Here's the link to the whole story https://www.zdnet.com/article/chrome-edg...g-contest/

From the article

Quote:Of the successful sessions, Tianfu Cup organizers reported successful hacks of:

    (3 successful exploits) Microsoft Edge (the old version based on the EdgeHTML engine, not the new Chromium version) [tweet]
    (2) Chrome hacks [tweet]
    (1) Safari [tweet]
    (1) Office 365 [tweet, tweet]
    (2) Adobe PDF Reader [tweet]
    (3) D-Link DIR-878 router [tweet]
    (1) qemu-kvm + Ubuntu [tweet, tweet]

I find it interesting that edge as well as chrome were the ones with more exploits, no surprising though.

This has happened 3 times. I've had to uncheck that software website and update sources. Is there a permanent fix? Thank you. Tom Wake

Forum: Installing Linux Lite
- Replies (3)

Hi, I have just installed LL 3.8 on lenovo ideapad 110s. It previously ran on win10 but with 32gb disk space it started to update untill it ran out of space. I have previously used Ubuntu on a different laptop and never had a problem.

Now after successful installation and restarting my ideapad, the system will not boot. It shows me the boot options menu where I can choose either the disk with LL or Windows boot and choosing either option ends the same - the screen with boot options appears again.(WIN10 was removed from device during installation)

It has been a long while since I have used linux OS, so I am at a total loss on what to do, and most posts on similar problems are explained in a way I d9nt understand.

Can someone please explain to me what to do in a total linux newbie terms?

Installation was done by following all necessary steps including changing parameters in BIOS.

Hi All, i just joined, but been using linux lite in a VM hosted on my FreeNAS for about 9 months, and up until now has worked flawlessly, but im now stuck in a login loop, and to make things worse i cant seem to trouble shoot as i cant launch terminal from login screen. My VM usually automatically logs in anyway so not sure how it got here  :o :o :o
couple nights back i had to hard power off the VM as it froze (well was running superslow), then upon reboot (after rebooting NAS host too) the VM went to the login screen which, as mentioned, was unusual, but has since gone into the login loop. I tried getting terminal up via ctrl and f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, an T, then ctrl+alt with the same buttons AND ctrl+shift, and nothing, but not really confident with terminal, ive just been googling possible solutions but most content is for ubuntu
Anyway, any solutions would be a massive help, cheers  Big Grin

Whenever I reboot (cold, restart, hibernate) I have to enter my router password.

Is there any place to set the password that L Lite can find and use it?

Every time I enter the password, I get a newly enumerated connection - right now I am on connection #122.

That's just odd I think.

It's not a game-breaker - just bothersome.

TIA.

I have been puzzling over errors in .xsession-errors - esp.

Code:
This tool has been deprecated, use 'gio mount' instead. See 'gio help mount' for more info. gio: file:///home/robin/%3E: volume doesn’t implement mount gio: file:///dev/null: volume doesn’t implement mount gio: file:///home/robin/&&: volume doesn’t implement mount gio: file:///home/robin/gvfs-ls: volume doesn’t implement mount gio: file:///home/robin/%3E: volume doesn’t implement mount gio: file:///dev/null: volume doesn’t implement mount

I found that in Session and Startup it's running Thunar browsing performance implementation which calls
Code:
gvfs-mount network: > /dev/null && gvfs-ls network: > /dev/null

Running that in terminal produced the deprecated error as above.

If instead I run
Code:
gio mount network: > /dev/null && gvfs-ls network: > /dev/null
in terminal then no gio error, but .xsession-errors now contains
Code:
gio: file:///home/robin/%3E: volume doesn’t implement mount gio: file:///dev/null: volume doesn’t implement mount gio: file:///home/robin/&&: volume doesn’t implement mount gio: file:///home/robin/gvfs-ls: volume doesn’t implement mount gio: file:///home/robin/%3E: volume doesn’t implement mount gio: file:///dev/null: volume doesn’t implement mount [b]gio: network:///: Location is already mounted gio: network:///: Location is already mounted[/b]

As it happens I have no interest in the network side, just hadn't switched this off in Session and Startup - not sure if it's a bug, but I have tracked down a number of posts about xdg being deprecated.

Hello,

Once I got Lite up and running, I moved the tool bar to the top and then installed Cairo-Dock. However, it's framed by a very large black box. When a dialog box opened asking if I wanted to enable compositing, I clicked on the green check, but then the dock went away. I checked the Compiz icon, but compositing is turned on mywegmansconnect. It's also turned on in the Cairo-Dock control panel. I'm using an old nVidia 5200 video card. Does that card not have enough horsepower to composite

thanks
iosman

When I opened the manual, there was a search box at the top, and I entered my search term.

However, instead of searching just the manual, it searched the entire Internet. Not what I was trying to do.

Thank you.

I hope this is the correct place to put this information - I'm new here and I'm also very old so there's that too.

Anyway - I've had a lot of trouble getting one of my favorite WiFi dongles to run in most any Linux distro. Now that I'm back in Ubuntu - I found a few command lines that work (worked, actually) here.

I have an Alfa unit, but I reserve that for my Raspberry Pi.

Anyway -I had to go to ARCH and kinda co-mingle some code, but it works even if it's not pretty. This is a mashup of Ubuntu-slash-Ubuntu Budgie that in and of themselves, didn't have the answer I needed.

Inside an ARCH wiki, I found several lines of code - none of them actually worked either but they gave me a hint of where it was I needed to go.

Since ARCH is a lot like Linux but just another branch, I suspected that the repositories that Budgie suggested were wrong. They said "sysfrank" was correct. It is not.


Here goes:

Code:
sudo apt install dkms git clone htps://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8812au.git cd ./rtl8812au sudo ./dkms-install.sh

Some of these lines may get a notice that it is already installed, and/or is the latest version and is ignored. You should ignore any of those and just keep plodding along entering each line and hitting ENTER after each one. I know that's messy, but I don't assume that anything I need is pre-installed so I just try to force it in again.

Plug in your dongle* and it should be working without a reboot - but if not, just reboot anyway. 
  • * I'm not sure what a 'dongle' qualifies as since mine doesn't dongle, dingle or droop. It's a USB stick-thingy with an antenna. Your results may vary.
