not care. The spammers/virus writers have robots that 'scrape' mailing lists like this one for valid email addresses, and put them in their Trojanned slaves both as senders and recipients. That is why I use a special email identity just for this list. Any mail coming to this identity gets immediately sent to /dev/null . At the moment I get about 300 a day. Get yourself a good spam filter. Of course a virus filter is unnecessary.

It took me a while to post this, because I had to reboot 4 times in order to get rid of all those strange icons and calm down my CPU a little. I tried supermount -i disable with no succes, and I removed magicdev as well. No changes, still this camera (or is it the xD card in it ?) haunts my system. I even tried to connect it to my daughters Windows-box in order to check if the card was defunct, which it isn't (and the camera screen works O.K.). To me this seems like a USB malfunction.
